Distort Filters
The Final Cut Pro Distort filters are design-oriented filters that create texture effects.
Filter Result
Bumpmap Offsets pixels in a clip using the luma of a second selected image,
called the map. Use the Direction and Outset controls to define the
direction and amount of the offset, and the Luma Scale and Repeat
Edge controls to define the appearance of the offset.
Cylinder 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.
Displace 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.
Fisheye 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.
Pond Ripple 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.
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.
Wave 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.
Whirlpool 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.
