About Effects

Every clip you add to the Timeline window has Fixed effects pre-applied, or built-in. Fixed effects control the inherent properties of a clip and appear in the Effect Controls window whenever a clip is selected. The Fixed effects include:

Motion--The Motion effect includes properties that allow you to animate, rotate, and scale your clips or composite them with other clips.

Opacity--The Opacity effect allows you to create fades and dissolves for special effects or transitions.

Volume--The Volume effect controls the volume for all clips that contain audio.
