Box 2: Stylize Effects

[edit]

AutoPaint & HalfTone

AutoPaint - Generates a 'paint?brushed' version of the source clip.
Sketch - Generates a version of the input with a hand drawn sketched look.
Etching - Generates a version of the source clip using two sets of black and white lines of varying thickness to give an 'etching' or 'lithograph' look.
Cartoon - Gives cartoon-like looks with exaggerated edges and flat areas of color.
Cartoon Paint - Is similar to Cartoon, but uses a paint brushed version of the input.
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.
HalfTone - Generates a duotone version of the source clip using a black and white pattern of dots.
HalfToneColor - Generates a version of the source clip using a colored dot pattern.
HalfToneRings - Generates a duotone version of the source clip using a repeating pattern of concentric rings.

[edit]

Kaleidoscopes

Kaleido:Triangles - Reflects the source clip into a pattern of equilateral triangles.
Kaleido:Squares - Reflects the source clip into a pattern of squares.
Kaleido:Diamonds - Reflects the source clip into a pattern of diamonds.
Kaleido:Oct - Reflects the source clip into an octagonal pattern of right triangles.
KaleidoPolar - Warps the source clip around in a disk shape and reflects radially as if viewed through a reflecting cylinder.
FlysEyeCircles - Breaks the image into circle shaped tiles and transforms the image within each shape, to create a fly's eye view effect.
FlysEyeHex - Breaks the image into hexagon shaped tiles and transforms the image within each shape, to create a fly's eye view effect.
FlysEyeRect - Breaks the image into rectangle shaped tiles and transforms the image within each shape, to create a fly's eye view effect.
TileScramble - Scrambles the clip into rectangular tiles.

[edit]

FilmEffect & Grain

FilmEffect - Provides a physically accurate model of film exposure and processing to make your video footage look like it was shot on film.
FilmDamage - Simulates aged film by adding scratches, dust, stains, grain, shake, flicker, etc. to your clip.
Vignette - Darkens the outer edges of a clip with various shape options.
BleachBypass - Generates a stylized version of the source clip by simulating a bleach bypass process.
Grain - Adds color and/or monochrome grain to the source clip. Amplitude and frequency parameters allow adjusting the grain texture independently for all colors together, each color channel, or black and white grain.
GrainStatic - Adds color and/or monochrome random noise of given amplitudes to every pixel of the source clip. Unlike the other Grain effects, there is no coherency of the grain between pixels, so the resulting look will vary with different output resolutions.
Diffuse - Scrambles the pixels of the source input within an area determined by the Diffuse Amount.

[edit]

Edge Effects

EdgeDetect - Finds the edges within the source clip. Increase the Edge Smooth parameter for thicker edges.
EdgeDetectDouble - Performs an edge detect operation twice giving a double stranded edge effect. Increase the Edge Smooth parameters for thicker edges.
EdgesInDirection - Finds the edges of the source input that are aligned in a specified direction. Increase the Edge Smooth parameter for thicker edges.
EdgeColorize - Assigns different colors to the edges of the source clip depending on their direction. Increase the Edge Smooth parameter for thicker edges.

[edit]

Embossing

Emboss - Embosses the Source clip using the brightness of the Bumps input as a relief map.

EmbossShiny - Embosses the Source clip using the Bumps input as a relief map.

EmbossDistort - Embosses and warps the Source clip using the Bumps input as a relief map and also distorts the result using the Bumps as a 'lens' image.

EmbossGlass - The Source is embossed and warped using the Bumps input as a relief map and lens image.

[edit]

Other Stylize

BandPass - Generates an X-ray like effect using a band-pass filter.
DogVision - Generates a dual color-channel version of the input image.
JpegDamage - Creates a version of the Source input that is subjected to Jpeg compression artifacts and errors. This can be used to give various looks of low quality digital transmissions.
Mosaic - Generates a pixelated version of the source clip.
PseudoColor - Colorizes the source image. The hue is calculated from the brightness of the source.
PsykoBlobs - Combines the source clip with a field of 'blob' shapes and then passes them through a colorization process.
PsykoStripes - Combines the source clip with a stripe pattern and then passes them through a colorization process.
ScanLines - Creates a version of the source clip with scan line pattern resembling a color TV monitor.
ScanLinesMono - A monochrome version of !ScanLines. Creates a version of the source clip with scan lines pattern resembling a black and white TV monitor.
Solarize - Inverts the colors of the input clip that are brighter than the Threshold value, to create a 'solarization' effect.
Zebrafy - Modulates the brightness of the source clip with a sinusoid to give a black and white solarized look.
ZebrafyColor - Modulates the brightness of the source clip with sinusoids for each color channel to give a color striped effect.
ZFogExponential - Mixes a fog color into the source clip using depth values from a ZBuffer input. The fog starts at Z Near and increases exponentially to Z Far at a rate depending on the Fog Density.
ZFogLinear - Mixes a fog color into the source clip using depth values from a ZBuffer input. The fog amount varies linearly between Fog Near and Fog Far as the depth varies between Z Near and Z Far.
