Grass Valley Aurora Edit LD v.7.0 - Manual (Page 165)

You save effects the same way you save clips and sequences — in a bin. You can
retrieve a saved effect and drag it onto a Timeline in another sequence. When you
save a video effect, the effect characteristics such as its duration and keyframes are
saved with it.
1. Click the Save button in the Effect box in the Video Effects Tool.
2. Select a bin for the effect and enter a name.
3. Click Save .
Rendering video effects
Video effects on the Timeline need to be rendered before sending them to another
Aurora Edit workstation or server. Aurora Edit automatically renders effects before
sending a sequence, but you can manually render effects in the Timeline.
All unrendered transitions that reside under real-time effects appear as straight cuts
until the transition is rendered. Field interpolated slow-motion also becomes
frame-based until rendered.
1. Select the effect to render.
2. Render the effect using one of the following methods:
• Click the Render Effects button in the Main Toolbar.
• Render all video effects at the same time by clicking the Render Al l button.
Layering video effects
Aurora Edit allows you to apply more than one effect to a clip. You can mix down an
effect into the video clip below it and then add another effect on the FX track that
affects the same clip.
Mix Down modifies the video clip (or clips) in which the effect occurs. For example,
if the effect was on V2, the effect collapses into V2. If both video tracks are being
affected, the effect collapses onto V1.
1. Select the effect.
2. Mix down the effect using one of these methods:
• Click the Mix Down button on the main toolbar.
• Right-click on the effect and select Mix Down Selected .
A progress bar indicates rendering status.
Once an effect is rendered, it is removed from the FX track and becomes part of the
video clip below it. A new master clip is also created and saved in the Rendered Clips
bin.
