\section{How to Use Plugins}%
\label{sec:how_use_plugins}
-\textit{Realtime} effect plugins are listed in the Resources window as \textit{Audio} Effects and \textit{Video} Effects. Effect plugins are used by dragging them from the Resources window onto an audio track if it is an audio effect or video track if it is a video effect. You will see a colored bar \index{plugins!toolbar} appear beneath the track with the plugin name on it. If there is data on the destination track, the effect is applied to the entire track, unless a edit or a region of the track is selected in which case the effect is pasted into that region only. If there is no data on the track the effect is not added.

If there is no data on the track or no selected region set, the effect is not added.
-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.
+Plugins are layered under the track they apply to. When dragging more than one effect onto an armed 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}).
-Instead of dragging from the Resources window, effects may be applied to a track via a popup menu. Right click on a track and select \textit{Attach effect} \index{plugins!attch effect} from the popup. The attach effect dialog gives you more capability than just dragging and dropping. For example, the attach effect dialog lets you attach two more types of effects: \textit{shared effects} and \textit{shared tracks} which are explained in a later section. Select a plugin from the Plugins column and hit the green colored checkmark under the plugins column to attach it. The result is the same as if the effect was dragged from the Resources window.
+Instead of dragging from the Resources window, effects may be applied to a single armed track or a region via a popup menu. On the entire track or on a region determined by a selection wipe or by the In/Out points, right click and select \textit{Attach effect} \index{plugins!attch effect} from the popup.

+One more method to apply an effect on all armed tracks of the same type (video or audio) is to use the \textit{Video} or \textit{Audio} pulldown \textit{Attach Effect} option. This brings up a menu which has a useful checkbox to \textit{Attach single standalone and share others} (see \ref{sec:shared_effect_tracks}). The default setting is checked on.
After attaching an effect to a track, it often needs to be configured. There are two ways to get to the configuration controls. Click on the magnifying glass \index{plugins!show controls} symbol on the right side of the effect bar -- this is the middle symbol on the bar as you can see in the picture below. Alternatively, you can right click on the effect bar to bring up the effect popup which has a \textit{Show} option. Either method causes the GUI for the effect to appear in a separate window. There will not be a popup if the plugin has no GUI.
varying the framerate. It is important to understand that the
plugin works by varying the frames, the possible change of
\textit{fps} is only a side effect of the creation of new frames due

+to interpolation. The interpolation algorithm is simply the slope of a linear curve. This plugin is keyframable and the \textit{Interpolate} option works between keyframes. A simpler and more handy version is the \textit{Speed PerCent} plugin.
\subsubsection*{Stretch}%
\label{ssub:stretch}
\textit{Example:} you have a clip that you want to put in slow motion. The clip starts at $33.792\, seconds$ and ends at $39.765$. The clip is $5.973\, seconds$ long. You want to play it at $\frac{4}{10}^{ths}$ normal speed. You divide the clip length by the playback speed ($5.973\div0.4$) to get a final clip length of $14.9325\,seconds$. You create an in point at the start of your clip: $33.792\,seconds$. You put an out point $14.9325\,seconds$ later, at $48.7245\,seconds$ ($33.792 + 14.9325$). You attach a \texttt{ReframeRT} effect, set it to $0.4$ and stretch. You change the out point at $48.7245$ to an in point. You start your next clip after the slow motion effect at the $48.7245$ out point. You can do this without making any calculations by first applying the effect and then lengthening or shortening the bar to where the stretched movie ends.
-Now in the timeline we have the affected part of the plugin where we see the slow/fast effect, and the continuation of the timeline from where the plugin ends. We then have to select the interval on which the plugin acts and render it or transform it into a nested clip or nested asset. In this way we can replace or overlap it with the part of the timeline that originally included all of the part we wanted to slow down/speed up.

See also the \textit{Reframe} render effect for direct rendering.
\subsubsection*{Downsample}%
\label{ssub:downsample}
\begin{itemize}
\item ReframeRT uses the fps indicated in \texttt{Settings $\rightarrow$ Format $\rightarrow$ fps} project and not the \texttt{fps} of the assets.
\item It can be associated with Nested Clips.
- \item As an alternative to ReframeRT you can use the \textit{speed curve}, or change the framerate in \texttt{Resources $\rightarrow$ info} and in the \texttt{Project}.
+ \item As an alternative to ReframeRT you can use the \textit{speed curve}, or change the framerate in \texttt{Resources $\rightarrow$ info} and in the \texttt{Project}; or using \textit{Reframe} render effect, or using \textit{Speed PerCent} plugin.
\item It is keyframmable.
\item ResampleRT with the same settings is used to act on audio tracks.
\end{itemize}
The \textit{fill} point is a marker point, and not really part of the curve. That point identifies the inside of the loop. It can also be used to identify the outside of the loop in order to fill that. The loop is created by drawing a line from the last point to the first point in the curve. The line of this last segment is from the last point of the curve. If there are isolated loops in the curve (it is self intersecting) then you will be able to use multiple fill points to fill these regions.
+\subsection{Speed PerCent}%
+\label{sub:speed_per_cent}
+\index{speed percent}
+
+It works like the \texttt{ReframeRT} plugin in \textit{Stretch} mode. The interpolation algorithm is simply the slope of a linear curve. It allows you to change the speed of the video track, or an edit, or a region of the track quickly and intuitively. There are presets to set the speed to 100\% (default) or 25\%; 50\%; 200\% and 400\%. Or we can enter the value directly in the text box or use the slider until the desired value is reached. \textit{Interpolate} option works between keyframes. It requires setting the right limits for applying the effect and then rendering that region, or turning it into a nested clip, which will replace the original one.
