Filtering controls the method by which the Avid Pan & Zoom effect renders and determines the quality of the rendered result. The various filtering methods allow you to trade off the clarity or sharpness of the resized image and the speed at which the effect renders.

The following illustration ranks the Filtering options from fastest render time and lowest quality image to longest render time and highest quality image. For more information, see Options for Rendering the Avid Pan & Zoom Effect.
