By default, we provide a series of smoke, fire, and HazMat effects to get you going quickly. These are retained in your Effects Library, displayed when you select a CS Effects token on the Stage and open the Component Inspector panel (Window > Component Inspector). In the illustration below, you see your Effects Library as a series of folders.
 |
If you click on the sideways triangle next to a folder name, the folder will expand to show you the possible effects in that folder. We have organized the effects into a basic structure, but you can rename effects and folders to suit your needs. The effects are listed in each folder in alphabetic order. You apply an effect by clicking on the effect name, as illustrated here:

By clicking on an effect name, the system sets the effect to that effect. The preview panel shows you a glimpse of what that effect looks like.
Note: when you change the effect in the preview panel, it changes the effect in your movie. You cannot go back to the effect you were viewing previously unless you saved it in your Library. As you will see in later sections, you can create your own effects and add them to your Effects Library. Your Effects Library is only accessible on your current computer (the one with CS Fire Instructor Edition installed). Your Effects Library is not accessible from other computers. However, you can use the SHARE feature to transfer effects from one computer to another.
