58 Chapter 7 Using Special Effects
Applying an Effect to Part of a Clip or Multiple Clips
You can apply video effects to multiple clips or to parts of clips, rather than to the
whole clip.
To apply an effect to part of a clip, you must first select a frame range, or a portion of
the frames within the clip. (You can also select a frame range across a series of
contiguous clips in the clip viewer.)
To select a frame range:
1 Select the clip or series of clips that include the frames that you want to edit.
Hold down the Shift key to select more than one clip.
2 Drag the crop markers below the scrubber bar to select the frames to which you want
to apply an effect.
The selected frame range is yellow in the scrubber bar.
3 Add motion or video effects as you would to a clip, as described above.
You can hold down the Command key to select discontiguous clips. Then apply the
same effect to all the selected clips.
