The Tools tab provides access to numerous effects and tools allowing you to create modified clips that you can then use as sources on the timeline or in Batch or Batch FX. The tools use input clips (or in some cases are generated from scratch) that are then modified through parameters to produce a result directly in the workspace.
Some tools allow you to set parameters directly in the Tools quick menu, and instantly see a rendered result in the workspace. Other tools have full editors that you enter, allowing you to tweak numerous settings before rendering your result back to the workspace. In either case, new modified clips are created that you can use in your project.
