Controls in the Filters Tab of the Viewer
There are various controls you can use to manipulate filters in Final Cut Express HD.
While each filter has its own individual parameters and controls, all filters have some
controls in common.
 Filter category bar: Video filters are listed first, then audio filters. (This is for clips with
both video and audio items.) Click the Video Filters bar or the Audio Filters bar to
select all the filters in that category.
 Name bar: Each filter has a name bar that contains a disclosure triangle, on/off
checkbox, and the filter’s name. Drag the name up or down to change a filter’s
position in the list. (It’s easier to do this if the filter’s controls are hidden.)
