Fill Color Specifies the background color.
Fill Alpha Channel Makes the background transparent so that underlying tracks are visible. In the Effect Controls
panel, click Setup to access this option.
Magnify effect
The Magnify effect enlarges all or part of an image. This effect can act like a magnifying glass placed over an area of
the image, or you can use it to scale the entire image far beyond 100% while maintaining resolution.
Original image (left), and with variations of effect applied (center and right)
Shape The shape of the magnified area.
Center The center point of the magnified area.
Magnification Percentage by which to scale the magnified area.
Link How the size and edge feathering of the magnified area are affected by the Magnification setting. Setting Link to
any value other than None disables the Resize Layer option.
• None The size and edge feathering of the magnified area don’t depend on the Magnification setting.
• Size To Magnification The radius of the magnified area is equal to the Magnification value (a percentage) times the
Size value.
• Size & Feather To Magnification The radius of the magnified area is equal to the Magnification value (a percentage)
times the Size value. The thickness of the edge feather is equal to the Magnification value times the Feather value.
Size The radius of the magnified area, in pixels.
Feather The amount of edge feather, in pixels.
Opacity The opacity of the magnified area, as a percentage of the opacity of the original clip.
Scaling The type of scaling used to magnify the image:
• Standard This method maintains sharpness in the image but produces pixelated edges at higher values.
• Soft Uses spline algorithms. If you scale the image beyond 100%, Soft reduces edge pixilation and maintains image
quality. Soft works well at large magnification amounts.
• Scatter Creates scatter or noise in the image as the image enlarges.
Blending Mode The blending mode used to combine the magnified area with the original clip. The None option
displays transparent pixels around the magnified area.
Resize Layer If Resize Layer is selected, the magnified area can extend beyond the original clip’s boundaries.
Mirror effect
The Mirror effect splits the image along a line and reflects one side onto the other.
Reflection Center The position of the line about which the reflection occurs.
