Add and adjust filters
Use the Filters pane in the Inspector to add video and audio filters to your settings. If you want
to modify only a single media file, you can add filters to a setting already applied in the Batch
window. If you want to modify a custom setting permanently, you can add filters to the custom
setting in the Settings tab. That way, all future jobs you apply the setting to will be modified by
your chosen filters.
Note: In the Settings tab, filters can be applied only to custom settings. If you want to apply filters
to any of the Apple-supplied settings in the Settings tab, first you must duplicate and save that
setting to the Custom folder. For more information, see
on page 35.
