188 Chapter 14 Adding Filters to a Setting
About the Filters Pane
Use the following features in the Filters pane of the Inspector to select and adjust filters
that you want to assign to your settings.
 Filters list: Select the checkbox next to the filters you want to add to your presets.
Filter settings you select appear in the Summary table in the Summary pane. You can
reorder filters by dragging them up or down in the Filters list. Because these filters
are processed one by one during transcoding—starting with the first entry in the
list—it is important that your filters are organized correctly. For example, it is sensible
to place your text overlay filter last, so that the text color you selected doesn’t get
modified by some other filter.
 Filter controls: The controls available depend on the filter selected in the Filters list.
The slider allows you to make large numerical changes to your setting, while the
arrow control lets you make single incremental number changes. The setting number
appears in the field located between the slider and arrow control.
Note: Once you make any adjustment to a filter, its checkbox is automatically selected.
If you decide that you no longer want to use that filter, be sure to deselect that
particular filter’s checkbox before transcoding.
