Applying Filters to the Active Multiclip Angle
You can add video and audio filters, motion, and speed settings to a multiclip just as you
would to any other clip. However, only the multiclip’s active angle is affected.
Important: Speed changes to an angle can change the duration of a multiclip.
To apply a video or audio filter to the active multiclip angle in the Viewer
1 Double-click a multiclip in the Browser or Timeline to open it in the Viewer.
2 Drag a filter from the Effects tab of the Browser to the Viewer, or choose a filter from the
Effects menu.
The filter is applied to the active angle.
If angles in your multiclip have filters applied, you can choose whether or not you see
the filters applied in the Viewer.
To see filters rendered to multiclip angles in the Viewer

2 While continuing to hold down the mouse button, do one of the following:
• To permanently apply the filter to the active angle: Place the pointer over the Apply to
Source Angle overlay, then release the mouse button. This permanently applies the
filter to the active angle, even if you switch or cut to another angle.
• To apply the filter to the currently active angle: Place the pointer over the Apply to
Multiclip overlay, then release the mouse button. This option applies a filter to the
active angle, but the filter is not retained unless you use the Switch with Effects
commands when switching to other angles.
