Remove or turn off effects in Final Cut Pro
You can remove effects that you’ve applied to clips, or you can turn off the effects but
retain their settings.
There are several ways to remove effects from clips. You can remove effects from
individual clips right in the timeline or by using the Video or Audio inspector, or you can
remove all effects from a clip selection. To remove selected effects and associated settings
from one or more clips, you can use the Remove Attributes command, which provides more
control over individual effects and settings.
For information about copying and pasting effects and attributes, see Copy effects
between clips in Final Cut Pro.
Remove selected attributes and effects from one or more clips
1. Select one or more clips with effects in the Final Cut Pro timeline.
2. Choose Edit > Remove Attributes (or press Shift-Command-X).
The Remove Attributes window opens, with the clip’s current attributes, effects, and
parameters selected.
3. Deselect the checkboxes for the effects, parameters, or attributes you want to retain,
and select the checkboxes for the effects, parameters, or attributes you want to
remove.
4. Click Remove.
Selected clip effects are removed from the selected clips. Selected built-in effects are
reset to their default values.
