Customize Filters

Wondershare Filmora enables you to change the duration or opacity of filters.

Step 1: To change the duration

The default length is five seconds, but you can drag the edge of the effect in your timeline to change its duration.

Step 2: To Change the Alpha Opacity of a Filter

The alpha opacity (transparency) property can have a value of 0-100. A lower value makes the filter more transparent. Double click on the filter in the timeline to customize its opacity. Then, you preview how your clip looks with the filter applied to it in the Preview Window.
