New Filters?

[Rusty]

While I'm waiting on 4.52 to download, I hoped to find out what (if anything) others are doing with some of the new(er) filters.

Matrix, what the...

Median, does it do anything? I don't see it.

Channel Select, (no cooking channel here) white, or not?

I'm using this one as part of a two step process to output alpha channel video with the HQ codec.

The inbuilt help actually gives you an idea of what the filters do and how/why they are used.

MATRIX - You could use this filter for a posterized look (not very cool though) but I could only get it working with normalize switched off.

SELECT CHANNEL - Like the other dude said, good for exporting Alphas :)

MEDIAN - I'm guessing this kinda like PS's median blur, but its pretty useless. I noticed its ok for blurring or softening over exposed portions of the video. Could come in handy.

SMOOTH BLUR!!!!!!! - I didn't know that was there!!!! Its WAY better than crappy plain old BLUR. Sweet :)

Anyone made some cool presets using combine filter? I've got some blurred white flashes and things, that option is cool.

Matrix filter can be used for a number of useful and not-so-useful effects. The problem is you have to understand image processing matrices to use it, which most folks don't understand (including me).

It's essentially a "roll your own" filter.

A few of the other filters we have are born out of this filter. Emboss is one example.
