Configuring a Filter

Video filters that have a visual position coordinate display a cross-hairs button, which allows you to adjust the position on the canvas. The label of the parameter you are editing also appears on the canvas when adjusting the position.

When multiple clips are selected, ScreenFlow attempts to display the list of filters in the Video Properties pane where the filters have similar settings. For example, if two clips have two identical filters in the same order, ScreenFlow will display the two filters regardless of whether any of the individual parameters are the same. However, if the two clips have the same filters but in different order, ScreenFlow displays a Multiple Filters message.

Filter processing is CPU-intensive. Depending on the number of filters enabled, expect export and publishing times to increase.

After you configure a filter, you can test it out by playing the video.

To configure a filter, follow these steps:

1.	Select the clip that has the filter you want to configure.

2.	Select the Video or Audio properties pane, as appropriate.

3.	Click on the Video | Audio Filters disclosure triangle to display the filters (Figure 58).
