To create an adjustment layer in Filmora, you need to drop an adjustment clip onto the timeline and then apply your desired effects to that clip. The effects applied to the adjustment layer will then affect all clips positioned below it on the timeline.
Here's a breakdown of how it works:
- Add Adjustment Layer: Within Filmora, locate and select the adjustment layer option. This is typically found in the effects or media panel, and you drag it onto your timeline.
- Position the Adjustment Layer: Place the adjustment layer above the video clips you want to be affected. Think of the timeline as layers of editing - effects on the top layers impact those below.
- Match the Length: Ensure the adjustment layer's length matches the duration of the video clips you want to adjust. This ensures all the intended footage is influenced by the adjustments.
- Apply Effects: With the adjustment layer selected, add the desired effects to it (e.g., color grading, filters, etc.). The video reference states: "And match its length look for a perfect effect and drop it on the adjustments".
- Effect Application: As indicated in the video reference, effects applied to the adjustment layer impact all video clips positioned below it on the timeline.
- Finished: Once you add the effects to the adjustment clip, those effects are applied across the clips underneath. That is it.
In summary, an adjustment layer in Filmora is a layer you place above other video clips that, when you add effects to it, apply those effects to all the video clips underneath it on the timeline.
