Applying Filters, Speed, and Motion Parameters to Multiclips
Individual angles can have filters, motion settings, and speed adjustments applied.
However, effects cannot be applied globally to a multiclip. For example, you can create
a multiclip in which each angle has an individual Color Corrector filter applied, but the
multiclip itself cannot have a Color Corrector filter applied. The Filters and Motion tabs
of a multiclip display filters and motion parameters for the active angle, not for the
entire multiclip.
Effects can be permanently applied to an angle when you create a multiclip. For
example, if you create a multiclip in which one of the selected clips has a Gaussian Blur
filter applied, that angle in the resulting multiclip will have a Gaussian Blur
filter applied.
Applying Filters to the Active Multiclip Angle
You can add video and audio filters, motion, and speed settings to a multiclip just as
you would to any other clip. However, only the multiclip’s active angle is affected.
Important: Speed changes to an angle can change the duration of a multiclip.
To apply a video or audio filter to the active multiclip angle in the Viewer:
1 Double-click a multiclip in the Browser or Timeline to open it in the Viewer.
2 Drag a filter from the Effects tab of the Browser to the Viewer, or choose a filter from
the Effects menu.
The filter is applied to the active angle.
If angles in your multiclip have filters applied, you can choose whether or not you see
the filters applied in the Viewer.
To see filters rendered to multiclip angles in the Viewer:
m Choose Render Filters in Multiclip Display from the View pop-up menu.
