Long clip – effects on parts of it
Hello all,
Just a quick newb question that Im having a hard time with. If I have a 3 hour clip I’ve imported and dropped to the timeline, and I’d like to apply a mask to a couple of 5 sec. segments of the timeline (without cutting the clip), how can I do that? In other words, how can I apply an effect to part of a clip?Thanks for the help!

Do yourself a favour, and invest a little bit of money into Total Training’s training DVD’s they have the absolute best training available for Adobe’s products you will find in this universe of ours.

Use Razor Tool to make a ‘cut’ at in and out point.

Just cut the clip to your length where you want to start the effect (C or shift K)and make the change you want.
I think this forum is for getting help, no recrimination, Derrick…
I have the Total Training and the help wasn’t so much…specially if we are in a hurry looking forward in which disc if the answer…if any! -
Hi there,
Hector I meant my comment in a nice way, this forum is definetly for getting help, for sure. These forums has helped me out many times!
I just meant that if you are new to a adobe product, Total Training can help you get fimiliar with and on top of the software.
Didn’t mean it in any other way.
Thanks,

Most effects are keyframeable. Find the frame where you want the effect to begin, use the back arrow key to move one frame back and apply the effect to the clip and click the “Toggle Annimation” button in the Effects Control Palette. This will set a keyframe of default values which is typically (but not always) no change. Move one frame forward and change the values of the effect. This will create another keyframe with new values. Go to the end of the part you want the effect applied to and click the “Add/remove keyframe” button to set a keyframe of identical value as the previous. Move one frame forward and change the value of the effect back to default, setting a 4th keyframe.
