Chapter 14 Adding Filters to a Setting 193
4 Make adjustments to any filters that you want added to the setting.
Note: A checkmark appears automatically as soon as you make adjustments to any filter.
5 Drag the filters up or down within the Filters list to set the order in which you want
them applied to the source media file during transcoding.
Because these filters are processed one by one during transcoding—starting with the
first item in the list—it is important that your filters be organized in the order you want
them. For example, it is sensible to place your text overlay filter last, so that the text
color you selected doesn’t get modified by some other filter.
Drag filters up or down to set
the order you want them to
be applied to the source
media file.
