The Sparks controls, if any, appear.
- Choose the processing modes and enter the parameter values as appropriate for the selected Sparks plug-in. These values are
specific to each Sparks plug-in.
- Select the source clips and the destination reel.
The processed clip appears in the destination reel.
To use a Sparks plug-in as a module:
- In the Effects menu, click a loaded Sparks button.
- Select the source clips.
When there is a module for a Sparks plug-in, an E appears on the button.
- Click the E on the Sparks button.
- Select a destination reel.
The Sparks module appears. Use the controls in the Sparks module as you would for other modules.
NoteAn S next to the Sparks button lets you enter the module using the same media from the previous session.
