Filters

A filter is the material your picture is made of.

The six filters

There are six, on the ring around the red button.

• DIGITAL: the picture as shot, until you drag it somewhere else.
• FILM: a soft color negative, with grain and a print's blacks.
• NOIR: rich black and white, with deep blacks and fine grain.
• SYNTH: shadows and highlights pushed into invented color.
• ROTOSCOPE: your footage traced into a color drawing, with ink lines.
• COMIC: a printed halftone of colored dots on warm newsprint.

Change filter

Turn the ring around the red button, or tap a filter on it. The filter's name shows for a moment, then leaves. A project remembers the filter you left it on.

Move the look

Every filter answers the same three gestures, each in its own way.

• Color filter: drag one finger on the picture.
• Lens filter: drag two fingers on the picture.
• Wear out filter: hold two fingers still, then drag. This is the filter falling apart: tape losing tracking, film getting dust and light leaks.

There is no slider. The picture itself shows where you are.

Remove filter

Shake the phone.

It stays in the clip

The look is recorded into the clip as you film. You cannot change a clip's filter afterward, and you cannot remove it. Each clip keeps the look it was filmed with, so one film can hold several.
