Result Filter
Increases the contrast between adjacent pixels to increase the
perception of sharpness in the image. When overused, can result
in a harsh, grainy look. Sharpen
Increases the contrast of adjacent pixels with greater control than
the Sharpen filter. You can adjust the amount, radius, and threshold
of sharpness to soften this filter’s effect. Unsharp Mask
Stylize Filters
Stylize filters can be used to create an assortment of visual effects.
Result Filter
Blurs the high-contrast areas in the clip to soften the borders
between elements in the frame. Use the Amount slider to soften
diagonal “stair-stepping” that can occur in areas of high contrast. Anti-alias
Randomly offsets pixels in the clip to create a textured blur. The
Direction Angle control allows you to adjust the direction of
diffusion. The Radius slider adjusts how extreme the diffusion is.
The Direction pop-up menu lets you specify whether the diffusion
should be unidirectional (random on one axis), bidirectional (random
on two axes), or nondirectional (all directions). The Random
checkbox increases the amount of chaos in the effect, and the
Repeat Edges checkbox eliminates any black that might appear
around the edge of the frame. Diffuse
Produces the illusion of raised edges where there is high contrast
in the clip. The Direction Angle control allows you to specify the
direction of the emboss effect. The Depth slider lets you raise or
lower the apparent depth of the embossing. The Amount slider
controls the blend between the original clip and the emboss effect. Emboss
Creates an effect of extreme contrast used to outline the edges in
the clip. The Invert checkbox lets you switch between using a
light-on-dark and dark-on-light effect. The Amount slider controls
the blend between the original clip and the Find Edges effect. Find Edges
Maps the colors in the clip to a specified number of colors, creating
an image with limited color range, which produces banding in areas
of graduated color. Red, Green, and Blue sliders allow you to adjust
the amount of posterization. Posterize
Tiles the clip to create a duplicate video wall effect. You can adjust
the number of tiles independently for the horizontal and vertical
axes, up to 16 repetitions. If the horizontal and vertical repetitions
are not the same, the repeated images appear distorted. Replicate
Minimizes the midtones and maximizes the highlights and shadows
in the clip, like the photographic solarizing effect. This effect can
be inverted using a checkbox and adjusted using the Amount slider. Solarize
