<p>What do you consider a high-pass filter for videos if I may ask?</p>

<p>When talking about audio, the high pass filter operates similar to a low-cut, in that it cuts away the lowest frequencies of the audio spectrum and lets the high frequencies pass.</p>

<p>Are you looking for curves? You can adjust the shadows and the highlights of an image (which wouldn't be called high-pass or something similar tho). You can do that using lumetri color. However, comparing to a high-pass, low-cut, low-pass or high-cut, the curves don't actually cut away the brightest or darkest areas, that way you would blow out the highs and crush the blacks, which would result in a fault, not really a stylistic choice but rather actually breaking the image.</p>

<p>If you tell us what you want to achieve with this filter we might be able to tell you the correct name and where to find it.</p>

Photoshops High Pass Filter selects all edges so you can only apply sharpening to those.

The video I want to apply a high pass filter is one which is generated from a kind of scientific instrument and contains scientific data. Each frame of the video has high-frequency patterns, signals I care about, and low-frequency patterns, the noise. To extract the high-frequency patterns from each frame of the movie, I want to apply a high-pass filter in PremierePro. If it's impossible, I would convert the video into a bunch of still frames and take them to Photoshop and apply the high-pass filter in Photoshop. Then, let Premiere Pro load the images as a sequence and export as a video.

<p>What I want to do is putting in high-pass filter effect on each image constituting a video by using Adobe Premiere Pro 13.1.2.</p>

<p>Premiere Pro has a high-pass filter for audios but it does not have a high-pass filter for videos as far as I can see.
Photoshop does.</p>

<p>I also have AfterEffects; the way to use it is welcome as well.</p>

<p>Any idea?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
