Tutorial 1 The Motion Interface 51
Using Filters
Another broad category of effects available in Motion is filters. Filters modify the visual
characteristics of an object. They can be as simple as a mild blur or as complex as a
kaleidoscope effect. Filters can further be animated so the effect can change over time.
You can also apply Parameter behaviors to the parameters of filters for nearly endless
possibilities.
Filters are applied to objects in the same manner as behaviors—using the Library or
the Add Filter icon. Again, it is recommended that you use the Library as a preview tool
until you become familiar with filters in Motion.
To apply filters:
1 In the Layers tab, make sure that the GreenSquares layer is selected.
2 In the Library, click the Filters category, then select the Color Correction subcategory.
3 In the stack, select Color Balance.
A preview of color balance adjustments on an image plays and the filter description
appears in the Preview area.
