Using a Sparks Plug-in
 
 
 

A Sparks plug-in functions in the same way as other commands or modules. Some Sparks are designed to be used on the Desktop or as a module.

  1. In the Effects menu, click a loaded Sparks button.

    The Sparks controls, if any, appear.

  2. 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.
  3. 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:

  1. In the Effects menu, click a loaded Sparks button.

    When there is a module for a Sparks plug-in, an E appears on the button.
