# Amplify Tool
The Amplify tool magnifies small periodic motions so that they are more obvious to the eye. To enable Amplify select the **Amplify** tool and check **Enable**. Press **Play** to view the amplified motion.
The **Gain** slider may be used to vary the amount of amplification applied. It is best to keep the gain conservative since too much amplification can result in image distortion and noise enhancement.
The **Lowpass** filter can be used to reduce the noise in the image. Set the level to a compromise between satisfactory noise reduction and retaining visibility of the highest frequency motion.
If there is some bulk slow background movement in the clip the **Highpass** filter can be used to reduce amplification of this motion while retaining visibility of the higher frequency periodic vibrations. This can be effective if the camera was handheld when producing the clip.
The **Levels** steppers can sometimes be helpful in improving the visibility of certain scales of motion in the image, for instance by reducing the blurring on large objects in motion when the area of interest is a small object. In general leaving the values at their defaults provides best results.
For export purposes, the Amplify parameters can be included as an overlay on the exported clip. Select the parameters to overlay by checking the appropriate text overlay. The overlay can be dragged with the mouse and the size can be changed with the **Size** stepper.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.freeflysystems.com/products/products/ember-camera/ember-scientific-toolbox-app/amplify-tool.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
