Applying Filters, Speed, and Motion Parameters to Multiclips
Individual angle’s clips can have filters, motion parameters, and speed adjustments
applied. However, effects cannot be applied globally to a multiclip. For example, you
can create a multiclip in which each angle’s clip has an individual Color Corrector filter
applied, but the multiclip itself cannot have a Color Corrector filter applied. The Filters
and Motion tabs of a multiclip display filters and motion parameters for the active
angle’s clip, not for the entire multiclip.
When you create a multiclip, any source clips that have effects applied also have effects
applied within the multiclip. For example, if you create a multiclip in which one of the
selected clips has a Gaussian Blur filter applied, that angle in the resulting multiclip also
has a Gaussian Blur filter.
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:
m Choose Render Filters in Multiclip Display from the View pop-up menu.
