Perspective Filters Perspective filters allow you to move your clips spatially within their frames. To move a filter spatially using the entire frame of the Canvas, use motion effects instead. Filter Basic 3D Curl Flop Mirror Rotate Result Creates the illusion that your clip is suspended in 3D space. You can adjust the rotation around the X, Y, and Z axes using angle controls. The Center point control allows you to set the center of transformation, and the Scale slider enlarges and reduces the size of the entire affected layer. You cannot enlarge a clip past the frame size of that clip. Curls the clip as if it were a piece of paper. You can adjust the direction, radius, and amount of curl. The Peel checkbox toggles the effect between curling up in a roll and peeling up like a sticker. The Back clip control allows you to use a different clip as the back side of the curled object. Allows you to flop a clip horizontally, vertically, or both. Reflects a mirror image of the clip. Use the Reflection Center point control to change the center of the reflection, and the Reflection Angle control to modify the angle of the mirror effect. Rotates the clip by 90 degrees or by 180 degrees. Choose the angle of rotation from the Rotate pop-up menu. This filter scales the result to fit the frame size, distorting the clip. Sharpen Filters Sharpen filters manipulate the contrast of clips in a sequence to bring out more detail in your images. Filter Sharpen Unsharp Mask Result Increases the contrast between adjacent pixels to increase the perception of sharpness in the image. When overused, can result in a harsh, grainy look. Increases the contrast of adjacent pixels with greater control than the Sharpen filter. You can adjust the amount, radius, and threshold of sharpness to soften this filter's effect. 684 Part IX Effects
