The Highpass Sharpen effect is a HitFilm Pro exclusive.
Sharpening is a common application for highpass filtering. To create the sharpening, a duplicate of the layer is created, a highpass filter is applied to the duplicate, and the result is then blended back onto the original. All of this is handled internally by the Highpass Sharpening effect, greatly simplifying the process.
