Video

Which filters can I apply to my video?

If you want to clean up a video, or censor part of it there are some built in filters that you can use. To add one of these, select the relevant video, go to the filters menu and then click add with the relevant filter selected.

• Blur - to obscure unwanted parts.
• Grayscale - remove all of the colour from an image.
• Pixellate - another way to obscure parts of the image.
