All filters have several controls in common:

 Parameter disclosure triangle: This allows you to show or hide a filter’s parameters.
 Enable checkbox: This allows you to enable or disable filters without removing them

from the clip. You can use it to disable filters temporarily to preview a different filter.

 Parameter pop-up menu: Allows you to enable and disable specific settings for a filter.
 Reset button: Resets a filter’s settings to the default values.

Each filter also has a unique set of controls. These controls usually include sliders and
numeric fields that let you adjust the filter’s parameters.
