Video Effects

• Crop your videos to eliminate unwanted backgrounds.
• Rotate your video clips and zoom in on the action
• Fine-tune color, temperature, and other visual effects.
• Add special effects such as sepia to make your video look like an old film or black and white to make your video grayscale
• Use transitions to seamlessly play multiple clips together
• Add video effects plugins to step up your special effects game

Change Video Playback Speed

Speed up video or apply slow motion to make sequences easier to view or to add a fun effect. Reversing playback is just as easy.

To speed up or slow down a video clip, select the clip, then choose the Speed effect. This gives you the speed change options where you can adjust the speed using the slider. Anything below 100 will slow down the clip, anything above 100 will speed it up.

Video Stabilization

Video stabilization is a simple solution for steadying "shaky" video clips, eliminating camera shakiness that can come from panning, rotating, zooming, or handheld shooting by applying a deshaker filter.

To apply video stabilization, right click on your video clip in the Media List and select "Stabilize video(s)." Then select a location to save the new stabilized video clip.

Chroma Key

Also known as green screen video editing, you can use chroma key transparency to overlay two video clips or images together and seamlessly integrate talent into separate backdrops and videos.
