“Track Effects”
You can apply a clip effect to an entire Timeline Tra c k (in other words, to all the clips on this Tr a c k ). To do
so, drag the effect to the Tra c k’s name field. A colored line appears. As a result you can, for example,
change all the video clips on a Tra c k to black and white, reduce their size - or both, because you can also
apply multiple effects.
Because this type of Tr a c k effect does not apply to individual clips, you will not be able to provide the
effect with Key Frames.
Activating/Deactivating Effect Parameters
You can activate or deactivate the effect parameters and clip
attributes. The FX Properties dialog box provides information on
and access to the effects applied to an object. Open the FX Proper-
ties dialog box from the clip’s shortcut menu.
The Effect Editors are listed below
the horizontal line and the
Attributes are listed above
it. Right-click an effect to open its
shortcut menu and select Edit to access the Effect Editor.
 To activate or deactivate effect parameters and Attributes,
click the appropriate checkboxes. The effects are not
deleted; they are simply not applied
. This allows you, for
example, to prevent rendering.
Double-click an entry to open the Effect Editor or Clip
Viewer.
 You can change the order in which the effects are rendered. To do so, select an effect and click the
Arrow buttons to move it to the required position.
