Effect Stack
The Effects Stack view enables you to visualise and manipulate the attributes of layers and audio clips. For both visual and audio layers, various effects can be applied using the Effect Stack view. Each effect will have a dropdown menu to display all the attributes associated with that effect or transformation. These effects can be applied in a non destructive fashion either by adjusting the local values or by applying keyframes.
The left side of the Effect Stack view contains the list of attributes that are being applied to your Storyboard Pro scene.
The Right side of the view is the timeline where you can apply and manage your keyed effects.
