Build your video look

Light & color

Balance brightness, contrast and color before styling.

Bloom & halation

Diffuse bright highlights or add a warm light halo.

Blur & detail

Soften the frame or define existing edges.

Grain & vignette

Add moving film texture and gently shape the edges.

A convincing finish starts with the footage you have. Balance the light and color first, then add diffusion or texture in small amounts. Compare several moments in the clip: a setting that suits one bright frame may be too strong when the subject moves into shadow.

Exposure changes overall brightness, while contrast separates lighter and darker tones. Temperature and tint help balance a warm, cool, green or magenta cast. Saturation adjusts color intensity. Check skin, neutral objects and skies while you work. Strong corrections can reveal compression or clip tones; they cannot restore detail already missing from the recording.

Bloom spreads light outward from brighter parts of the frame. Start with a small amount, then adjust the threshold and spread so lamps, reflections or sunlight soften without washing out the whole shot. Halation adds a warmer halo around bright boundaries for a film-inspired effect. It is a stylized simulation, not a reconstruction of a particular film stock or lens.

Gaussian blur softens the entire frame; it does not track a face or conceal a selected object. Sharpening increases local edge contrast and can make existing texture clearer, but high values may create halos or emphasize compression. It is not AI detail recovery. Neither effect recreates camera motion blur, stabilizes shaky footage or synthesizes intermediate frames.

Film grain adds a changing texture to the image. Judge its strength during playback as well as on a paused frame, especially in shadows and flat backgrounds. A vignette changes brightness toward the edges to guide attention toward the subject. Keep it restrained when a subject moves through the corners. Added grain is a creative effect, not noise removal or a way to repair damaged video.

How to add effects to a video

Open your clip
Choose a video from your device or try a sample below. Start with an SDR clip and keep the original file for future edits.
Adjust and compare
Choose a look or move individual sliders. Play the clip and compare the original with your adjustments before choosing the final strength.
Export your video
Choose MP4 or WebM, an available resolution and whether to keep audio. Wait for export to finish, then check the downloaded video and sound before sharing.

Video filters and effects: common questions

Yes. Light, color, bloom, halation, blur, sharpening, grain and vignette can be combined in one look. Presets give you a starting point; individual controls let you refine it. Work from broad corrections to finishing touches and compare with the original regularly. Combining strong blur, bloom and grain can hide useful detail, so a lower setting on each often works better.

Bloom creates a soft spread of light around highlights. Halation adds a warmer glow around bright boundaries, inspired by light scattering in photographic film. Use bloom for softer lamps, reflections or sunlit windows, and halation for a subtle warm edge. Both change the look of existing pixels; neither recovers highlight detail that was clipped in the source.

Start with a low amount and check both playback and a paused frame. Grain that looks subtle in a small preview may become obvious at a larger size, while video compression can soften or break up fine texture. Compare faces, shadows and flat skies rather than judging one patch alone. The grain changes with the clip’s timeline, so it reads as moving texture rather than a fixed overlay.

Open an SDR MP4, MOV or WebM up to 60 seconds and 200 MiB. The codecs inside the file must be supported by your browser; the extension alone is not enough. Export uses H.264 MP4 or VP9/VP8 WebM where available, at up to 1080p or 720p without enlarging the source. HDR, Log, wide-gamut and transparent footage are outside this tool’s scope. Convert them to an ordinary SDR clip first and keep your original file.

Keep audio includes compatible source tracks or converts them when the browser supports it. If audio cannot be preserved, the tool reports the limitation instead of silently removing it; try another format or explicitly choose Remove audio. The preview’s mute button only changes what you hear while editing. Always play the downloaded result to check sound and synchronization.

Opening a file from your device, previewing effects and downloading the result are processed in your browser. These edits do not require a cloud render or AI generation credits. If you are signed in and choose a video from your YouArt assets, that file is fetched to your device. This tool downloads the finished video locally; it does not save the result to your account.

Preview and export apply the same effect settings. The preview may be displayed at a smaller size, while export also includes video encoding, which can change fine grain, edges and color slightly. Inspect a short downloaded clip at its intended viewing size before processing a longer one. The screen, player and output compression can all affect the final appearance.

Reset all returns this editing session to the original look without overwriting your source file. You can then build a different combination of effects. It cannot reliably reverse filters, grain, blur or color changes already baked into a video before you opened it. For that, return to the original unprocessed footage whenever possible.
