Overview

Graduated Lens Filters is a Final Cut Pro plugin that recreates the look of graduated camera filters, so you can create beautiful, dramatic looks without buying expensive filters for your camera.

Position and rotate the gradient with the master controls, then set two filters, each with its own position, opacity and color, to darken a bright sky or add a colored wash.

Contrast, brightness and a tint with its own color and intensity finish the look.

Built-in tips in the Inspector help you get started.
