Grass Valley Aurora Edit v.7.0 - Manual (Page 192)

Other ways to add a video effect to the Timeline
There are several ways to add a blank effect to the Timeline.
• Highlight the clip(s) for the effect and click Add Effect or Shift + 8 .
You can automatically create a Resize effect by selecting overlapping clips on
the two video tracks and clicking
Add Effect .
Aurora Edit places the effect on the effects track with the same duration as the
selected clip(s) and sets the correct track for the effect. For example, if you select
a clip on Video Track 1 and add an effect, V1 is automatically designated as the
track that receives the effect.
• Mark In and Out points on the Timeline to set the effect duration and click Add
Effect .
The effect appears on the Timeline at the location and with the duration set by
the mark points. If you mark an In point or an Out point but not both, you must
enter an effect duration in the pop-up window and click
OK . The Mark Point
you set marks either the beginning of the effect (if you marked an In point) or
the end of the effect (if you marked an Out point).
• Right-click on the Timeline, choose Add Effect, enter the effect duration (the default
is 1 second) and click OK .
The effect appears on the Timeline at the pointer location.
Changing the duration of a video effect
You can change the duration of the video effect using the Extend Edit feature.
1. To lengthen or shorten an effect, select the effect on the Timeline.
2. Place the pointer where you want the effect to end or begin.
3. Press V on the keyboard.
The effect duration moves to the new pointer position, thereby lengthening or
shortening the effect.
Using saved effects in your sequence
Aurora Edit provides a number of preconfigured effects that you can add to your
sequence and modify to suit your needs.
You must have the complete Aurora Edit Effects Package to use all of these effects.
If you don’t have the package you can still use the effects Dip to Black and White,
Fade from Black, and Fade to Black.
