Video effects

From film grain to falling snow

Stack color, blur, distortion and texture on any clip in Studio. For what a filter can't do, like snow or a new time of day, write the change and an edit model makes it.

Plans from $19 a month. Studio runs in a desktop browser.

What counts as a video effect?Six kinds, one place for each

Effects a filter can't makeWrite the change. The scene follows.

A filter changes pixels. An edit model changes what is in the shot: weather, light, new things, a painted style. The motion and the framing come from your clip.

Speed

Set any clip from a quarter speed to five times. Slow the jump, speed up the commute.

Camera movement

Zoom in, zoom out, pan or a dynamic move, on a photo or a clip.

63 animations
