video filter

Digital image modifier

A video filter is a processing effect applied to video footage that alters its appearance—adjusting color, contrast, sharpness, or adding stylized effects.

Social media platforms popularized filters that transform ordinary clips: She used a vintage filter to make the video look like old film.

In technical contexts, video filters can reduce noise, stabilize footage, or compress data for streaming.
