Added a color effect to my project in movie studio 25 but do not like it and want to remove it but just cannot find out how, please help. Sure it must be simple but can not find anything online.
Hi and welcome to the user to user forums.
You can select the video object on the timeline editor by right clicking it and choosing the following.
Alternatively if you have more than one effect applied and only want to remove just the one effect you can find the effect in the effects tab and reset that effect or delete or disable the effect in the key frame editor.
Click on either image to enlarge the view. Click to one side or if you see the close X, in the top right of where the picture enlarges, use that to get back to this page.

Hi,
I presume that you mean that you added a color effect to an object, not to the project. Which is it?
A few ways for an object in addition to what Ray just showed (he beat me out). With the Color Effect screen showing and the object selected:
EDIT: please note that there is a difference in applying effects yourself and using a template. It always helps if you are precise, otherwise we're guessing.

Thanks Ray, this doesn't help me. The movie still has a blue colour to it. Not sure what i did. Was fine until i closed the program down and came back to it then it had al changed.

A few ways for an object in addition to what Ray just showed (he beat me out). With the Color Effect screen showing and the object selected:
- Ctrl+Alt+- (that is, while holding down Ctrl and Alt, hit the minus key to delete all effects on the object; or,
- With the object selected and the Color Effect showing in the Media Pool, click on the X at the top right of the Color Effect. To see other possibilities, click on the hamburger menu to the left of the X; or,
- With the object selected and the Color Effect showing in the Media Pool, click on the effect, if more than one, in the keyframe area at the bottom of the Effects, screen, open the dropdown menu, select Delete effects.

Hi John and thanks,
I quite new to this program so forgive me.
I'm not entirely sure what i've done. I thought i was attempting to change the colour of a single image in the movie. Didn't seem to have any affect at the time. I closed the project and came back to it to find the whole movie has a strong blue tint to it. Sorry i can't be any more precise.
Hi,
Please post a screen shot of the entire interface with a image selected on the timeline. You can upload the image in your post using the up arrow in the header icons of your reply message.

In the preview window the map should be green land and blue ocean. This colour effect is on the entire movie.
I can't see the effects put on the selected image beyond Size/Position. Scroll over a bit on the timeline so we can see what is on the image.
Alternatively, if everything is like this, you may have put the monitor in some other mode, like Anaglyph. Click on the hamburger menu at the top left of the preview monitor. Standard 2D should be checked.
John CB
Holy cow John. You fixed it! Anaglyph!!! NO IDEA HOW I HIT THAT! 🙇THANKS SOOOOOO MUCH!!
Hi Helen,
Glad to help. While in the menu, I suggest that you look at the other things, like turning on the jog wheel, if not already done, and zooming the monitor in and out. This is different from zooming in an image.

Deleted my comment as @browj2 had the answer for you.
I tried the solution John suggested but it hardly made a difference at my end.
Glad to see you have it sorted.
I agree with @browj2 though. You need to see as many controls as possible in the workspace.
Most of us here work on two or more screens but if you only have one monitor you could drag some of the internal components around within the program to give you a more usable layout and save the Windows workspace with a name to recall when you need it.

T'ha la so much once again John!! So very helpful.

It's definitely not comfortable working on one screen but I do so little of it I can't justify a bigger setup. Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.
Hallo Helen,
.....You solved it! Anaglyph!!! NO IDEA HOW I DID IT....
After all the good answers, I want to give you an answer to the question "how you could have done this".
You probably pressed Ctrl+"." (dot), then the image is set to the Anaglyph-view. By pressing only the "." (dot) you set the image back to standard (2D).
Best wishes,
Rob
