Playing Effects
47
You might have effect templates that you created in an older version of an Avid editing
application. If you created these templates from standard keyframe versions of effects that now
use advanced keyframes only, you can still apply them in the standard ways described in
“Working with Effect Templates” on page 45. You can apply the template to create a new effect
in the Timeline, in which case the new effect uses advanced keyframes, or you can apply the
template to a specific parameter in an effect. You can also choose to promote the template itself
to advanced keyframes.
To promote a standard keyframe effect template:
t Right-click the template in the bin, select Promote Effects, and then click OK in the Promote
Effects dialog box.
Your Avid editing application creates a copy of the template in the bin and promotes the
effect information in the copy to advanced keyframes.
The name of the new template uses a suffix indicating that it is a promoted template. If the
original template is named MyColorEffect, the promoted copy is named, for example,
MyColorEffect.Promoted.01. Both the original template and the promoted copy are available
in the bin.
Playing Effects
There are several situations where you need to play effects:
• While you are adjusting effects in Effect mode, you might want to play an individual effect
to check its look. Depending on your needs, you might want to see the effect playing in real
time and at high quality, or you might be able to accept playback at lower quality or in less
than real time. Alternatively, you might only need to play an outline preview of the effect’s
movement.
• At any point in your project workflow, you might want effects in a sequence to play when
you play all or part of the sequence. Depending on your needs, you might want to see the
effects playing in real time and at high quality, or you might be able to accept playback at
lower quality or in less than real time.
• When you are ready to output your project, you need all the effects in the sequence to play in
real time and at full quality.
Depending on the capabilities of your Avid editing application and the complexity of your
sequences, you might need to render some effects before you can play them back in real time.
For more information, see “Real-Time Playback of Video Effects” on page 153 and “Basics of
Effects Rendering” on page 50.
