When i take a clip and want to add a reverb sound effect to like 10 seconds of it, and the other part stays the same, how do I do it ?
I right clicked and did "effects - Audio - Reverb, yet, i cant find any way to choose "reverb 0%" or such at some points.

    Hi Omer47,

    TowerGuy's solution is an easy one.    The more obvious solution would be to key frame the reverb on and off.  

    While there is no way to key frame "Reverb Time" attribute of the Reverb effect you can just key frame all the other attributes.   Set up the reverb how you want it.  Move the time indicator to where you want the reverb to start.  Key all the attributes.  Move to the time you want it to stop and key all the attributes again.  Now go to one frame before and one frame after your two existing keys and set all 5 attributes to zero.

    If you plan on using After Effects on a regular basis you should really spend the time going through some basic tutorials.   Simply knowing how to set keyframes is an indispensable aspect of using AE.

    Hi. You can split the layer twice (ending up with three layers) the add the reverb to the section that you want it on - though to be honest AE is terrible for manipulating sound and as Peru Bob suggests PP (or Audition) would be Infinitely better to use.

    You can easily do that in Premiere Pro:
