# Hard Committing Specific Soft Effects

You can selectively commit soft effects. Soft effects are committed in the following order:

- Axis
- Wipe
- Sparks
- CC
- TW
- Blend
- Resize
- Text

You can commit soft effects at the bottom of the list without committing soft effects above it. For example, if you have a segment with an Axis and a Colour Correction soft effect, and you commit the segment while the CC soft effect button is enabled, only the Colour Correction is committed.

You can commit the Resize soft effect without committing the Timewarp soft effect.

To selectively commit soft effects:

1. Select the element you want to commit.
2. Lock the soft effect button for the topmost effect you want to commit.
3. Select Commit FX from the Effect Operations box.
