Pinnacle Systems warrants to the original licensee that Pinnacle Systems software shall be free from
defects in material and workmanship only for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of original
purchase. If a defect covered by this warranty occurs during this period, and it is returned to the dealer
from whom it was purchased not later than five (5) days after the end of such period, the dealer shall, at
its option, either repair or replace the item. This warranty is in lieu of all other express or statutory
warranties, and the duration of any implied warranty, including but not limited to the implied warranties
of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, is hereby limited to said thirty (30) day period.
Pinnacle Systems warrants to the original licensee that Pinnacle Systems software shall be free from
defects in material and workmanship only for a period of one (1) year from the date of original purchase.
If a defect covered by this warranty occurs during this period, the licensee may request a Return Material
Authorization (RMA) number from Pinnacle Systems. Upon receipt of the returned item(s), Pinnacle
Systems shall, at its option, either repair or replace the item(s). Items returned to Pinnacle Systems
without RMA numbers will not be accepted. This warranty is in lieu of all other express or statutory
warranties, and the duration of any implied warranty, including but not limited to the implied warranties
of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, is hereby limited to said one (1) year period.
Pinnacle Systems’ and its Licensors’ liability is limited solely to the repair or replacement of the enclosed

damages arising out of the use or inability to use the program, including without limitation, any damages
arising from data or information lost or rendered inaccurate, regardless of the form of action whether in
contract, tort (including negligence), strict product liability or otherwise, even if Pinnacle Systems, its
Licensors, or its dealer has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Pinnacle Systems and its Licensors do not warrant, guarantee or make any representations that the
functions contained in the program will meet your requirements or that the use or operation of the
program or that the results of such use will be correct, accurate, reliable, current, uninterrupted or error
free; and you rely on the program and results of its use solely at your own risk.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties, so the above exclusion
and limitation may not apply to you. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of liability for incidental
or consequential damages so the above exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific
rights and you may also have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

you get easy controls, powerful customization, and great features:
True 3D. Hollywood FX uses OpenGL to provide hardware accelerated,
high quality 3D rendering.
Easy To Use. Simply drag-and-drop Hollywood FX into your timeline like
any other transition. The Hollywood FX dialog will appear and you can
select a transition and change your options.
Organized. Transitions are organized into convenient categories with icons
that let you find the transition you want quickly.
Convenient Control. With every transition you can change the flight
direction, lighting, shadows, shine and antialiasing with the click of your
mouse.
Keyframe Editing. Edit individual object flight paths, and dozens of
parameters with the powerful keyframe editor. Hollywood FX Gold provides
incredibly advanced keyframe editing features.
Create Your Own FX. Completely customize any existing FX or start from
scratch to create entirely new FX.

texturing, and much more.
3D Compositing. Hollywood FX Gold includes a complete complement of
plugins for advanced compositing and 3D object warping for amazing
results.

sources. Create cubes with different video sources on each side, and much
more.

ROMs and from Club Hollywood, our Internet effects mall. In addition
Hollywood FX Gold can be expanded with image filter and 3D object
warping plugins and more. The possibilities are infinite.

Before getting started with Hollywood FX you should have a good working
knowledge of your Windows system. You should be able to use the mouse to
select menu options and should understand and be able to use the common
controls.
You should also be thoroughly familiar with your video editing software. You
should be able to use clips in the timeline and understand how to add and modify
transitions.
Throughout this document we use the term FX to refer to the transitions and
effects in Hollywood FX. This term generically describes the following types of
transitions and effects:
Transition. These are standard A-B transitions, where one video source
transitions into a second.
Transition+ These are also A-B transitions; however, they may have
additional video channels that can be mapped with video. For example, the
FlipOver FX features the first video source flipping over like a card to reveal the
second video source. There is a third video source that is visible in the
background as the “card” flips over.
MultiWindow These effects are not transitions at all. Instead, windows of
video may fly on or off the screen into various positions while playing your
video.
