Body Effects for Mac

Filmora's Body Effects feature for Mac lets you enhance videos with visual effects that follow a person's movements. You can apply glowing outlines, cloning effects, neon visuals, and other animated styles to make your footage more engaging. These effects are useful for dance videos, social media content, and creative video projects.

This guide explains how to add Body Effects in Filmora for Mac, customize their appearance, and use mask settings to control where the effects appear.

Step 1. Create a New Project and Import Video

Launch Filmora on your Mac and select Create Project to begin. Click Import to add the video you want to edit, then drag the imported clip onto the timeline.

Step 2. Find and Apply Body Effects

Go to the Effects tab in the top toolbar and select Body Effects from the left panel. Browse the available categories or use the search bar to find a suitable effect. Drag your chosen effect onto the timeline above the video clip, then adjust its duration to cover the desired section.

Step 3. Customize the Basic Settings

Double-click the applied effect on the timeline to open its settings in the right panel. Under Basic, adjust the available controls to change its appearance. For effects such as Basic Clone, you can modify Opacity, Distance, Amount, and Glitch to customize the result.

Step 4. Adjust the Mask Settings

Select the Mask tab in the effect settings to control which parts of the video display the effect. Choose a mask shape or define a custom area, then adjust its size, position, and feathering. Preview the footage to check how the effect blends with the surrounding scene.
