  disable effect

  Posted by Logan Kelsey on June 9, 2005 at 2:50 am

  I’ve added a timecode reader effect to an edit for client review. Now I can figure out how to disable that filter. Any tips?

  TIA

  Cheers,

  Remove it by highlighting it’s name in the Filters tab of the clip or nest in the Viewer (option click a nest to open it in the viewer, double click a clip in the timeline to do the same), and tap on the old delete key… or just turn it off by unchecking that little blue box there next to it’s name.

  Great, thanks for that — I’m fairly new to FCP. Been on Media100 and Avid for years. Still getting to know my way around.

  [Logan Kelsey] “Any tips?”

  A great way to save these little “problems” is (when you know you’re going to want different VERSIONS of the same timeline (some with THIS, some with THAT, some CLEAN)… is just to DUPLICATE (option-D) a timeline in the Browser and rename it.

  Then you can keep (one or several copies of ) your original edit, and add “extra effects” to different copies.

  I also do this frequently on an everyday basis as I progress into a complex edit.
  (I add the “tags” .v1, .v2, .v3, etc. to my Timeline name as I go along in the day.)
  That way, if I “start down a path” that just doesn’t “work out”, its easy to revert to a former “good” edit (make ANOTHER copy of IT) and try another approach.

  And just as a HABIT… I hit SAVE (apple-S) about 20 times an hour… you can’t be too careful!

  BTW, I started doing this on Avid years ago and its saved me a lot of problems.
