Effekciós

Effekciós is a Hungarian adjective meaning relating to effects. It is commonly used in media production to describe elements, techniques, or professionals that create audible or visual effects. The term derives from effekció, borrowed from the German Effekt or English effect, with the suffix -s forming an adjective.

In practice, effekciós is applied to a wide range of production aspects. Examples include effekciós hang (sound effects), effekciós látvány or vizuális effektek (visual effects), effekciós smink (special effects makeup), and effekciós utómunka (post-production effects). The word can describe both practical effects realized during filming and digital effects added in post-production, as well as devices and teams responsible for creating effects, such as effekciós eszközök or effekciós tervező.

In Hungarian cinema and theatre discourse, effekciós is distinguished from more general terms by emphasizing the crafted nature of effects, often in collaboration among designers, technicians, and artists. While widely understood in professional contexts, the term is less common in casual speech, where specific terms like hanghatás or vizuális effektus may be preferred.
