User Guide
Brightness and Contrast Adjusts the brightness and contrast of the track. The default value is 0. Values between 100
and 0 decrease the brightness and contrast; values between 0 and 100 increase the brightness and contrast.
Color Style Lets you apply two color change effects to a single track. Both effects process the red, green, and blue
components of each pixel independently. You can set these options:
• Solarization
Adjusts the color balance of the source track by generating a table of replacement color values from
two parameters. The table values start at zero intensity and increase to the maximum intensity at the peak point.
After that, the values fall back to zero. You can change the Solarize Amount, the intensity of the solarization table,
and the Solarize Point (the peak point of the solarization table).
• Posterization
Reduces the number of colors in an image by replacing all pixels with colors in a consecutive range
within the middle color from that range. This helps to control color banding. Posterize Amount determines the
number of colors that are grouped and replaced with the mid-range color.
Color Tint Converts the track to grayscale, and then applies a light and a dark color to the image. The light color
replaces the white in the grayscale image, and the dark color replaces the black. The end result is a tinted duochrome
version of the source image. Tint Type lets you select from a choice of five different tints, including Black and White,
X-Ray, Sepia, Cobalt, and Other. Other enables these options:
•
Light or Dark Color
Replaces the white or black of the grayscale image.
•
Brightness
Adjusts the brightness of the source between -255 (all colors replaced with black) and 255 (all colors
replaced with white).
• Contrast
Adjusts the contrast of the source between -128 (minimum contrast) and 128 (maximum contrast).
ColorSync
(Mac OS only) Adjusts the color balance of an image to match a specified color sync profile. Typically,
you would use this to adjust the color profile of an image to match the current display device. This option lets you
maintain accurate color representations across devices. You specify both the color sync profile of the source image
and the color sync profile of the destination device the image is displayed on. You can select these options:
•
Source profile for the source image.
• Destination profile for the target device.
•
Matching Option for adjusting converted colors: Peripheral (photos), Saturation (graphics), Absolute Colorimetic
(logos), Relative Colorimetic (logos).
Edge Detection
Applies an edge detection convolution to a single track. The performance of the edge detection is
determined by the convolution kernel, which is a matrix of values applied to each pixel of the source to produce the
resulting image. You can select these options:
• Edge thickness
Specifies the width of the edges. The larger the value, the thicker the edges in the resulting image.
• Colorize Result
Colorizes the edges based on the color of the source pixels around them. Deselect this option to
render edges as light gray against a dark gray background.
Emboss
Applies an emboss convolution to a single track. The higher the value, the heavier the embossing effect.
Film Noise
Simulates effects that are seen on aged film stock. Use this option to make a video source appear as if it
has suffered the effects of age and wear. The Film Noise effect offers the options of hairs and scratches: Hairs simulate
hairs lying on the surface of the film, and scratches simulate vertical or near-vertical one-pixel scratch lines. You can
adjust five parameters to control the visual impression:
• Hair Density
Controls the number of hairs that are drawn on each frame and the frequency with which they
appear.
•
Hair Length
Specifies the maximum length (in pixels) of the hairs being drawn.
