Effects

Video Effects

Adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, hue, and blur on any visual clip.

Per-clip adjustments on any visual clip type (video, image, text, shape). GPU-composited and keyframeable.

Video effects

Select a visual clip and open the Effects tab in the properties panel.

Available effects

Brightness

Range: 0% to 300% (default 100%)
Below 100% darkens, above 100% brightens.

Contrast

Range: 0% to 300% (default 100%)
Lower = flatter image, higher = more dynamic range.

Saturation

Range: 0% to 300% (default 100%)
0% = grayscale. Above 100% = more vivid.

Hue Rotate

Range: 0 to 360 degrees (default 0)
Shifts all colors around the color wheel.

Blur

Range: 0 px+ (default 0)
Gaussian blur. Good for background defocus.

Keyframing effects

All effect properties support keyframes. Example: animate blur from 0 to 20 over 0.5s for a focus-pull.

Effects vs. color grading

These are basic global adjustments. For per-channel curves, LUTs, color isolation, or regional masking, use color grading. Both work on the same clip.

Transitions

Add entrance, exit, and cross-dissolve transitions between clips.

Audio Effects

Apply EQ, compression, noise gate, and reverb to audio clips in Tooscut.
