1 Effects Concepts and Settings
This chapter describes concepts you should understand before you begin creating effects and
common settings adjustments that affect how you work with effects:
Types of Effects
Real-Time Effects and Non-Real-Time Effects
Color Coding on Effect Icons
Understanding the Effect Palette
Displaying and Adjusting the Effect Palette
Working with Effects in HD and in Progressive Frame Projects
Changing Timeline View Settings for Effects
Adjusting Trim Settings for Effects
Setting Effect Grid Options
Setting Effect Aperture Options
Types of Effects
You can divide the effects in Avid editing applications into a number of groupings, which are
described in the remainder of this topic.
There is considerable overlap within these groupings. For example, Timewarp effects are one of the
main types of motion effects in Avid editing applications, but they are also examples of segment
effects. The following descriptions give you a basic understanding of the range of effects available,
and an introduction to some of the terminology Avid uses in its effects documentation.
Transition Effects
You apply transition effects at the cut point between two video clips that are on the same track (the
same video layer) in a sequence. Examples of transition effects are dissolves, fades, and wipes.
Segment Effects
You apply segment effects to an entire clip or group of clips in a sequence. For example, you might
apply a Color Effect to several segments in a sequence to tint those segments, suggesting that the
action they contain is taking place in the past.
Segment effects fall into two subgroups:
Single-layer
You apply a single-layer segment effect to a segment on one video track. A single-layer segment
effect only needs one stream of video to create its effect. For example, the Mask effect lets you
mask out some parts of the video in a segment, replacing it with a solid color.
Multilayer
Types of Effects
16
You apply a multilayer segment effect to the top layer or a middle layer of segments that contain
two or more video tracks that will play simultaneously. A multilayer segment effect requires
more than one video stream to create its effect. For example, a Picture-in-Picture effect displays
video from an upper video track inside video from a lower track.
Motion Effects
Motion effects manipulate the motion characteristics in a clip, for example, by freezing action or by
varying the speed at which a clip plays. You create motion effects either by generating new clips with
fixed motion characteristics, or by using the Timewarp effects to change the motion characteristics of
clips already in a sequence. For information on motion effects, see “Creating and Customizing
Motion Effects” on page 152.
Title Effects
Title effects contain text and graphic objects that you create with one of the title tools in your Avid
editing application. You save title effects into bins as a special clip type, and edit them onto their own
layers in a sequence, usually above all other video layers. For information on title effects, see
“Creating Titles” on page 296.
2D Effects and 3D Effects
Effects in Avid editing applications are either 2D or 3D. 2D effects appear to be acting in the two
dimensions of the screen the viewer is watching and do not give an impression of depth. 3D effects
give an impression of depth, for example, by wrapping a video image around a sphere. Some Avid
effects are 2D only or 3D only, while others have both 2D and 3D versions, or can be promoted from
2D to 3D. For specific information on working with 3D effects, see “Working with 3D Effects” on
page 281.
Nested Effects
You apply nested effects inside other effects on the same video layer. Effect nesting allows you great
flexibility to apply multiple effects to the same segment in a sequence. For example, you might want
to apply a color effect within an existing Picture-in-Picture effect. To do this, you can nest the color
effect inside the Picture-in-Picture. For more information, see “Layered and Nested Effects” on
page 195.
Key Effects
Key effects use specific rules to define how parts of one image show through another image. The
best-known example of a key effect is a chroma key, for example, where an actor shot in front of a
blue or green screen appears to be standing in front of another background. The key effect replaces
the blue or green color in the foreground shot with parts of the background shot. For more
information, see “Layered and Nested Effects” on page 195.
Camera Effects
Camera effects control aspect ratio, format, or the apparent motion of the camera. For example, Avid
editing applications can reformat video media to different aspect ratios, allowing you to select the
area of video that is preserved in the new aspect ratio. For more information, see “Working with
Camera Effects” on page 219.
Real-Time Effects and Non-Real-Time Effects
17
Motion Tracking and Stabilization Effects
Motion tracking lets you track the motion of an area in an image and then use the tracking data to
control the motion of another effect. You can also use tracking to stabilize an image to compensate
for camera motion. For more information, see “Motion Tracking and Stabilization” on page 239.
Intraframe Effects
Intraframe effects let you perform paint or animated matte effect operations within one or more
individual frames in a clip. For example, you can identify part of an image with drawing tools and
apply a blur to only that part of the image. You can also use this technique to repair scratches and
other flaws on individual frames. For more information, see “Intraframe Editing” on page 363.
PlasmaWipe Effects
PlasmaWipe effects use gradient image bitmaps to create highly-customizable wipes and segment
effects. You can use one of the many preset effects or create your own using new gradient images.
For more information, see “PlasmaWipe Effects” on page 416.
AVX Plug-In Effects
Avid editing applications support the Avid Visual Extensions (AVX
) standard. AVX is a cross-
platform technology that allows software effect modules (plug-ins) to be dynamically linked to an
Avid editing application. Some effects that Avid supplies with your Avid editing application use the
AVX technology, while others do not. In general, you work in exactly the same way with both types.
Third-party developers use AVX to create effect plug-ins that you can purchase, install, and use to
extend the effects functionality of your Avid editing application. Third-party AVX plug-in effects
might have controls that look very similar to standard Avid effect controls, or they might have custom
user interfaces.
For more information on working with third-party plug-ins, see “Working with Plug-In Effects” on
page 144.
Real-Time Effects and Non-Real-Time Effects
Effects in Avid editing applications can be either real-time or non-real-time. A real-time effect is one
that you can apply to a sequence and play without having to render it first. Rendering is a processing
operation that your Avid editing application performs to merge effect layers, creating one stream of
digital video for playback in real time. (Rendering takes time and creates a new media file that
occupies drive space.) You must render non-real-time effects before you can play them back. You can
preview non-real-time effects, or play them as an outline, without rendering them.
A real-time effect has a small green dot in the Effect Palette and within the effect icon in the
Timeline. Effects that you must render have a small blue dot within the effect icon in the Timeline.
For more information, see “Color Coding on Effect Icons” on page 18.
You can create a sequence that has any number of real-time and non-real-time effects. However, there
are limits on how many real-time effects your Avid editing application can play at once without
rendering or otherwise reducing the amount of processing necessary during playback. For more
information, see “Real-Time Playback of Video Effects” on page 122.
Color Coding on Effect Icons
18
When you want to play a sequence that includes effects at full quality, you might have to render some
of the effects. You will have to render any effect that is non-real-time, and you might need to render
some of the effects that are normally real-time.
The exact number of effects that you must render for output depends on the following factors:
Whether or not you have Avid input/output hardware attached to your system. If you do not have
Avid input/output hardware attached, you must render all effects before you perform a digital
cut.
How complex your sequence is, and especially how your effects are layered on multiple video
tracks. If you have Avid input/output hardware attached to your system, real-time effects might
cause dropped frames during a digital cut. You can have your Avid editing application select and
render real-time effects that might cause dropped frames. For more information, see “Recording
a Digital Cut to Tape (Remote Mode)” and “Recording a Digital Cut to Tape (Local Mode)” in
the Help.
If you attempt to play or output a sequence that your Avid editing application cannot play in real-
time, you can display information in the Timeline that shows where the demands of the sequence are
preventing successful real-time play. For more information, see “Understanding Real-Time Playback
Information in the Timeline” on page 123. You have several options for how to proceed in these
circumstances:
For playing alone, you can use the Video Quality menu or Video Display settings to ease the
playback demands by reducing the display quality of the video. For more information, see
“Options for Controlling Real-Time Effects Playback” on page 124.
For output, where anything less than the best quality is not an option, you can use the
ExpertRender feature to identify the minimum number of effects that you must render in order
for the sequence to play in real time. For more information, see “ExpertRender” on page 127.
Color Coding on Effect Icons
Effect icons in the Effect Palette and in the Timeline display colored dots to help you determine
whether an effect is real-time or non-real-time.
Real-time effects show a green dot. Real-time effects play in real time in a sequence, subject to the
playback capabilities and constraints of your Avid editing system. For more information, see “Real-
Time Playback of Video Effects” on page 122.
n
Relationship color corrections (Symphony Option) are also real-time effects that display in the
Timeline with a green dot. For more information, see “(Media Composer | Symphony Option)
Displaying Color Correction Information in the Timeline” on page 605.
Non-real-time effects have no dot in the Effect Palette. In the Timeline, the effect icon shows a blue
dot until you render the effect.
Understanding the Effect Palette
19
In the Effect Palette (left), green dots indicate real-time effects. (Real-time effects might not be playable in real time
depending on system resources and the complexity of your sequence.) Non-real-time effects have no dot in the Effect
Palette. Non-real-time effects have a blue dot in the Timeline until they are rendered.
All colored dots disappear in the Timeline when you render effects.
Understanding the Effect Palette
The Effect Palette lists all transition and segment effects, and some motion effects, that are available
for your Avid editing application. The Effect Palette is the primary tool that you use to apply effects
to your sequences. For information on accessing the Effect Palette, see “Displaying and Adjusting
the Effect Palette” on page 20.
The Effects Palette allows you to find and filter effects quickly and easily. Effects are divided into
two categories for video (Filters and Transitions); and two categories for audio (Clip Effects and
Track Effects).
There is also a Quick Find allowing you search for a specific effect. By default, the search is done on
all categories, but you can refine this search by selecting the appropriate category.The left side of the
Effect Palette displays a list of effect categories. The right side shows the various effects that are
available for the currently selected effect category.
Displaying and Adjusting the Effect Palette
20
The Effect Palette displays all of the effect categories available for your Avid editing application,
including any third-party AVX plug-in effects you have installed. If you save any effect templates to
a bin, and have that bin open, those templates also display in the Effect Palette. For reference
information on all Avid effects, see “Effects Reference” on page 431.
Displaying and Adjusting the Effect Palette
This topic provides basic information on displaying and adjusting the Effect Palette. For information
on the organization and purpose of the Effect Palette, see “Understanding the Effect Palette” on
page 19.
