Applying Multiple Filters to Clips
You can apply one or more filters to a clip at a time. You can also add one or more
filters to multiple clips at the same time. You can add as many filters as you like to a
clip. If you apply more than one filter to a clip, the filters are applied sequentially (the
first filter is applied, and then the next filter is applied, and so on).
The order in which a clip’s video filters appear in the Filters tab of the Viewer
determines how that clip looks. For example, if you apply a Blur filter and then a Pond
Ripple filter to a clip, the clip is blurred first, and then the blurred image is rippled. If
you switch the order, the image is rippled first and then blurred.
Once multiple filters are applied to a clip, you can change the order in which they take
effect by dragging them up and down the list in the Filters tab. See “
Enabling and
Rearranging Filters
” on page 231.

m

m

the Browser).

point to change it.
