Applying Filters to an Audio Clip
Applying audio filters to clips in Final Cut Pro is easy.
To apply an audio filter to a clip in a sequence, do one of the following:
m Drag an audio filter from the Effects tab in the Browser to a clip in a sequence in
the Timeline.
If you drag the audio filter to a video clip, it’s applied to any audio items linked to
that clip.
m Select one or more clips in a sequence in the Timeline, choose Effects > Audio Filters,
then choose a filter from the submenu.
The filter is applied to all the clips you selected. If you selected video clips, the filter is
applied to any audio items linked to those clips.
m If a sequence clip is open in the Viewer, you can:
 Drag a filter from the Effects tab of the Browser directly to the Viewer.
 Choose a filter from the Audio Filters submenu of the Effects menu. The filter is
applied to the clip in the Viewer.
If you apply more than one filter to an audio clip, the filters are applied serially. In other
words, the first audio filter is applied, then the resulting audio signal is fed through the
next audio filter, and so on.
If you apply multiple filters to a clip, the order in which they appear in the Filters tab for
that clip in the Viewer determines how the clip sounds. Although the initial order of filters
in the tab depends on when they were applied, you can change the order at any time.
Drag a filter from
the Browser... ...to the Timeline.
