Here I am in the edit page and if I go up to the upper left hand corner under effects library that opens up a panel down here where we can see all of the effects. Now you'd think that if you click on effects that would have the effects that you could actually use on things. What you're probably looking for is actually open effects. And these are things like blurs, like glows, lens flares, things like that, sharpen, that kind of stuff all lives here. Again, a lot of these things are available in the free version. Some of them are limited to the paid version of Resolve. I'm going to try my best just to stick to features that are in the free version of Resolve. So one thing would be gosh and blur. To apply this effect, you can just grab it and drag it onto any clip. Now, if we look up in our viewer, we see things are blurry. If we want this less blurry or we want to change something about this, we do it the same way we always do, which is select whatever we want to change, which is this clip in the timeline and go up to the inspector. But now we have a little tab here called open effects. Click on that. And these are our controls for the blur. So I can change the strength of the blur. I can change what I do with the border and anything that would apply to different ways of adjusting this effect. Again, I can reset everything just by hitting this reset all button. And that's how it works for pretty much every effect. Same thing if I were to grab a glow, put this on a clip, select it, and I can go over to open effects in the inspector and we'll adjust this threshold. And now we have it a lot more glowy. Nice, glowy. To get rid of an effect, just hit the garbage can. You could also turn an effect offer on really quick using the little switch. So that's how open effects work. If you do go to the effects panel under effects, there are two options here. Adjustment clip and fusion composition. We'll get into fusion composition later, but adjustment clip is a really cool tool. Grab it, drag it to the timeline. It doesn't matter where, because you can adjust it later. If you've used an adjustment layer in Photoshop or some other programs, you might be really familiar with how this works. But really what it does is anything that you do to this clip will also apply to everything else. It's kind of like putting a filter like physically over stuff, right? So if I have a blur on this adjustment clip, let's grab one of our open effects, blurs, just say box blur, we'll see that that applies to this adjustment clip and everything under it. And if our adjustment clip isn't over something, it doesn't blur it. So that's a really nice way to group different effects without having to apply it to every single little clip. You can kind of be like, all right, this is where the blur goes. All the clips that are under this adjustment clip get a blur. And you can do that with just about any effect, but that also applies to things like zooms. So you could zoom everything up. It's under this adjustment clip. And again, if the clip isn't over it, it doesn't apply. Very, very powerful tool. Another major thing you probably use are titles here in the effects panel under titles, there's a bunch of presets here. There's also a bunch of fusion titles. Again, these are things that we'll get into later, but think about it this way. Titles are a little bit more simple, kind of generic things that you can adjust in the edit page. And fusion titles take a lot more computer power and are generally a lot more fancy. So if you just want some basic text, you can grab text and drag it over. And here's text. If you select it in the timeline and go over to the inspector, you can adjust things about it. This is basic text. You can adjust the font, color, size, everything like that. It all makes sense. You can even add a drop shadow, which is actually on by default. You just have to kind of move it out of the way so that you can really see it using this offset. And there's a whole bunch of different fancy things you can add to this. It's actually a really powerful little tidler that you can use really quickly in the edit page. So that's basic text. If we grab one of the fusion titles, like title rise fade, that's an animated little title again, a lot more fancy. And it's actually using the power of the fusion page, which again, we'll get into later, but suffice it to say you can select this and adjust a certain number of things here in the inspector and it will apply to the animated graphic. It does take some time and some effort for the system to render. And so if you adjust things like your text and then you try and play it back immediately, it might play back immediately or it might stutter a little bit and it won't play back smoothly until this whole little red bar turns blue, which by default you can just kind of leave your system alone and it will render it while you're not doing anything. So now I can play this back without a problem. So yeah, the Fusion titles, those are fancy and just the regular titles up here are a little bit less fancy. So there's a lot more to go over as far as the edit and cut pages, but those are really the basic things that you need to know to start working. We're going to get more into audio as well as color correction and compositing graphics, things like that in later lessons. But feel free to take a break, open up this media and try and make a little edit. The more that you play around with things, the better off you'll be.",
