To access Action from the timeline:
- Select the Timeline tab.
- Do one of the following:
- Click the FX button.
- Right-click on a segment in the timeline and choose Add Effect.
The Effects ribbon appears. Note: Effects that are enabled have already been added to the current Timeline FX pipeline.
- Enable AC (Action).
- You can adjust the effect's settings using the quick menu underneath the Timeline FX pipeline. Click the Editor button if you want to enter the full editor of the effect. Once in a Timeline FX editor, you can choose which range to display on the timebar (Segment, Media, or Timeline) from the Playback Options box. The Playback Options box also has options to display audio waveforms and cue marks.
When adding Timeline FX to stereo clips on the timeline, in some cases (such as with the Colour Warper effect), you are not able to use the quick menu to adjust settings. In this case, simply click the Editor button to enter the full editor.
