Changing Filter Timing
Filters appear as a bar in the Timeline and like other duration bars, can be trimmed or
moved in time.
Changing a Filter’s Duration
When you apply a filter to an object, the duration of the filter defaults to the length of
the object to which it is applied. This can be seen in the Timeline.
Once applied, a filter’s duration can be modified to affect the object over a different
amount of time than the object’s duration. For example, applying the Soft Focus filter
to an object results in that object being blurred for the entire object’s duration in the
Timeline. Changing In and Out points of the Soft Focus filter, however, changes when
the blur is applied to the object.
To trim a filter in the Timeline:
1 Position the pointer on the In or Out point (the left or right edge) of the filter you want
to trim.
The Circle Blur moves above the Highpass filter.
Filter duration defaults to object length.
