It is time to move from special effects, such as fire, smoke, and water that we can add to the scene and move towards effects that we can apply in both the Movie and Photo modes. We are not going to cover the different effects available in both these modes. Instead, the goal of this recipe is to give you an overview of how general effects work, how you can stack them in either the Movie or Photo mode, and how you can control them.
For this tutorial, you will need to have some clips in the Movie mode so that you will be able to test this recipe properly.
Let's start by adding some effects; this can be done by performing the following steps:
From the right-hand side of the screen, select the Photo mode.
Click on the New effect button.
Add some effects to your image. It doesn't need to be anything in particular because we are going to focus on another feature, but you can add the Sun study, Shadow, and Global Illumination...
