Apple Compressor 3 - Manual (Page 261)

Sharpen Edge
Enhances the image contrast around object edges. Some codecs blur the video image,
so this filter can counteract the softening effect of noise removal or blurred source material
and increase the perception of sharpness in the image. When used to an extreme, the
output media file can look grainy. Choose any number between 0 and 100.
• Amount: Sets a sharpen setting between 0.0 and 100.0.
Text Overlay
Superimposes text onto the image. This is a useful tool for stamping other relevant text
information onto your output media file.
Use the following controls to position text, select color and font, and set its opacity.
• Position: Positions text in the image clip. Choose from 1 of 13 positions such as Center,
Lower Left, Lower Left - Title Safe, and so on.
• Alpha: This slider sets the text opacity. Choose between 0 and 1. A value of 0 makes
the text completely transparent, while a value of 1 makes it completely opaque.
• Overlay Text: Type your text here.
• Text Color: Click this box to choose a text color from the color picker.
• Select Font: Click this button to open a font palette for selecting font, style, and size.
