Filters overview
Compressor has a variety of filters (such as color-correction, noise-removal, and edge-sharpening
filters) you can use to adjust your source media file before transcoding, to improve the output
quality of your video and audio. The best way to assign these filter settings is to look at, and
listen to, your source media file, and then choose the most suitable filter for your output
purposes. You can view the results of an applied filter in the Preview window.
There are two categories of filters available in the Filters pane of the Inspector:
•
Video filters modify specific visual aspects of your source media, such as brightness and contrast,
color, noise levels, interlacing, and so on. For more information, see
Video filters on page 156.
•
Audio filters modify sound aspects in your source media, such as dynamic range, peaking,
equalizer effects, and so on. For more information, see
Audio filters on page 163.
When you select a filter in the filters list, additional controls become available so that you can
customize your settings.
