Introduction of the Cool Effects in Filmora

2. Fast Motion

Fast motion (or time-lapse) is a creative way to show the progression of a project. This effect makes your video appear to have occurred at a faster speed than normal, thus it will speed up to show the entire process in a matter of minutes or seconds. In Filmora video editor, you can drag the speed slider to get the desired speed or enter the duration of the clip that you need, and Filmora will change the speed accordingly.

3. Slow Motion

Slow motion, however, makes your video appear to be slowed down. This effect can enhance the emotional and dramatic moments like wedding ceremony, birthday party or flashback scenes.

4. Jump Cut

Jump cut is an abrupt break in the continuity of a video scene created by editing out part of a shot or scene, which gives the effect of jumping forwards in time. By applying this effect, you can make your video feel like as if it moves at a faster pace.

5. Tilt-shift

Tilt-shift effect or miniature faking is a photographic genre which seems to become popular nowadays. This effect is always applied in the videos or images which are taken from far distance to give you a birds-eye-view perspective. So if you want to make the video look as if it's shooting a model set not a real world, try this great effect!

6. Pan and Zoom
