Applying filters
Filters let you apply a wide range of special effects and corrections. For example, the following filters can be found in the Library:
• Cropping — lets you crop clips. You can fill the frame with the cropped result or show a border
• Anti-Shake — reduces shake in your videos for a stabilizing effect
• AutoSketch — applies a beautiful drawing effect to the video
Filters can be applied alone or in combination with the Video, Overlay, Title, and Audio Tracks.
