Alpha Glow
The Alpha Glow effect adds color around the edges of a masked alpha channel. You can specify that a single color either fades out or changes to
a second color as it moves away from the edge.
Controls how far the color extends from the alpha channel edge. Higher settings produce larger glows (and can cause very slow processing
before playback or export).
Controls the initial opacity of the glow.
Shows the current glow color. Click the swatch to choose another color.
Lets you add an optional color at the outer edge of the glow.
Specifies whether the colors fade out or stay solid.
Color Emboss
The Color Emboss effect sharpens the edges of objects in the clip but doesn’t suppress any of the clip’s original colors.
Specifies the apparent direction in which the highlight source is shining, in degrees. A setting of 45° causes the shadow to be cast in
the northeast direction.
Specifies the apparent height of the embossing, in pixels. The Relief setting actually controls the maximum width of highlighted edges.
Specifies the sharpness of the clip content’s edges. At lower settings, only distinct edges show the effect. As you increase the setting,
the highlight becomes more extreme.
Adds a percentage of the original source clip to the final result.

the northeast direction.
Specifies the apparent height of the embossing, in pixels. The Relief setting actually controls the maximum width of highlighted edges.
Specifies the sharpness of the clip content’s edges. At lower settings, only distinct edges show the effect. As you increase the setting,
the highlight becomes more extreme.
Adds a percentage of the original source clip to the final result.
