DISCUSSION This appendix lists all the special effects provided with Final Cut Pro, which are available in the Browser's Effects tab. It also explains any settings you need to make when applying these effects. You can apply these effects to clips individually or in combinations. Video Filters - Blur Gaussian Blur Blurs the clip. You can adjust which channel to blur. Radial Blur Blurs the clip. You can adjust the angle and steps of rotation. You can also specify the center point of rotation. Wind Blur Directionally blurs the clip. You can adjust the direction, distance, and steps. Zoom Blur Blurs the clip. You can adjust the type, amount, center point, and number of steps for the zoom. Video Filters - Border Basic Border Draws a border around the edges of the clip. You can adjust the width and color of the border. Bevel Draws a beveled border around the edges of the clip. You can adjust the lighting and bevel. Video Filters - Channel Arithmetic Performs an arithmetic operation on the clip in a specific color channel. You can adjust the operator and the channel. Channel Blur Blurs channels individually. Channel Offset Offsets the channel position of the clip. You can specify the center offset and the type of edge to be used. Color Offset Offsets the color of individual channels in the clip. You can adjust overflow colors. Compound Arithmetic Performs an arithmetic operation on the clip and a second specified clip. You can adjust the operator and the channel. Invert Inverts the channel of the clip. Video Filters - Distort Bumpmap Distorts the clip by offsetting pixels using the luminance of map image. You can adjust the map image, luma scale, direction, outset, and repeat edges. Direction and outset define the direction and amount of the offset. Luma scale and repeat edges define the appearance of the offset. Cylinder Distorts the clip as if it were wrapped around a cylindrical object. You can adjust the radius, center, and orientation of the cylinder. Displace Distorts the clip by offsetting pixels using the red and green channels. You can adjust the horizontal offset using the red channel and the vertical offset using the green channel. Horizontal and vertical scale define the direction and amount of the offset. Luma scale and repeat edges define the appearance of the offset. Fisheye Distorts the clip as if it were bulging outward. You can adjust the amount, radius, and center of the bulge. Pond Ripple Distorts the clip as if it were mapped onto a pond ripple. You can adjust the number and size of the ripples and the center point for the ripples. Ripple Distorts the clip in a wave pattern, both horizontally and vertically. You can adjust the size and speed of the wave. Wave Distorts the clip in a wave pattern, horizontally or vertically. You can adjust the size and speed of the wave. Whirlpool Distorts the clip in a whirlpool pattern. You can adjust the center and rotation of the whirlpool. Video Filters - Image Control Brightness and Contrast Changes the brightness and contrast of the clip by a specific amount. Color Balance Changes the red, green, and blue levels of the clip. You can adjust the tone. Desaturate Removes the color from the clip by the specified amount. Gamma Correction Changes the mid-tone brightness of the clip by the specified amount. Levels Changes the channel brightness, contrast, and gamma of the clip by the specified amount. Proc Amp Changes the clip's color by the specified amount. You can adjust the setup, video, chroma, and phase. Sepia Tints the clip with sepia color. You can adjust the amount and brightness of tint. Tint Tints the clip with the specified color. Video Filters - Key Blue and Green Screen Keys the blue or green area of the clip and uses its color as a transparency mask for compositing backgrounds into a scene. You can adjust the color level and tolerance. You can also adjust the view mode and the edges. Color Key Keys out the area of the clip with the specified color. You can adjust the key color level and tolerance. You can also adjust the view mode and the edges. Difference Matte Compares two clips and keys out areas that are similar. You can adjust the difference level and tolerance, as well as the view mode and the edges. Luma Key Keys out an area of the clip using the clip's luminance. You can adjust the type of key, luminance level, view mode, destination of the result, and tolerance. Spill Suppressor, Blue Removes blue around the edges of the clip. Spill Suppressor, Green Removes green around the edges of the clip. Video Filters - Matte Mattes let you make selected areas of the video opaque. 8-Point Garbage Matte Generates an 8-point polygonal matte in the clip. You can adjust the view mode, the points for the polygon, the smoothness around the corners, and the edges. Extract Produces a luminous matte around the clip. You can adjust the luminance level, tolerance, and view mode. Use the Copy Result pop-up menu to copy the luminance result to the RGB or Alpha channel. 4-Point Garbage Matte Generates a four-point polygonal matte in the clip. You can adjust the view mode, the points of the polygon, the smoothness around the corners, and the edges. Image Mask Uses the alpha channel or luminance of a specified clip to create a matte. Mask Feather Blurs the alpha channel of the clip by a specified amount. Mask Shape Generates a mask shape on the clip. You can adjust the shape. Matte Choker Changes the edges of a matte on the clip. Soft Edges Blurs the four edges of the clip individually by the specified amount. Wide Screen Generates a wide-screen matte in the clip. You can adjust the type of the wide screen and offset the clip vertically. Video Filters - Perspective Basic 3D Transforms the clip in three dimensions. You can adjust the rotation around the x, y, and z axes. You can set the center and scale. Curl Curls the clip. You can adjust the amount, direction, radius, type, and back side of the curl. Flip Flips the clip horizontally, vertically, or both. Mirror Reflects a mirror image of the clip. You can adjust the position and angle of the mirror. Rotate Rotates the clip by 90 degrees and scales the result to fit the frame size. Video Filters - Sharpen Sharpen Increases the contrast between adjacent pixels. Unsharp Mask Increases the contrast of adjacent pixels that are light or dark. You can adjust the sharpness of the clip. Video Filters - Stylize Anti-Alias Blurs the high-contrast areas in the clip. Diffuse Randomly offsets pixels in the clip. You can adjust the offset, direction, and distance. Emboss Produces an illusion of raised edges where there is high contrast in the clip. Find Edges Outlines the edges where there is high contrast in the clip. Posterize Maps the colors in the clip to a specified number of colors. Replicate Tiles the clip. You can adjust the number of tiles. Solarize Minimizes the midtones and maximizes the highlights and shadows in the clip. Video Filters - Video Blink Flashes clip on and off. You can adjust the frequency and opacity. Image Stabilizer Stabilizes motion in the clip. You can adjust the scan area and range. De-Interlace Averages adjacent horizontal lines of the clip. Stop Motion Blur Blends frames in the clip. You can adjust the time, steps, opacity, and type of blend. Strobe Freezes the specified frame of the clip for the specified amount of time. Timecode Print Displays the clip's timecode. You can adjust the timecode display. View Finder Displays view finder overlay, including mode and title/action safe. You can adjust the text and color. Video Generators Bars and Tone Generates a video color bar and tone. Color Matte Generates a specific color matte. You can adjust the opacity. Custom Gradient Generates a linear or radial gradient. You can adjust the gradient position, direction, width, and colors. Gradient Generates a predefined gradient. You can adjust the gradient colors. Highlight Generates a specular highlight band using the specified center point and angle as the highlight line. You can define the width, softness, and size of the band as well as its foreground and background colors. You can also apply a dither or highlight gradient, making it smoother over large areas. Noise Generates random pixel noise. You can adjust the colors. Particulate Noise Generates random particle noise. You can adjust the particle shape, color, size, softness, and density. Slug Generates a slug. This is useful for a placeholder. Text Lower 3rd Generates two lines of text in the lower third of the frame. You can adjust the text and background. Text Generates multiple lines of auto-kerned text. You can adjust tracking, leading, aspect ratio, and subpixel positioning of the text. You can also enable or disable auto-kerning and tracking.
