Controls in the Filters Tab of the Viewer
There are various controls you can use to manipulate filters in Final Cut Pro. While
each filter has its own individual parameters and controls, all filters have some controls
in common.
 Filter category bar: Video filters are listed first, then audio filters. (This is for clips with
both video and audio items.) Click the video filter category bar or the audio filter
category bar to select all the filters in that category.
 Name bar: Each filter has a name bar that contains a disclosure triangle, Enable/
Disable checkbox, and the filter’s name. Drag the name up or down to change a
filter’s position in the list. (It’s easier to do this if the filter’s controls are hidden.)
 Reset button: The Reset button is in the Name bar, under the Nav column. Click to
delete all keyframes for the corresponding parameter or parameters and reset those
parameters to their default values.
 Show/Hide Keyframes pop-up menu: This pop-up menu is in the Name bar, under the
Nav column. Use this pop-up menu to choose the parameters that have keyframes
displayed (or hidden) in the keyframe graph area.
 Enable/Disable checkbox: Select or deselect to enable or disable a filter. When this
checkbox is not selected, the filter isn’t applied or rendered.
 Disclosure triangle: Click to show and hide all of the controls for a filter.
 Parameter controls: Each filter has its own set of parameter controls.
