Hi All

Here's an easy question that's got me baffled. How do you remove a blending effect once it's in place on a clip?

Thanks for your help

One way is to highlight the blending effects on the lower tracks and drag them to the trash can or just hit the delete key on the keyboard.

Select the effect, if visible, then press delete button or press the trash can button
If not visible, then choose the button "effect", that appears, if a clip with an effect is selected. Select the effect that you want to remove and press the minus-Button below the list.

That works only if he used a blend effect from the fx room. If he used the Tools | Blending Effect, then tomasc has the answer.

I didn't think to check the lower tracks, either! In a complex project, they're well off the screen and I was initially stuck just like The Shadowman was. I actually found a way to remove the effects' placement code from the PDS file, but deleting them from the lower tracks is SOOO much easier!

Do you know that I have only today realised that when you place a blending effect into a clip it is also placed on a lower track.

So thank you all for your help.
