5 hot summer video effects and filters you cannot miss

Summer is the best season for creating atmospheric video clips with colorful effects. Vacation, BBQ, wedding, leisure time with family and any other long-awaited events can be your sweetest memory.

In this article, we’ll make an overview of the 5 top filters and video effects that you should consider when making a summer video. Applicable with just one click, they’re all available in AVS Video Editor for your Windows PC. 

1. Anaglyph 3D

Anaglyph 3D video effect is a visual technique used to create the illusion of three-dimensional depth by superimposing two distinct images, one in red and another in blue, to create a stereoscopic 3D effect when viewed through glasses with the corresponding red and blue filters. This has been a popular method of creating 3D effects, especially in movies and videos, for years. It can be an entertaining and immersive way to experience content and make it feel as if you’re a part of it.

2. Glow

Glow is a post-processing visual effect that adds a soft and radiant glow around the edges of objects or the entire scene. It creates a dreamy, ethereal, or magical look by adding a soft, glowing light to the video. The glow effect can be used to enhance the atmosphere, add a sense of depth, or draw attention to specific elements in the frame. It can be adjusted to vary in intensity, color, and size, depending on the desired effect. Glow effects are commonly used in music videos, fantasy or sci-fi films, and motion graphics to create a visually striking and captivating look.

3. Mosaic

Mosaic video effect is a post-production technique that pixelates part or all of a video by breaking it up into small boxes, creating an image that is reminiscent of a mosaic or a mosaic art piece. Mosaic effect can be used to hide sensitive information, obscure a person’s identity, or simply as a stylistic choice to add an element of mystery to the scene. This effect is a common technique used in video and film production and can be achieved using various video editing software available.

4. Background Blur

Blurring the sides of a vertical video is commonly done to create a cinematic or artistic effect and to reduce distractions from the background. It helps create the illusion of a wider aspect ratio, similar to traditional horizontal videos. As a result, the video appears more visually appealing and cinematic, enhancing the viewing experience.

For example, YouTube is a video sharing platform where most of the clips are horizontally oriented (except for Shorts). Before posting a vertical clip on YouTube, it’s recommended to blur black bars on both sides of a video. 

5. Yellow Magenta

This filter applies a combination of yellow and magenta color filters or color grading techniques to alter the appearance of the video. Adding a yellow filter can enhance warm tones and create a more nostalgic or vintage look. Meanwhile, a magenta filter can emphasize red and purple tones, creating a cooler or more dramatic atmosphere.

However, specific usage and interpretation of yellow magenta filters may vary depending on the context and purpose of the video.
