Custom Color Layer for Windows
If you want to set a unique mood for your video montage while enhancing the color tone across all clips, this new feature in Filmora is for you. The custom color layer feature allows you to create and apply your own solid or gradient color layers over your video clips for creative effects and color grading. You can generate your own solid overlays and save them as custom to apply instantly in future videos.
The feature is ideal for mood settling, creating brand consistency, and stylization across clips. To learn how to use this feature, read the steps mentioned below:
Step 1: Launch Filmora and Create a New Project
To begin the process, launch Wondershare Filmora on your device and press the New Project option from the homepage. Next, import the videos of your choice on which you want to apply color grading.

Step 2: Access the Custom Color Layer Option
In the editing interface of Filmora, head to the Media section from the top toolbar and enable the Editing Presets section. Next, click on the Custom Color Layer option to enable the customization window.

Step 3: Customize the Color Layer and Save
Name the layer and expand the Fill Type to choose your desired filling style. Next, select the shade by accessing the Color option. Once the color for the layers is selected, tap on the Save as Custom option. Rename the custom layer and press the OK button to save the changes.

Step 4: Apply The Custom Color Layer to the Clips
To apply the layer, drag it to the editing timeline in the area of the video or press the + icon to apply it. Head to the Layer panel on the right side and choose the Blend Mode by expanding its drop-down menu.

Step 5: Apply Color Layer as Mask
Lead into the Layer panel on the right and enable the Mask section. Choose the shape of the mask and adjust different attributes like Blur Strength.

Step 6: Add Animation to the Layer
Access the Animation section from the Layer panel after applying the layer to a specific segment of the video. Now select the preset for animation to apply to the layer, preview the results in the preview window and finally press the Export button to save the final results.
