Modifying and Removing Filters

To modify filters in a sequence, open the clip to which the filter applies into the Viewer.

Note: Filters can be added to clips even if the clips aren’t in a sequence. If you want to
modify or remove a filter for a clip in a sequence, make sure the sequence clip is open
in the Viewer, not the master clip from the Browser.

To view a clip’s filters in the Viewer:

m

If your sequence clip is already open in the Viewer, click the Filters tab.

m

Double-click the filter bar in the keyframes area of a clip in the Timeline. The clip opens
in the Viewer with the Filters tab in front.

m

If a sequence clip was open in the Viewer with its Filters tab in the front, a new
sequence clip opened in the Viewer will also appear with its Filters tab in front.

Using the Filters tab, you can make adjustments to the parameters of individual filters.
Since filters vary widely, see “

Applying Filters to an Audio Clip

” on page 161 for general

guidelines on how to use them.

In addition to adjusting individual settings for each filter, you can also enable and
disable the filters without removing them from your clip, rearrange their order to
modify their effects, and remove them from your clips.

To enable or disable a filter:

m

Click the checkbox by the filter name in the Filters tab. If you uncheck the box, the filter
is disabled, but not removed from the clip. This is a useful way to preview different
combinations of filters, without constantly applying and deleting the same filters.

Since filters are applied serially, if you apply multiple filters to a clip, the order in which
they appear is very important. (See “

Applying Filters to an Audio Clip

” on page 161.)
