    Badge color FX meaning?

      Could someone point me where to find the color meaning of the different badge FX that appear on the top left corner next to the name of a clip in the timeline panel?

      I did a search in the Premiere Pro Help without any success!

       

      It looks like we have:

      fx-yellow/gold

      fx-purple

      fx-white

      fx-green

       

      Thanks,

       

      David

          You could have figured this out for yourself, so did I.

           

          White : no effects

          Yellow : just fixed effects

          Purple : effects

          Green : fixed effects and effects.

            I am sorry if I am dense but what does it means "just fixed effects" and "fixed effects"?

            ...and if it is so obvious to you, I will be happy to read whatever Adobe put together online? do you have a link?

             

            Thanks,

              Any official words from Adobe where I can find their definition for these fx color badge in CC2014? I am on-lining a project that was edited somewhere else, and I am trying to make sense of all the different effects used (speed ramp, transform, speed/duration, other PrP effects) when re-linking the media. Knowing what the official meaning of these colors are, might help organizing my work. Help and google search has not help me so far.

                Fixed effects are the effects in the Effect Controls like Motion, Opacity etc.

                  For who ever will look at this topic, I finally got a direct answer from Adobe. Following is the direct link which explains the meaning of the color fx badges:

                  http://http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/applying-removing-finding-organizing-effe cts.html#FX

                   

                   

                  FX badges

                   

                    

                  An FX badge is an icon in the Timeline that lets you easily identify if an effect has been applied to a clip.

                  Premiere Pro offers FX badges in different colors. Just by looking at the badge color, you can determine if you have applied an effect, modified an intrinsic effect, and so on. 

                   

                        A. Gray FX badge B. Purple FX badge C. Yellow FX badge D. Green FX badge  

                    

                  Red underlined FX badge

                   

                      

                  FX badge color
                  		Denotes
                  GrayNo effect applied (default badge color)
                  PurpleNon-intrinsic effect applied (like, color correction, blur)
                  YellowIntrinsic effect modified (like, position, scale, opacity) 
                  Green  Intrinsic effect modified and additional effect applied
                  Red underlineMaster Clip effect applied

                   

                  So Ann was close with her answer but not as specific as what it actually is! ;-)

                    I think I gave you an accurate answer.

                    Adobe changed the name from fixed effects to intrinsic.
