Web Extra: An MPEG clip demonstrates how FX-supplied effects can be user-customized in unique ways.

The EFX digital editing and effects environment integrates facilities for nonlinear editing of digitized fild, video, and audio with sophisticated image-manipulating special effects. EFX offers an intuitive, visual, direct-manipulation user interface for building multimedia compositions. This front end, discussed here, is coupled with a powerful parallel-processing computer that computes the special effects and plays back the uncompressed digitized film or video in real time.
