Compositing and Special Effects 221
Final Cut Pro supports three types of effects. The Final Cut Pro FXScript architecture includes
video effects for transitions, filters, and generators. QuickTime 3.0 filters are also recognized.
In addition, Final Cut Pro works with many After Effects third-party filters. Not all of these
plug-ins, however, are certified for use with Final Cut Pro. For more information about After
Effects third-party filters, see “Using After Effects Third-Party Filters” on page 223.
All of these filters can be found in the Effects tab in the Browser window. The Final Cut Pro
filters are in folders labeled Video Transitions, Video Filters, and Video Generators. After
installation, QuickTime filters can be found in a folder called QuickTime inside the Video
Transitions and Video Filters Folders. After Effects filters can be found in a folder called AE
Filters in the Video Filters Folder.
Applying Filters From the Timeline or the Browser
Before applying a filter to a clip, decide whether to apply the filter to a clip in the Timeline
(which applies it only to that copy of the clip in that sequence) or to a clip in the Browser
(which applies the filter to the clip whenever you subsequently insert that clip into a
sequence). Applying a filter to a clip in the Browser can be useful for color correction of clips
that you plan to use across sequences or multiple times in a single sequence. See also “Using
Clips in Sequences” on page 143.
To apply a filter to a single clip:
m Drag the filter from the Browser to the clip in the Timeline.
m Select the clip and choose the filter by name from the Effects menu.
To adjust the position or duration of a filter in a clip:
1 Open the clip in the Viewer and click the Filters tab.
m Default In and Out points are at either end of the duration bar.
