 Hey guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosel here for today's video. I want to be showing something in Kaden Live that took me personally a little bit of time to discover. I mean editing video in Kaden Live for a number of years now and I really think there is a lot in this software. Even if you're a consider yourself an intermediate video editor, I would definitely call myself perhaps upper beginner. Something I love about Kaden Live video editing is that there's a lot to learn. There's a lot to unpick. So let me just show in this video the various effects and composition stack. Now I don't mean to insult anyone's intelligence with this video but it really did take me a while to actually see that you need to click into these little buttons here in order to actually get the full array of features. Now the way I have this setup is I'm going to just undock my view menu. There is the effects composition stack, effects and composition I've chosen to show all three and I have them as tabs in the middle. This is my own kind of custom viewing profile that I've been working with for a while now in Kaden Live. Now if here's the word, I don't want to use the word misleading, perhaps confusing is a better word. Here's where it gets a little bit confusing, right? The effects composition stack will show you the effects and compositions you apply to a predictor clip. So if I crop into or if I clip this video and I add let's say I can even add a fade and I'm going to move the timeline back a little bit. Now in my effects and composition stack you can see that there's a fade in. So the stack refers to the effects and transitions applied on a predictor clip. Now another one I use all the time is transform. So if I drag and drop the transform composition onto this little few seconds, a few starting seconds of this clip, now there's nothing showing the effects composition stack. But as soon as I select this clip here we're going to be able to see in the effects composition stack transform is going to now be showing up as well. So let's go back to effects here. Now it kind of looks to me or for a while I thought well there's actually not that much in Kdenlive in terms of effects, right? If we undock this and click into audio correction, okay fade in, fade out, very useful gain, very useful mute, useful normal normalize, extremely useful. And you can also by the way apply these not just to clips but to layers. So if you look at audio one here rather than normalizing the audio for this part of the video and this part of the video I'm going to just get rid of them here, take these off. You can actually drag the normalize effect onto audio track one and now we have track a one audio one effect. So you can this is something I do for almost every video I normalize the audio before I upload it to YouTube. So getting back to the effects here, so you might think well there's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven different effects in audio effects and that is not actually correct. If you hover over this you'll see it says main effects. This is not all the effects that there are. These are just the main ones. For example, in audio correction we saw that we have only about seven effects. I don't see compressory there but look what happens when I start typing compressor into the search bar. We actually have a ton of effects and these were nowhere to be seen in the first menu. Compressor left side, mid side, mono, stereo, all different compression plugins for audio. So it's very easy to miss them. The next one here says show all video effects and this will show all the video effects and this will show all the audio effects and they're grouped into different menus here. So if I go into audio now we're going to be seeing those compressor plugins there. The other thing you can have is you can show all custom effects and there's also show favorite items. So this is quite useful if you're using something all the time, let's say normalize. You can right click on it and or let's say mute and click add to favorites and then if it's already on your favorites you can remove it from the favorites and then by clicking on favorites I have the ones I'm using kind of day in and day out. So in summary the first thing you're going to see in the effects tab does not represent all the effects. You can search through it to find all the effects. It's just the top line ones. If you want to actually go into all the video effects you need to click on the video icon, audio effects on the audio icon and in order to make this process a bit quicker you can add items into your favorite. But don't make the mistake I did of clicking into this and saying well that's all the effects in KDN Live. You need to go into these tabs or search in order to find the total number of effects and if we show all audio effects you actually start to see there's actually a lot of different effects in KDN Live. An awful lot. So there's a lot of digging there for those who are looking to do more advanced things for video and if you thought you'd seen all the different effects you probably haven't. There's a lot to play around with and learn in those menus a lot really a lot. Thank you guys for watching. I hope this quick video about KDN Live was useful and to get more videos please subscribe to this YouTube channel.
