Remove selected effects

  1. Select the clip in the Timeline panel.

  2. To ensure that only one clip is selected, select an empty space in the timeline, then the clip. Then, select a spot in the time ruler above the selected clip to move the current-time indicator to that location.

  3. In the Effect Controls panel, select the effect or effects you want to remove. To select more than one, Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (macOS) the effects.

    In the Timeline panel, a selected clip displays its applied effects. In the Effect Controls Panel, Channel Mixer and Amplify are highlighted for removal.
    Delete one or more effects from a clip.

  4. Use Delete or Backspace on your keyboard.

    Alternatively, you can also use Remove Selected Effect from the Effect Controls panel menu.
