12 Compositing and Special Effects
You can use Final Cut Pro to add many effects to video and audio, and to create unique
composite effects by altering the layers of video.
Locating and Applying Effects
You can locate and apply effects in the following ways:
m Select them from the Browser’s Effects tab and drag them onto clips.
m Select a clip and then choose an effect from the Effects menu.
m Use the Motion tab in a clip’s Viewer window to turn on and set the motion effects.
m Select a saved motion from the Favorites folder in the Effects tab of the Browser.
The motion effects that you set from the Motion tab are not available in the Effects menu.
Note: You can open a Viewer window for a previously applied effect by double-clicking the
Timeline’s filter and motion bar in the clip where the effect was applied.

There are three Effects tabs. You can turn an effect on or off using the triangle next to its
name.

The Motion Tab
Use the Motion tab to work with the basic motion effects that are applied to every clip by
default.
