# Soft Effect Mini Editor — Widescreen Only

When working in HDTV or film resolution, it is useful to have access to a mini editor for the soft effect to maximize your viewing area, especially to accommodate large formats.

You access the mini editor from the regular or full-screen Player.

To access the soft effect mini editor:

1. Select an element on the timeline that has a soft effect applied to it.
2. Open the full-screen Player.

   The soft effect mini editor appears below the full-screen Player.

   TipPress Ctrl+Esc to display the soft effect's mini editor menu and the full-screen Player.
3. Click the Edit soft effect button (for example, Edit CC) to open the standard soft effect editor menu.
