I am applying 3 FX filters to converted Hi8 tapes.

They are:

Color Correction

Brightness & Contrast

NeatVideo

Is there any general rule as to which filter should be applied first?

thanks...alan

Yes, the order can matter. The second one will see the frame AFTER the first one is applied and so forth. BTW, you probably really don't want the "brightness and contrast" effect. Try adjusting the gamma and other settings in the color corrector instead.

Yeah, either that or use the Curves instead.
