Effects and transitions

Last updated 11/6/2011

Matching color produces subtle result (center); using red with high Width and low Height settings (right) creates striped result.

Anchor

The point of origin of the checkerboard pattern. Moving this point offsets the pattern.

Size From

How the dimensions of the rectangles are determined:

Corner Point

Each rectangle’s dimensions are those of the rectangle with opposite corners defined by the Anchor

and Corner points.

Width Slider

A rectangle’s height and width are equal to the Width value, meaning the rectangles are squares.

Width & Height Sliders

A rectangle’s height is equal to the Height value. A rectangle’s width is equal to the Width

value.

Feather

Thickness of the edge feather within the checkerboard pattern.

Color

The color of the non-transparent rectangles.

Opacity

The opacity of the colored rectangles.

Blending Mode

The blending mode to use to composite the checkerboard pattern on top of the original clip. The

default None mode renders the checkerboard pattern only.

Circle effect

The Circle effect creates either a customizable solid circle or ring.

Edge

None creates a solid disk. The other options all create rings. Each option corresponds to a different set of

properties that determine the shape and edge treatment of the ring:

Edge Radius

The difference between the Edge Radius property and the Radius property is the thickness of the ring.

Thickness

The Thickness property sets the ring’s thickness.

Thickness * Radius

The product of the Thickness property and the Radius property is the ring’s thickness.

Thickness & Feather * Radius

The product of the Thickness property and the Radius property is the ring’s

thickness. The product of the Feather property and the Radius property is the ring’s feather.

Feather

The thickness of the feather.

Invert Circle

Inverts the matte.

Blending Mode

The blending mode used to combine the shape and the original clip. The default None displays only

the shape, without the original clip.

Eyedropper Fill effect

The Eyedropper Fill effect applies a sampled color to the source clip. This effect is useful for quickly picking a solid
color from a sample point on the original clip or picking a color value from one clip and using blending modes to apply
this color to a second clip.
