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

    Correct answer tordenver

    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:

    Apply, remove, find, and organize clips in Premiere Pro

    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 colorDenotes
    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! ;-)

    In the near future, those colors will have gone from the program.

    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.

    Thanks!

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

      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,

        David
