and make sure that the background image is not black.
Horizontal/Vertical Image Pans Create animations in which the entire image moves left and right or up and down as
the video plays. For example, an L-R horizontal pan moves the image from left to right.
Horizontal/Vertical Image Zooms Create animated zoom effects.
Mosaics, Solarizes, and Twirls Create animated effects that either decrease in intensity from the beginning of the clip
or increase in intensity as the clip ends.
PiPs Create Picture-in-Picture effects by scaling the target clip so that you can superimpose it onto a full-sized clip.
You can also apply this effect to several clips in order to create a montage.
Note: For descriptions of the effects used in the presets, search for the effect name in Help.
Apply an effect preset
If you apply a preset to a clip, and the preset contains properties for an effect that is already applied to the clip, the clip
is modified using the following rules:
• If the effect preset contains a fixed effect (Image Control, Motion, Opacity, or Volume), applying the preset replaces
the existing effect properties.
• If the effect preset contains a standard (non-fixed) effect, the effect is added to the bottom of the list of effects.
1 Click Edit in the Tasks panel, and then click Effects .

3 To preview the effect, click the Play button in the Monitor panel.

Scale Scales the source keyframes proportionally to the length of the target clip. This action deletes any existing
keyframes on the target clip.
Anchor To In Point Positions the preset’s first keyframe at the same distance from the target clip’s In point as it was
from the original clip’s In point. For example, if the first keyframe was 1 second from the In point of the source clip
