# Using effects

# Effect Library

Effect Library is a place where all available audio and video effects are stored. The library shows either audio or video effects depending on which button (Show video effects or Show audio effects) in its upper left corner is activated. Once you choose audio or video effects you can further sort them by choosing one of the categories from the drop down list next to the two buttons. By default, the list is set to show all effects.

Alternatively, you can use the Search Bar that is shown at the top of the Effect Library. Typing into the search entry filters the contents of the Effect Library to show only effects whose name or description match your search terms. To reset the search entry, click the Clear icon in the search entry.

# Configuring effects

To configure an effect, simply select it in the middle pane Clip configuration Effects. Variables that can be adjusted will appear in the lower part of the Clip configuration tab. Each variable can be put back to it's original value by clicking the corresponding Reset to default value button.

# Animating effects with keyframes

Most effect variables can be controlled with keyframes. In order to access the keyframes, click the Show keyframes for this value button next to the variable you want to control. On the selected clip you will see a keyframe curve that belongs to the variable. You can now edit the keyframes to achieve the desired effect. Once you are done with editing, you can click the button again and the keyframe curve disappears from the clip. However, the effect variable is still controlled by the adjusted keyframe curve (which is indicated by the filled shape on the button). To revert the keyframe curve to the default flat state, use the Reset to default value button. For more information on how to use keyframes see the Keyframe curves page.

If there is no Show keyframes for this value button next to the effect variable, it can not be controlled with keyframes.
