CHAPTER 7: EFFECTS AND TRANSITIONS ■

Crop values range from 0 to 999, where 0 is no cropping, and 999 crops the

entire image. The Crop parameters are T, B, L, and R.

T Top of the image

B Bottom of the image

L Left side of the image

R Right side of the image

Cropping can be an exacting task, and the parameter sliders aren’t always as

precise as you might want them to be. To move the sliders in smaller increments, use

Shift-Ctrl/Shift-F when clicking and moving the sliders.

Saving Effect Templates

Every good editor has an arsenal of effects that they have saved and can drop into their

sequence. After you create an effect with elaborate keyframes and parameters, you can

save the effect as a template to be applied to other segments and Timelines. To save an

effect template, do the following:

1. Create a new bin for the template. This is optional, of course, but is a good idea

from an organizational standpoint.

2. In the Effect Editor, drag the Effect icon from the top-right corner of the window

into the bin. This saves the effect.

After you save all your keyframes and effect parameters and dragged the effect

template into the bin, you should name it. By default, the template is given the name

of the type of effect; for example, Picture In Picture or Dip To Black. Give it a descrip-

tive name.

In addition to the listing of templates in your bin, the name of any bin that con-

tains effect templates is listed at the bottom of the Effect palette, giving you direct

access to your custom effects from within the Effects palette.

Applying Effect Templates from a Bin

To maintain effects continuity, you can apply an effect template directly from a bin to

your Timeline. You can also apply a template directly from the Effect palette, much as

you would any other standard effect in Xpress Pro.

To apply an effect template from a bin, follow these steps:

1. Drag the effect template from the bin to the segment or transition in the Time-

line where it is to be applied.

2. As you drag the template into the Timeline, note that each segment and transi-

tion that it passes over is highlighted.

3. When you find the correct location in the Timeline, release the mouse. The effect

is applied.
