198 Chapter 8 INTRODUCTION TO EFFECTS Saving Effect Templates After all of this work making the effects just right, you can save them as effects templates so they can easily be applied over and over again. Any effect can be stored in a bin by clicking the effect icon in the upper left corner of the Effects editor, and dragging and dropping the effect icon in the bin. If a bin that holds an effect template is open, that effect will be available in the Effect Palette. The effect template can also be dragged back from the bin and applied to the timeline. When you apply the effect, it looks slightly different from the original effect unless the new clip you apply it to is exactly the same length as the original clip, or you have chosen fixed keyframes for all the parameters. There is a sneaky trick very few people know for applying just part of a template. Using the Effects editor, open a specific parameter. You can drag and drop an effect template directly onto the single parameter. The open effect will take on only the param- eter that came from the template, not the rest of the effect. This is very useful for matching drop shadows or border color and width. This also works with the color-correction mode if you just want to repeat a hue adjustment but nothing else. If the Alt/Option key is held down when dragging the effect icon to a bin, then the effect template is saved with the video (segment effects only). This is an "effect with source" and can be edited into the sequence like a master clip. If you add an effect to a title, then save the effect template for the title always "with source," so you don't need to hold down a modifier key. If you want the title effect template to be just the keyframes alone so the effect can be applied to another title, hold down the Alt/Option key when saving it. Here's how to remember it: Alt/Option drag the effect template for effects gives you an effect and the source clip. Use this like a subclip with an effect attached. Alt/Option drag the title template on titles gives you the title's keyframes and no source. Apply this template to another title to get a similar title move. Add Edits If an effect cannot be manipulated with keyframes, it can be split into sections using the Add Edit button. By splitting one effect into multiple effects, each one can be manipulated separately and then recombined by a dissolve. This is most useful for a color cor- rection that can be used to change a color over time with add edits and dissolves. If you have a camera that moves from exterior light
