User interface

Creating effects
The application helps you work with various transformations, filters and masks in order to edit media files, and generate static effects or animate the effect’s parameters using keyframes.What’s more, you can add audio files for performing sync options, check out waveforms in the timeline, quickly preview and apply settings from the built-in library browser, render effects, make use of motion effects (corner pin tracker, motion stabilizer, motion tracker), define spline objects, and map text onto 3D objects such as cylinders, spheres and cubes. As good as the tool is when it comes to delivering excellent output quality, you should know that it is not that friendly with system resources so you need a powerful computer to run it.
