Adding Video Filters and Transitions

8

You can add professional touches to your movie by applying filters to clips to create special looks or effects and adding transitions between your clips.

Applying filters to a clip can allow you to change a clip’s overall appearance, such as blurring an image over time, adjusting color, or even creating sophisticated green-screen or blue-screen composite images.

You can use transitions to smooth the change between clips, as you might by applying a quick cross dissolve, or you can create eye-catching effects, such as a page-turn effect, to call attention to changes.

Final Cut Pro provides a large selection of video filters and transitions that you can use with your clips. In this section, you’ll explore using some of the basic filters and transitions.
