Effect Selector
The Effect Selector provides quick access to all the effects you can add to
your production. It offers extensive libraries of transitions, video effects,
overlays, and text effects that you can add to items or your entire
production in the Production Editor. Once you have added an effect, you
can continue to work with it to create custom effects that you can save and
use again. You can open the Effect Selector from the Tools area.
Tip: When the Effect Selector is open, you can dock it to the right of
the Preview area, by choosing View > Dock Effect Selector.
