Review answers

1 Curative eff ects are eff ects that improve one or more aspects of a clip, such as

exposure, backlighting, or excessive shakiness. You should apply curative eff ects to a

clip before applying artistic and other eff ects.

2 After selecting the clip that contains the eff ect or eff ects that you wish to copy, click

an eff ect to select it in the Properties panel, or Shift-click to select multiple eff ects.

Copy your selection by choosing Edit > Copy.  en select the clip to which you wish to

transfer the eff ects and choose Edit > Paste.

3 Fixed eff ects are the Property parameters that every clip in Adobe Premiere Elements

has enabled by default.  ese eff ects are Motion, Opacity, and Volume. Within the

Motion eff ect, Scale, Position, Rotation, and Anchor Point are all properties that can

be adjusted to create, for example, a PiP eff ect.

4 A keyframe contains the values for all the controls in the eff ect and applies those values

to the clip at the specifi c time.

5 Once keyframes have been added to a clip, they can be adjusted by clicking and

dragging them along the connector line. If there are two keyframes, moving one

keyframe farther away from the other extends the duration of the eff ect; moving a

keyframe closer to another keyframe shortens the eff ect.
