Displaying Filter Bars in the Timeline
Once you’ve added filters to one or more clips, you can choose whether or not to
display filter indicators, or bars, in the Timeline to indicate that the clips have filters
applied to them. Filter bars are green and appear in the space below each video and
audio track in the Timeline for the duration of that clip.
To show or hide filter bars, do one of the following:
m Click the Clip Keyframes button in the Timeline.
m Choose Sequence > Settings, then select the Show Keyframe Overlays checkbox.
To open a clip into the Viewer using filter bars:
m In the Timeline, double-click a green bar or keyframe to open that clip into the Viewer.
The Filters tab is automatically selected.
Enabling and Rearranging Filters
You can turn a filter on or off without removing it from a clip. This is useful for
previewing different combinations of filters without having to repeatedly apply and
delete them. You can also rearrange the order in which filters appear to modify the way
they work together.
To turn individual filters on or off:
m Click the checkbox next to the filter’s name.
