On the right side of the Toolbar, the first four icons make up the Effects controls. These
are special controls providing instant access to the most common effects. Since these
controls apply effects to existing objects, they are not available unless an object is
selected.
The Interface icons on the far right of the Toolbar provide access to the main elements
of the Motion interface. Click any of these icons to show or hide the corresponding
window, tab, or pane.
