Filmora Pro video editor advanced editing effects

fillmore Oh probe video editor advanced editing effects and motion graphics made easy this series of tutorials are going to show you the basics of editing in filmora pro from start to finish hi everyone my name is Johnny and in this tutorial, we'll get familiar with effects we'll learn how to use the effects panel how to apply and adjust effects and then we'll get to know some specific effects so filmora pro has a lot of effects which are in the effects panel organized in folders a great way to learn about these effects is by experimenting with them on clips and seeing what they look like for this process I'll recommend that you use the effects workspace so we'll go to view workspace effects on the effects panel.

We can select if we want to see all of the effects or only the video effects audio effects presets video transitions or audio transitions we can select to sort them in ascending or descending order and if we want to Search for a specific effect we can use the search bar up here to apply an effect we must drag the effects to the timeline and drop it on the clip we want to apply it to the effect will appear on the controls panel when the affected the clip is selected here we can click on the square to activate or deactivate the effect if we click on the small arrow the options for the effect will drop down here we can adjust the effect of how we want or we can apply a preset adjustment to it most effects will also have controllers on the viewer screen.

We can apply more than one effect to the same clip the effect that appears on the top of the controls will be applied first and the one that's on the bottom will be applied last so if we drag the effects to change their order the end result could look different so let's make an overview of some effects and look at their settings let's start with the blurs the basic blur effect will affect the overall image similar to a lens out of focus on the effects panel 

we can change the radius of the blurriness and you can see this setting has a circle on the left which means that we can animate its value to do this I'll first set a value at the beginning of the clip and Click on this circle to create a keyframe then I'll move the playhead and change the value we can see in the viewer how the blurriness gets stronger over time the diffuse blur will apply a soft and transparent blur like a dreamy the effect we can change the radius of the blur and its opacity the radial blur will make a circular blur like a spinning camera effect for example.

I've applied this to a drone shot and have animated the angle value and the zoom blur will imitate a fast-moving motion blur I've used it on this camera movement shot and have animated the strength value grunge effects will give our clip an old or damaged appearance film grain will put noise on our clip to imitate old film videos halftone will imitate the printing method usually related to old comic books there's a black and white and a color version the shake effects will animate the position of the clip simulating a camera shake or an earthquake.

I've animated the amount of shake in this dancing clip where the dancers jump lights and flares effects will imitate some effects of the light hitting a camera lens for example with the light flare effect we can change and animate its position scale and pivot position or we can apply a preset adjustment to it the general effects will create visual elements on the screen vertical video effect is ideal.

When we want to add a vertical clip inside a horizontal video project this effect will fill the black bars on the sides with information from the clip to get a better aesthetic PIP or picture and picture will reduce the scale of video and put it on the corner of the screen this is super practical if you use screen recording and webcam in your videos like on tutorials or video game playthroughs we can change its place and scale in the case of this clip which has been recorded with a green background we can also apply a green chroma key preset to make the background transparent.

 the letterbox effects.
Will create horizontal black bars to simulate wider video proportions to give it some cinematic look to our Clips we can change the aspect ratio or choose a preset the gradients and fill effects will fill the clip with gradient colors but if we change the blending mode they'll be applied as a filter the temporal effects will change the clip based on time-motion trails will create fake motion blur on moving objects without affecting the still objects in this case it affects the dancer but not the background speed will change the speed playback and time reverse will play the clip backward so that's an overview of effects in film or pro to learn more about editing in filmora pro make sure to check out our other tutorials in this series there is no limit to what you can make.
