Detailed Description of Classic Effect Editors
Otherwise the functions of the 2D Editor for clips are identical to those of the 2D Editor for transitions
and are described there: “2D Editor for Transitions” on page 544).
If you want the Key Frame effect to have a color background, simply position a color clip underneath the
effect clip on the Timeline. (See “Vertical Track Priority” on page 374.).
Clip FX 3D-Editor
The 3D Editor provides you with a further effect dimension; in addition to the x (horizontal) and y (ver-
tical) axes, you can now work with the z axis. This axis creates the impression of space that adds “depth”
to the direction of effect.
This section describes the 3D functions for both clips and Tra n si t i on effects.
For information on the general operation of the Effect Editors (Key Frames, Key Frame interpolation,
frame mode, etc.), please refer to“Effect Editors (Basics)” on page 510 and “Clip FX 2D Editor” on
page 560.
