# Optics

Use Optics to add a glow effect to the clip in the process tree.

To access the Optics menu, use:

- Timeline, then use ConnectFX (See Creating ConnectFX).

- Tools, then select from the menu.

This node accepts front, back, and matte clips, and outputs a result.

The Optics node processes gaps in clips set to No Media based on the input tabs receiving the information.

Input | Result
--- | ---
Front | No media
Back | Black frames
Matte | No media
