Add Video Effects

Video Effects can also be added to your movie. A video effect applies to the picture itself rather than the change from one picture to another as in a transition.

Choose View video effects under the Edit Movie section and drag the chosen effect to the star in the lower left corner of the picture.

Preview your movie to see the effects.

Continue to add effects to other pictures if desired.

Save the file.
