Applying Filters
Filters are extremely powerful and creative tools to work with. It can take a
good deal of experimentation to master them. It is definitely worth the effort,
however. What can be produced on a desktop editing system such as Final
Cut Pro would have cost a fortune at a facilities house only a few years ago.
The price paid now is the amount of time the individual is prepared to spend
building and rendering these effects.
