Using Filters

▪These functions basically work wherever a matrix is used, which is the case with the MAS Script Effect, Macros for Effects, the Storage Place Macro, and the Global Macro. Insert one of these functions into PostRenderEffect in order to use it.

▪Filters are useful tools to manipulate every MADRIX effect, videos, and images.

Filter Constants
