Use the editors for greater control of soft effects. Soft effect editors are similar to those found in the full modules. For example, the Axis Editor is similar to Action but allows control of only one layer at a time.

For Axis, Sparks, and Resize, you must process the effect to see the final result in real time. For processing options about the background layer, see Auto Rendering When Entering Soft Effect Editors.

You can access a soft effect editor only after the corresponding soft effect has been applied to an element.

To access a soft effect editor:

1. Select an element on the timeline that has a soft effect applied to it.
2. Do one of the following:
   • Double-click the timeline element.
   • Press ' (tilde) from the EditDesk record timeline.
   • Click the Editor button (E) for the soft effect you want to modify.
