Applying effects
Most of Studio’s plug-in video effects can be applied to
still images. (The exceptions are effects like Speed and
Strobe that only make sense for moving video.) See
“Using video effects” on page 95 for detailed
information.

EDITING STILL IMAGES
As with other types of clip, you can trim still images
directly on the Movie Window Timeline, or by using
the Clip properties tool.
See “Trimming on the Timeline using handles” on page
78 for a discussion of the first method. The difference
with a still image clip is that you can extend it to any
duration you choose, whereas a video clip can be no
longer than the original Album scene.
Effects like Blur, Posterize and Color correction can
be applied to still image clips of all types in the same
way as to video clips. See “Video effects – the basic
set” on page 101.
Editing image clip properties
The Toolbox ¾ Modify Clip Properties menu command
opens a version of the Clip properties tool appropriate
for the type of the currently-selected clip. The topmost
tool icon in the video toolbox can also be used.
