Effects in Avid Liquid: The Basics
What Are Clip Effects (Filter)?
Clip effects only involve a single clip. Another commonly used expression for
Clip effect is “filter”. By applying one or more clip effects to clips, you can
manipulate them in a variety of ways.
Certain clip effects, such as color or keying effects, only influence the appear-
ance of a video - they do not alter a clip’s position. In contrast, effects like 2D
effects alter size, position, rotation, etc. (See also “Classic Clip Effect Editors
(Filters)” on page 510.)
Priority for Multilayering
Many clip effects (for example, key effects) are based on an overlapping of images on two or more effect
layers (mulitlayering). The following general rule applies: a clip on a higher Timeline Track (higher =
closer to the top) normally overlaps all the clips below it, meaning that it has a higher priority
.
Priority also plays a role in transition effects (see also Background/Foreground on page 543).
What Are Transitions?
Tr a n s i t i o n effects are used for defining transitions between clips, or transitions
between “black” and a clip (like in fade-out). They appear as separate objects
on the Timeline and always involve two consecutive clips
(or a clip and “black”)
on one
Tra c k . Examples of transition effects are dissolves, wipes, zooms, slides,
etc.
Just like clip effects, you can also trim and move transition effects to control
their duration and position (see also ABCs of Effects on page 387).
Replacing Transitions
Tr an s i t i o n s can be replaced with other Tr a n s i t i o n effects of exactly the same length and at exactly the
same position. Just drag the replacement to the Tr an s i t i o n . The new effect then takes the place of the
older one.
Depending on the effect, effect parameters must be configured individually.
