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.
Ellipse effect (Windows only)
The Ellipse effect draws an ellipse.

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.
