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.
