Apply and remove filters
Filters are applied to image layers (still images, video clips, shapes, and so on) in the Canvas,
Layers list, or Timeline. An applied filter appears in the Layers list nested underneath its target
layer (or a folder containing layers).
Important: Some filters can cause a group to be rasterized. When a group is rasterized, it is
converted into a bitmap image. In 2D groups, the application of any filter causes rasterization.
In 3D groups, the application of specific filters causes rasterization. For more information on
rasterization, see
Filters and rasterization on page 1050.
