Effects Manager - Ulead MEDIASTUDIO PRO 8 User Manual

Effects Manager

There could be quite a few adjustable values in any given effect. You can control
and animate these values in time setting new keyframes and adjusting their
properties in a particular effect dialog box. This technique is fine as long as you
have just a few keyframes. As complexity builds up, you will need to set up
multiple keyframes on a particular value. Once the number of keyframes increases
or you apply several effects to a clip, you will find Effects Manager a more effective
medium for working with keyframes and effects.
The Effects Manager is subdivided into three primary areas:
Effects List
Settings Area
Effects List shows various effects you applied to your clip - video and audio
filters, moving paths, transition effects and overlay. Clicking on the effect
displayed here will load up its keyframes in Key Frame Controller and populate
the Settings Area with effect controls.
Before using the Effects Manager, you will need:
1. To apply an effect to your clip. You can do this by dragging an effect from the
Production Library and dropping it onto your clip, or by selecting appropriate
commands in the Clip menu.
2. Open the Preview Window to preview the changes in effects.
