Workflow of Video Effects
Filmora is a powerful video editing software with thousands of video effects, which can help to make your videos or audios more creative and brilliant.
Upon reading this guide, users will learn about how to commence the step-by-step action of adding different effects:
Index
Using Mosaic Blur Effects
The mosaic effect allows you to blur a specific area in the video or the whole video.
Step 1: Adding Mosaic Effect to Blur Objects in Video
Click the Effects tab at the top, find Video Effects, and click Trending. Find and drag the Mosaic effect to the track above the video. You can move it to the required timing in the timeline and adjust its duration.
In the Preview window, drag the handles of the mosaic effect to adjust its size and position to get the results you want.
Step 2: Adjust Mosaic Effect
Click on the mosaic effect in the timeline to enter the Effect edit panel. You can choose the blur type from the presets, drag the slider to adjust the blur amount, and change mosaic opacity.
Step 3: Adding Mosaic Effect to Whole Video
In the Effect tab, scroll down to the Video Effects category, and type “Mosaic” in the search box. Then a bunch of related effects will appear. Choose the “Pixelate Store” or the “Pixelate 2” effect.
Step 4: Adjust Pixelate Mosaic Effect
Drag one of the pixelate effects to the track above the video. Click the pixelate effect in the timeline to adjust its SquareSize and Opacity.
Using Face-Off Effects
The difference between Mosaic effect and Face-off effect is that, with Mosaic, you can blur any area in the video and the area won't move around while your video plays, whereas, with Faceoff, you can cover moving faces.
Step 1: Adding Face-Off Effect to Video
Go to the Effects tab at the top and scroll down to the Video Effects.
Step 2: Apply Face-off Effect
Select Face-off and drag it to the track above the video. By default, the face will be blurred with mosaic.
Step 3: Change Face-off Preset
Double click the face-off effect in the timeline to enter the Effects editing panel. There are many face presets you can use for fun, choose one and click OK to save changes.
Using Mask Effects
Filmora's masking feature is a professional-grade and efficient technique to hide an object while editing the other. Users can apply different effects, transitions, and much more on a single object in a video through it. However, sometimes, you need more time for the precision masking.
Step 1: Access the Mask Effects
Click the clip in the timeline and navigate towards the "Effects" tab, and in the search bar, write "Effects Mask".
Step 2: Drag and Drop the Desired Mask Effects
Once you have selected a desired mask, use the drag-and-drop functionality to bring this mask to the timeline track above the media clip. On clicking the "Play" button on the preview window, check the results of the application.
Using Countdown Effects

Run Filmora and then go to "Effects" from the navigation bar.
Type "countdown" from the search bar and you'll see s list of countdown effects tempaltes.
Drag your desired one and add it to your videos in the suitable position.
Using Overlay Effects
Step 1: Add Overlays Effects
Wondershare Filmora enables you to add as many overlays as you want. There are two ways to add overlays to a video.

Method 2: Hover your mouse over the overlay effect you want. When you see a plus icon in the middle, click it. Then effect will be added to the timeline.
Note:
If you are editing a "portrait" (9:16) clip in a 16:9 video, you can add background blur filters to replace the black bars.Step 2: Customize Overlays Effects
To change the duration, the default length is five seconds, but you can drag the edge of the overlay effect in your timeline to change its duration.
Step 3: Change the Opacity of Overlay Effects
The 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.
