Adding Filters to Video Clips

DaVinci Resolve supports both built-in ResolveFX and third-party OFX plug-ins to create

various effects. These effects can be applied both to clips in the Edit page, and to nodes in the

Color page. This section shows how to apply, edit, and remove these filters in the Edit page. For

more information about using video effects in the Color page, see Chapter 132, “Using OpenFX

and ResolveFX.”

For a detailed explanation of each of the ResolveFX plug-ins that accompany DaVinci Resolve,

see Part 11, “ResolveFX.”
