It sounds like you're applying the effect at the track or project level. You should probably be applying them to individual clips instead.

If you want the effect to vary within a clip then the coolest way is to use keyframes. They're very handy in that they let you manipulate the effect as time progresses as well as turn it on or off completely.

A simpler, although much less "cool" way is to split the event where you want the effect to change, the apply the effects to each section individually.

I agree with Chienworks. Key framing is the way to go. It intimidated me at first, but it is soooo so easy and it's too simple and cool to pass up this handy option. Create the keyframe where you want to start (select the + button) and where you want it to end (+). You can add additional keyframes to smooth out the transformation or add motion etc. Just keep the feature synchronized with the timeline so as you scrub across the timeline in the effects tool box,...you are also scrubbing(dragging) along the same spot on the actual timeline.
