Changing the Order of Effects
In a track with more than one effect, you can change the order (precedence) of an
effect by dragging it vertically. If the effect has timing information, its position in the
new track may be adjusted.
To change the order an effect:
m
Drag the effect up or down within the track.
The order of the effects has now been changed.
Duplicating Effects and Tracks
You can easily duplicate effects and tracks, including duplicating an effect from one
track to another.
To duplicate an effect or track:
In the Timeline, Option-drag an effect or track to the new location or track. Holding
down the Option key while dragging an effect makes a copy of the effect in a new
effects track.
Modifying a Preset Effect
In addition to adjusting the timing parameters of an effect, you can change what the
effect actually does; that is, how it transforms the track it’s applied to.
Altering an effect used in your project does not alter the original preset effect. Once
you have applied the effect, you are free to adjust it, and the changes you make are
saved as part of your project.
