Graphics

On the right side of the screen there are multiple options to choose from to edit your video. The first is Graphics, which gives you the option to add a title onto a clip of picture, then customize the font. It also allows you to choose graphics for each clip, such as, transition graphics or overlays.

The second option is Effects. This allows transitions and their duration to be added to each clip to your video, just click and drag where you would like the transition in your timeline. There is also the option to Pan and Zoom, which adds motion to clip by scaling it over time. The last option is to Auto Reframe which keeps a particular spot in the frame in clips that do not match your aspect ratio.

These help your videos if your videos or pictures are different sizes. Rush will automatically make your clip either fill the entire screen or fit within the screen giving a border around it. The sliders under these options will let you change the position of the clip, the orientation, and the opacity. You have the option to flip the clip horizontally or vertically under all of those.
