The FX Manager utility provides the user with a set of powerful tools for adding video effects to the clips. Adding effects can bring a special visual characteristic to the clip. You can edit and preview the clip in real time, without waiting for rendering. The strength and position of any applied effects are determined by the values you control.

The same video effect can be applied multiple times to the same clip with different settings.
