Filter

Distorts the clip as if it were wrapped around a cylindrical object.
You can adjust the Radius and Center sliders to affect the
appearance of this filter, as well as select or deselect the Vertical
checkbox. The Amount slider controls the effect this filter has on
your image.

Cylinder

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 sliders define the direction and amount of the offset;
the Luma Scale slider and Repeat Edge checkbox define the
appearance of the offset.

Displace

Distorts the clip as if it were bulging outward. You can adjust the
Radius and Amount sliders to change the effect, and use the Center
point control to adjust the center of the bulge.

Fisheye

Distorts the clip as if it were mapped onto a pond ripple. The Center
point control allows you to set the center of this effect in the frame
of your clip. You can adjust the number and size of the ripples using
the Radius, Ripple, Amplitude, Acceleration, High Light, and Decay
sliders.

Pond Ripple

Distorts the clip in a wave pattern, both horizontally and vertically.
You can adjust both parameters independently using the Amplitude,
Wavelength, Horizontal Speed, and Vertical Speed sliders. The Repeat
Edges checkbox ensures that no black appears at the edges of the
frame.

Ripple

Distorts the clip in a simple zigzag pattern, either horizontally or
vertically. You can adjust the Amplitude, Wavelength, and Speed
sliders to change the effect. The Vertical checkbox defines the
orientation of the effect. The Repeat Edges checkbox ensures that
no black appears at the edges of the frame.

Wave

Distorts the clip in a swirling, whirlpool pattern. You can adjust the
Center point control. The Amount Angle control defines the rotation
of the whirlpool. The Repeat Edges checkbox ensures that no black
appears at the edges of the frame.

Image Control Filters

Image Control filters let you manipulate the levels of black, white, and color in your clips.
They can be used to correct clips with color or exposure problems or to create other,
more extreme color effects. For more detailed control over the color in your clips, use the
color correction filters.

Filter

Lets you change the brightness and contrast of a clip by –100 to
100 percent to darken or lighten the image. Brightness and contrast
affect all colors and luma values of a clip at once; if used to extremes
they can give a washed-out appearance to your clip.
