Adding Video Effects
14 Open the Effect Controls panel menu, and choose Remove Effects. Click OK in
the dialog box that pops up asking which effects you want to remove. You want
to remove them all.
This is an easy way to start fresh.
15 Choose Video Effects > Distort, and select the Spherize effect. Drag it to the
Effect Controls panel, and click its disclosure triangles to display its parameters.
Like the Motion fixed effect above it in the Effect Controls panel, Spherize
has a Transform button that lets you directly control its location in the
Program Monitor.
16 Move the Radius slider to about 170 so you can see the effect in the Program
Monitor.
17 Click the word
Spherize (the name of the effect) in the Effect Controls panel to
switch on its Transform control crosshair in the Program Monitor, and drag the
effect around in that screen.
18 Delete Spherize, and choose Video Effects > Distort >Wave Warp. Drag the
Wave Warp effect to the Effect Controls panel, and click its six disclosure
triangles to display its eight parameters.
19 Make various selections from each of the three menus; then adjust some of the
other parameters.
#
Note: Wave Warp
has three menus. These
are specific effect
conditions that do not
have numeric values
associated with them,
but even these can be
keyframes; that is, you
can switch from one
discrete condition to
another at any time in
the clip’s duration.
