Strobe

Lowers the apparent frame rate of a clip in your sequence by
freezing the frames of the clip for a specified amount of time. The
Strobe Duration slider allows you to define the duration of each
freeze frame.

Timecode Generator

Generates a visible timecode counter independent of the timebase
and timecode format of the affected clip (or sequence). For
example, you can apply a Timecode Generator filter counting at
24 fps while the affected sequence has a timebase of 29.97 fps.

Timecode Reader

Generates a visible timecode counter based on the frame rate
(timebase) and selected time display option of the clip or sequence
to which the filter is applied.

View Finder

Displays a simulated camcorder viewfinder overlay. Various
elements can be included, such as rec/play/pause mode (or custom
text), title/action safe, and a blinking lamp. You can also adjust the
text and color of the mode text.
