What's new in Sapphire Plug-ins
version 2 for Shake
New effects:
- FilmDamage simulates aged
film by adding scratches, dust, stains, grain, shake, flicker, etc.
to your clip.
- Rays produces light beams emitting from
the bright areas of an input clip.
- Cartoon gives cartoon-like
looks with exaggerated edges and flat areas of color.
- CartoonPaint is similar
to Cartoon, but uses a paint brushed version of the input.
(In the Cartoon plug-in.)
- Posterize generates a
contoured version of the input by limiting the number of colors in
the source, and replacing detailed texture and noise with solid
colors.
- BleachBypass generates a stylized
version of the source clip by simulating a bleach bypass process.
- DogVision generates a
dual color-channel version of the input image.
- Vignette darkens the outer
edges of a clip with various shape options.
- WarpMagnify simulates
a magnifying glass or lens over an area of the source clip.
(In the Warps plug-in.)
- Invert inverts the Luma, Chroma, Red,
Green, Blue, and/or the Alpha channel of the source clip, and
optionally remultiplies by the Alpha. (In the ColorOps plug-in.)
- TriTone generate a 3-color
version of the source clip. (In the ColorOps plug-in.)
- QuadTone is similar to
TriTone but generates a 4-color version of the source clip. (In the
ColorOps plug-in.)
- GradientRadial makes a
smooth radial color gradient in an ellipse shape.
(In the Gradient plug-in.)
- TextureMoire creates an
abstract Moire texture by adding together two patterns of concentric
rings. (In the Textures plug-in.)
- WipeRings performs a
transition using a pattern of concentric rings. (In the Wipes
plug-in.)
- WipeTiles performs a
transition using a pattern of growing or shrinking hexagons,
triangles, diamonds, or stars. (In the Wipes plug-in.)
- SwishPan
performs a transition by panning one image off and another on
with motion blur. (In the Wipes plug-in.)
- DissolveGlow performs a
transition while adding glow to both clips.
(In the Dissolves plug-in.)
- DissolveFilm performs
a transition in a film-like color space to preserve highlights
during the dissolve. (In the Dissolves plug-in.)
-
FeedbackDistort
generates interesting time based feedback effects while
distorting the trails using a second input clip.
