Effects are non-destructive adjustments you layer onto a clip — color grades, blur, vignette, crop, and keying. The source stays untouched, so you can tweak, disable, or remove any effect at any time.

​
Where effects live

Select a video or image clip and open the inspector’s Properties tab. Effects are spread across sub-tabs so the everyday adjustments stay one click away:
  • Effects — the stackable rack: Brightness, Temperature, Tint, Curves, Sharpen, Vignette, and Crop.
  • Color — Exposure, Contrast, and Saturation as always-present sliders.
  • Transform — Blur, next to scale, position, and rotation.
  • Compositing — Chroma Key, alongside opacity and blend modes.

​
Working the effects rack

On the Effects sub-tab, pick an effect from the dropdown at the bottom and press Add. Each effect appears as a card with its parameters below it:
  • Toggle — the On / Off button bypasses the effect without losing its settings, handy for before/after comparisons.
  • Remove — the ✕ button deletes the effect from the clip.
  • Stack — add as many effects as you like; they apply in the order they were added, top to bottom.
Every effect at its default value is a no-op, so adding one never changes the picture until you move a slider.

The effect families

Dissolves, dips, and wipes across the cut between clips.
Blur, opacity, and volume can be keyframed — set values at two points in time from the inspector and Flowy animates between them.
