Adding filters to clips or tracks
VideoCanvas comes with lots of filters for applying various effects such as adjusting colors, cropping, blurring etc. The filters can be applied either to a clip or to a track.
To add a filter:
Click on Clip or Track depending on if you want to add the filter to just one clip or to the whole track.
- Click on the track or clip in the Timeline to select it. It will be displayed in the effects nodes view at the top left of the window.
- Find the filter you want to add in the Media Browser and drag it to just below the clip or track icon in the effects node view. See the picture above.
- The filter will be added and connected to the source image or movie so that you now see two boxes in the effects node view: One for the clip or track and one for the filter and a line connecting them.
- You can have any number of effects on a clip or track. The clip effects will be applied before the track effects when rendering the movie.
- Insert a before another by dropping the new filter on the line connecting to the input of the old one.
- To remove a filter you click on it and press the delete key on the keyboard or select Delete from the Edit menu.
