Video Edit Magic Express 4.11

Adding Effects

To use an effect, add it to the Timeline.  Effects can be added to either one or both the video tracks.

To add an effect to a video track:

1. Select the effect you wish to add in the Video Effects tab in the Collections window. 
2. Select the track to which you wish to add the Effect. 
3. You may preview the selected Effect in the instant preview by clicking the Play button. 
4. Double click the selected effect to add it to the effect track of the selected video track. 

The chosen effect will be added to the selected effect track at the Seek Slider position.  If the Seek Slider is positioned on or before an existing effect, then the selected effect is added at the end of all the existing effects in the same track, instead of the slider position.  By default, an effect added to the timeline has a duration of one  second, that can be resized to the desired duration.  You can also add an effect by dragging it from the Video Effects list and dropping it on the Timeline, or by selecting an effect from Add Effect to Timeline under the Edit menu.

The default duration of effects (the duration they have when first added to the Timeline) can be changed.  Select Options from the Tools menu and select Source Settings and change the duration of the effect.
