BoxBlur

This effect applies a boxblur on the selected image, whereby a pixel’s color is blurred by averaging the current pixel’s color with that of its neighboring pixels. The size of the neighborhood (the kernel) is defined by the strength parameter. The height and width parameter should be equal to the resolution of the image. If they are not the image will be blurrier.

Parameters

Mix[%]            Defines the visibility of the effect.
Width[px]        Defines the image width for the internal calculation.
Height[px]        Defines the image height for the internal calculation.
Strength            Defines how strongly the filter is applied.

 


Shockwave
This effect creates a shockwave like distortion on the image.
Parameters
Mix[%]            Defines the visibility of the effect.
Time            The time interval during which the shockwave travels is defined by placing two                keypoints on the Time-timeline. The speed of the shockwave depends on the                distance     between the keypoints and the difference between their values. If at 00:00:00             the value is set to 0.00 and at 00:10:00 the value is set to 2.00, two shockwaves will             travel from the center of the screen to the edges in 10s.
TimeMultiplier        Used to increase the speed and number of shockwaves during each time interval.

 


Solarize
This effect will invert all the color channels, whose values are above the threshold. If the ‘Below’ option is activated the color channels below the threshold will be inverted.
Parameters
Mix[%]            Defines the visibility of the effect.
Threshold        Lower bound for the scope of the effect.
Below            If activated color channels below the threshold will be inverted.

 


Isn’t there a better range for ‘Below’? It’s a bool value activated at 0.01 but goes from 0.00 to 1.00.

SolidColor
Fills the image with the chosen colors. Setting ‘Mix[%]’ to a value below 1.00 will change the overall color tone of the image, which leads to a similar result as ‘MultiplyColor’. It is also possible to modify only the alpha channel of the image.
Parameters
Mix[%]            Defines the visibility of the effect.
Red            Adds solid red to the whole image.
Green            Adds solid green to the whole image.
Blue            Adds solid blue to the whole image.
Alpha            Defines the transparency of the image.

 


Mix should be the first parameter.

Spill
This effect should be used after ‘ChromaKey’. It will change saturation and lightness of the pixels in the specified hue and lightness range. If there are any pixels left from keying a greenscreen with ‘ChromaKey’ they can be made less visible by this effect.
Parameters
Mix[%]            Defines the visibility of the effect.
Red            Defines the red value of the color that should be adjusted.
Green            Defines the green value of the color that should be adjusted.
Blue            Defines the blue value of the color that should be adjusted.
Lightness        Changes the lightness of all pixels with the chosen color.
Saturation        Changes the saturation of all pixels with the chosen color.
HueTolerance        Defines how much a color can differ from the set RGB-values and still be recognized             as the desired color.
LightnessTolerance    Defines how much the lightness of a color can differ from the desired color.


 


SplitColors
The red and blue values of a pixel will be mixed with the values of neighboring pixels.
Parameters
Strength            Defines the size of the neighborhood that is considered.
Angle[deg]        Defines in which direction the image is split up.
Mix[%]            Defines the visibility of the effect.

 


Swirl
This effect twists a point in the image, which also turns pixels in a defined neighborhood. It will result in a spiral-like pattern. An oscillating ‘Swirl’ can be achieved by setting the ‘Time’ parameter.
Parameters
Mix[%]            Defines the visibility of the effect.
PositionX        Defines the x-coordinate for the center of the effect (point of application).
PositionY        Defines the y-coordinate for the center of the effect.
Radius            Defines the neighborhood of the point of application affected by the effect.
Twist            Defines how strongly the point of application is twisted. A positive value will turn the             region clockwise, a negative value counterclockwise.
Time            The time interval during which the ‘Swirl’ oscillates is defined by placing two keypoints             on the Time-timeline. The speed of the oscillation depends on the distance between the             keypoints and the difference between their values.

 


Tiling
This effect shows the image multiple times on the screen in a tiled pattern. The scale of the image is decreased, and the now empty regions of the screen are filled with copies of the image in the same dimensions. Similar to zooming out. The effect uses the bottom left corner as center, if another center is needed it is advised to use ‘Zoom’.
Parameters
Mix[%]            Defines the visibility of the effect.
Factor            Defines the scale of one tile and thereby the number of tiles on the screen.

 


TriGradient
Creates a color gradient between three colors over the image. The transitions between the colors (edges) can be further specified.
Parameters
Mix[%]            Defines the visibility of the effect.
Position1[%]        Defines the position of the left edge.
Position2[%]        Defines the position of the right edge.
Width[%]        Defines the size of the edges and thereby the smoothness of the transitions between             the colors.
Strength[%]        Defines the opacity of the colors.
Angle            Defines the orientation of the edges.
Color 1 Red        Increases the red value on the left side of the image.
Color 1 Green        Increases the green value on the left side of the image.
Color 1 Blue        Increases the blue value on the left side of the image.
Color 1 Alpha        Modifies the transparency on the left side of the image.
Color 2 Red        Increases the red value in the section between the two edges.
Color 2 Green        Increases the green value in the section between the two edges.
Color 2 Blue        Increases the blue value in the section between the two edges.
Color 2 Alpha        Modifies the transparency of the image in-between the two edges.
Color 3 Red        Increases the red value on the right side of the image.
Color 3 Green        Increases the green value on the right side of the image.
Color 3 Blue        Increases the blue value on the right side of the image.
Color 3 Alpha        Modifies the transparency on the right side of the image.


 


TriNoise2
A layer of black triangular shapes is put on top of the image. If the ‘time’ parameter is used the triangles will move over the screen and are faded in and out following a fixed pattern creating noise.
Parameters
time            The time interval during which the triangles are faded in and out is defined by placing             two keypoints on the time-timeline. The speed of the animation depends on the             distance between the keypoints and the difference between their values.
amount            Defines the number of triangles that are laid over the image and thereby also their             size.
Mix[%]            The lower the value, the less transparent are the triangles. Increases the visibility of             the triangles from the screen borders to the center.

 

Since TrinNoise1 is no longer implemented, naming it just TriNoise might be more convenient.

Vignette
Classic vignette effect. Darkens the image from the screen borders to the center.
Parameters
Mix[%]            Defines the visibility of the effect.
Width[%]        Defines how far from the screen borders the darkened area reaches.

 


Zoom
Can be used to zoom in and out of content. Zooming out works similar to ‘Tiling’, with the difference that ‘Tiling’ uses the bottom left corner as the effects center point, whereby here the center can be chosen freely.
Parameters
Mix[%]            Defines the visibility of the effect.
xPosition        Defines the x-coordinate of the effects center point.
yPosition        Defines the y-coordinate of the effects center point.
Scale[%]        Defines the zooming factor. Values >1.00 will zoom in, values <1.00 will zoom out.
