# 05. Visual Effects

Playing a song but don’t have the right video clip? Don’t worry, we got you. Just add some **visual effects** and keep your focus on the show!

Let’s see how it works.

**Step 1**

Setup your interface and add two widgets to use the visual effects. First, open the widget menu and choose **„Visuals“**. This will show a list with over 60 different styles to choose from.

**Step 2**

Next, open the second widget **„Video Mix“** to show the effects.

**Step 3**

Connect your laptop to a Beamer or TV and excite your audience. The visuals window should show on the second screen automatically. However, you can **double click** on the widget which will open a new window, drag it to the screen and make the view full size. Another way is to just click on the **icon** below the widget window as you can see in the image.

**Step 4**

Create perfect transitions between songs and visual effects by using the **Crossfading-Tool**! Just choose the style and duration by clicking on the „Curves“, VideoT, and Clock Button. To start the Transition effect automatically, you can click on the **„Next“** Button or the arrows below the Crossfader. To do so manually, just swipe the controller.

ℹ️  *UltraMixer will prefer video over visuals. In case you are showing a video, the visual effects won’t show up.*
