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
Select or deselect the checkbox by the filter name in the Filters tab. If you deselect the
checkbox, 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 removing
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
To change the order of filters:
m
Drag a filter in the Filters tab to change its place in the list of filters applied to that clip.
Note: To make it easier to drag the filter, click the disclosure triangle to the left of the
filter’s name to hide the filter’s parameters.
To remove a filter from a clip, do one of the following:
m
With a clip open in the Viewer, select a filter in the Effects tab, then choose Edit > Clear
(or press the Delete key).
m
Click the filter category bar in the Filters tab to select all of the filters applied to a clip,
then choose Edit > Clear (or press the Delete key).
Making Real-Time Audio Filter Adjustments
You may find it easier to make adjustments to an audio filter while the clip it’s applied
to plays. This way, you can hear how the adjustment sounds as you modify the
filter’s parameter.
To make real-time changes to an audio filter parameter:
1
In the Timeline, double-click the sequence clip with the audio filter you want to modify
to open the clip in the Viewer.
2
In the Viewer, click the Filters tab to see that clip’s audio filter parameters.
3
Move the playhead to the position in your clip where you want to make a filter
parameter change.
4
Play the sequence.
5
Adjust any audio filter parameter controls you wish.
You hear your changes immediately.
6
When you’ve finished making changes, stop playback.
Once you release the mouse button, your change is applied to the filter parameter.
