These effects add special characteristics to your image or audio, or correct a deficiency, such as low light in video clips or hiss in audio clips.</p><p class="paragraph">You can also use the <span class="Emphasis">fixed effects</span> Motion, Opacity, and Volume. Adobe Premiere Elements automatically applies these fixed effects to every clip in the Timeline window, and you can't delete them or reorder them. Fixed effects don't alter the clip until you change their settings in the Effect Controls window. The Motion effect lets you animate, rotate, and scale your clips. The Opacity effect lets you create fades and dissolves for special effects or transitions. The Volume effect lets you control the volume for all audio clips.</p><p class="paragraph">For more information about the fixed effects, see <a href="1_7_17_0.html">Adjusting opacity</a>, <a href="1_6_7_4.html">Changing the volume of audio clips</a>, and <a href="1_7_6_0.html">Adjusting position, scale, rotation, and anchor point</a>.</p></ol><hr /><div class="breadcrumbs"><a href="1_7_1_0.html" title="About working with effects">Previous</a> | <a href="1_7_1_2.html" title="Using effects from other products">Next</a> | <a href="#top">Top</a> | <a href="1_7_0_0.html">Applying Effects and Transitions</a> > <a href="1_7_1_0.html">About working with effects</a></div></td></tr></table>
