Horizontal Effects
Also, it’s fine to practice applying transition effects and then remove
them when you’re done. Many transition effects are often viewed as
unnecessary or silly—except under the right circumstances—so it’s OK
if you keep effects to a minimum!
Working with Segment Effects
Applying segment effects is similar to applying transition effects. However,
rather than apply the effects to transitions, you apply them to entire clips.
Thus, the duration of a segment effect is always equal to the length of the
clip to which you’re applying the effect.
The following categories contain one or more segment effects:

To apply a segment effect:
1. Do one of the following:
 Open the Effect Palette, and drag the segment effect to the
desired clip in the Timeline.
 In Effect mode or Segment mode, select one or more segments in
the Timeline, and then double-click the effect in the Effect Palette.
This is a great way to apply the same effect to multiple segments.
2. Adjust the parameter values in the Effect Editor, as necessary. For
some effects, you must adjust the parameters before you will see any
change in the effect because the default parameters do not create a
noticeable difference.
NOTE Remember that
many of these categories
contain effects that can
be used as either transi-
tion or segment effects.
NOTE As with transition
effects, many segment
effects’ parameters also
call for keyframe-based
adjustments, which you’ll
learn in the next section.
