-Plugins are layered under the track they apply to. When dragging more than one effect onto a track, you will see the effects layering from \textit{top to bottom}, on the bottom of that track. When the track is played back, effects are processed from \textit{top to bottom}. The output of the top effect becomes the input of the bottom effect and so on. "The pipeline in Cinelerra's\protect\footnote{credit to Original Creator} plugin design is the \textit{pull} method. The rendering pipeline starts at the final output and the final steps in the rendering pipeline are reading the data from disk. Every step in the rendering chain involves requesting data from the previous step. When the rendering pipeline eventually requests data from a plugin chain, each plugin requests data from the plugin before it. This is less intuitive than the push method but is much more powerful. Realtime plugins written using the pull method can change the rate data is presented to the viewer and the direction of playback. The pull method allows plugins to take in data at a higher rate than they send it out." Side note: if you want to avoid the automatic \textit{top to bottom} application of
-plugins, you can take advantage of \textit{nested assets} to manipulate the order the plugins are applied (see
- \ref{sec:nesting_clips_and_assets}).
