Video looks and effects: filters, aim, flip and rotate

Musaic has 15 video looks, from Cassette and Warm Vinyl to Noir, Comic and VHS, each with a Strength slider. You apply a look to one layer or to all layers, and with Aim you can grade only the person or only the background. Flip and Rotate fix a take that was filmed the wrong way round. Video FX are free.
