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.
