Filters and rasterization

Filters and rasterization

The application of some filters can cause a group to be rasterized. When a group is rasterized, it is converted into a bitmap image. In 2D groups, the application of any filter causes rasterization. In 3D groups, the application of specific filters causes rasterization. For more information on rasterization and 3D groups, see Groups and rasterization.

The following filters force rasterization of 3D groups:

Blur filters

  • Circle Blur

  • Compound Blur

  • Defocus

  • Gradient Blur

  • Radial Blur

  • Variable Blur

  • Zoom Blur

Border filters

All Border filters force rasterization of 3D groups.

Color Correction filters

No color correction filters cause rasterization of 3D groups.

Distortion filters

All Distortion filters force rasterization of 3D groups.

Glow filters

  • Gloom

  • Light Rays

  • Outer Glow

  • Overdrive

Keying and Matting filters

  • Keyer

  • Luma Keyer

  • Matte Magic
