Applying Adjustment Layers

Use Adjustment Layers to apply Filters and Transitions to clips across multiple tracks. By adding Filters to an Adjustment Layer, the effect will be applied to all tracks below it on the Timeline. For example, applying a Fade transition to an Adjustment Layer and adding an Aqua filter, will cause the Aqua filter to appear using the applied transition.

To Add Adjustment Layers to the Timeline:

There are three ways to add an Adjustment Layer to Media on the Timeline.

1. Select the Adjustment Panel and perform one of the following:
   
   

• Click on Adjustment Layer and drag it onto a track on the Timeline.
• Right-click the Adjustment Layer and select Apply.
• Select the Adjustment Layer and press Alt + A on your keyboard.

To Apply Filters and/or Transitions to an Adjustment Layer:

1. Select the Adjustment Panel, then click and drag the Adjustment Layer clip onto the Timeline.
2. Select the Filters Panel and select the Filter to be added and drag it onto the Adjustment Layer Clip.
3. Click on the Filter connected to the Adjustment Layer to view its properties in the Properties Panel.

Please see Filters for more information on how they can be applied and modified.
