when you apply a matrox basic dve, the basic dves page appears:

to set up a basic dve:
1 choose the type of effect you are looking for in the directory. for example, click the pip effects folder under 3d dve effects to display a list of available 3d picture-in-picture effects.
the available pre-created effects are the same as for an advanced dve (see "applying a pre-created advanced dve" on page 81). the basic dves differ in that there are fewer settings that you can change, which allows you to apply two basic dves on a clip in real time.
2 click the particular effect you want from the effect list.
3 to see a preview of your effect at any time, click the preview button.
4 to create a soft edge on the border of your effect, select allow changes, then drag the softness slider. the higher the value, the less sharp the edge of your clip becomes.
5 if you want to apply custom settings to your effect, see "creating a custom basic dve" on page 86.
6 if you want to apply or change various transform settings, such as to change your clip's size, position, and rotation settings, see "transforming your clip" on page 123.
7 when you are satisfied with your effect, click ok to return to your timeline.
