Importing video effects – Grass Valley Aurora Edit v.7.0 User Manual
Page 193
The preconfigured effects are stored in an Effects Bin, and include these effects—Dip
to Black and White, Dip to Color, Fades, Flash Dissolve, Spotlight, and White Flash.
Saving effects saves their duration, but the duration of an effect you place on the
Timeline depends upon on the way you add the effect to your sequence.
Select one of these methods to add a saved effect to your sequence:
•
Drag and drop the saved effect onto the Timeline — the effect duration is exactly
as it was when saved and the keyframes are in the same positions.
•
Highlight the clip(s) for the effect and drag the saved effect onto the Timeline
— the effect duration and keyframes adjust to match the duration of the selected
clip(s).
•
Mark In and Out points on the Timeline to define the effect duration and then
drag a saved effect onto the Timeline — the effect duration and keyframes
adjust to fit the duration between the mark points.
•
Click
Open
, select the effect, and click
Open
— the duration follows the above
guidelines based on whether you select mark points or a clip for the effect.
Once you have the effect on the Timeline, you can use the Video Effects Tool to
modify the effect.

You can use effects that are located on another Aurora Edit workstation, another
computer, a network server, or a diskette, by importing them into your Aurora Edit
sequence.
You can only import effects with a .vef suffix. You can import effects to the Bin or
directly to the Timeline, depending on which window has focus.
