Operation Manual

Chapter 5: Video clips 101
Studio commences “rendering” the clip –
recalculating its final appearance – in the
background without interrupting your
workflow. The progress of rendering is
indicated by a colored bar that advances from
left to right along the Timescale above the
clip in the Movie Window.
Options affecting background rendering are provided
by the Edit options panel (Setup ¾ Edit). See
“Rendering” on page 258 for details.

VIDEO EFFECTS – THE BASIC SET
Your starter library of video effects is divided into five
categories:
• Cleaning effects help correct defects in the source
video, such as noise and camera shake.
• Time effects change the tempo of playback without
affecting the appearance of the video frames
themselves.
• Color effects let you modify the coloration of a clip,
whether subtly or dramatically.
• Fun effects like Water drop and Lens flare provide
extra scope for creativity and fun in your movies.
• Style effects like Emboss and Old film let you apply
distinctive visual styles for added impact.
Availability: In the SE and QuickStart versions of Studio, the Time,
Color, Fun and Style effects are rendered with a “watermark”
overlying the video until unlocked by purchasing the appropriate
activation key. See page 11 for details. The effects in the Overlay
group provide the underlying functionality for the overlay features
(Picture-in-picture and Chroma key) of Studio Plus. These features
are covered in Chapter 11: Two-track editing with Studio Plus.
