 Pre-Made Video Transitions and Effects

Effects Browser presets

This is the most powerful and visual way to access presets and is where HUNDREDS of presets are located. See the steps above on how to open a large Effects Browser window to visually choose/compare from hundreds pre-made presets. The Effects Browser is shown below.
To explore presets, click a folder in the left pane, then click a thumbnail image to see animated preview. Double-click to apply.

Handy tips while working within the Effects Browser:
• To scroll through presets in a folder while keeping your eye on the top preview image for comparison, hold the mouse pointer over the right panel then use arrow keys or the mouse wheel.
• To increase/decrease the thumbnail image size, use the Size button at the bottom of the Effects Browser.
• To copy a favorite preset into the My Favorites folder located atop the left column of preset folders, right-click any preset image and choose Copy to My Favorites. To copy the preset into a subfolder within that folder (such as if you want to organize presets per project or per client), right-click the preset and choose Copy to My Favorites >> [new subfolder]. You can then name the subfolder as desired. After the subfolder is created, it will also appear in the right-click menu.
• To rename a preset that is in the My Favorites folder, right-click the preset there and choose Rename this preset. To remove a My Favorites preset, right-click and choose Delete this preset.
• To hide any preset, right-click the preset and choose Hide this preset. To show all hidden presets in a folder, right-click any preset in that folder and choose Restore all hidden presets from this folder. To temporarily view the folder's hidden presets, which can be handy if you just want to momentarily browse them, choose Temporarily show hidden presets.
• To toggle between viewing the source file image and the selected preset, click the top large preview image in the Effects Browser.
Effects Browser
Time-saving tips to load presets faster:
The Effects Browser is fast, but sometimes you may already know which preset you want to use, such as when you are applying the same preset repeatedly in a project. In that situation, selecting a preset by one of the following methods can be faster... To see recently chosen Effects Browser presets hold the Ctrl key and follow the steps to open the Effects Browser window. For a drop-down menu of Effects Browser presets, hold Ctrl+Shift keys and follow the steps to open the Effects Browser window.

 Easy SpiceMaster -- Working with Spices

In SpiceMaster, you can easily combine presets (pre-made border, shadow, softness, etc.) with hundreds of pre-made transition geometries (Spices) and get thousands of compelling new video transitions.
To select a spice immediately after selecting a preset, select (click on) preset icon in Effects Browser and then click Select Spice and Open button.
To change the selected spice at any time, hold the Shift key and follow the steps to open the Effects Browser window.
To save a custom Easy SpiceMaster transition (preset+spice), use the usual way to save a transition template in Movie Edit Pro and Video Pro.

Spice Library

SpiceMaster's Spice Library

Spice Library presets

Each 'spice' is a specially-designed grayscale map that guides SpiceMaster. SpiceMaster uses the brightness of the pixels (in the spice file's image, not your content), to control the transition's shape and direction. It's simple in concept but incredibly flexible and organic in its creative possibilities compared to the usual hard-edged, limited-adjustment, standard algorithmic effects.
Click a subfolder in the Library's left pane, as shown below. Thumbnail-size previews of available spices will then play in the right pane so you can visually compare and choose the best effect design for your segment.
Double-click a thumbnail in the Library's right pane to select the effect and close the Library.
