Many video style effects let you customize their properties, such as the intensity, position, and much more. You can customize a video style effect for the entire duration (clip mode) or customize it using keyframes (keyframe mode).

To modify a video style effect, double click on it in the timeline or select it and then click Modify. To modify a video style effect that is applied to an entire clip, select the clip and then click the Effect button above the timeline.

You can modify video style effects in one of two modes:

•Clip Mode: when the Effect Settings panel first opens, it displays in clip mode. Any changes you make to the effect's settings are applied for the entire duration of the effect. Use the available sliders and options to customize the video style effect to your preference.

•Keyframe Mode*: some effects utilize keyframes to customize an effect's settings. Keyframes are frames of your video that define the start and end points of an effect, for example the intensity of an effect between two keyframes. To customize an effect in keyframe mode, click the Keyframe button in the Effect Settings panel. See Utilizing Keyframes on Media for detailed information on using keyframes to customize effects in your production.
