Description
Eleven all-new, affordable plug-ins which provide thousands of wonderfully fresh, highly-aesthetic, industry-first video effects. Includes many new types of color, blur, depth, grain, and time-based effects -- all completely customizable. All are designed as best-of-breed tools despite their affordable price. CreativEase also solves everyday editing problems such as selective sharpening/softening a clip (without tedious masking) such as to remove facial blemishes or to create beautiful dreamy looks, creating color-accurate smooth-edged animation directly from video, producing true glossy/shiny 3D titles, adding subtle filmic looks and film grains, cropping edge noise without stretching/bordering the image, and more.
Color Effects Pack
PosterWise
Posterize effects in video editing programs look like an afterthought -- only adding a basic ability to limit the quantity of colors in a scene. Color edges remain rough and unattractive, however, so the look is rarely useful. PosterWise in contrast is a CREATIVE break-through in posterize effects, giving you enormous customization power. The plug-in's advanced algorithms allow you to easily form everything from cartoon-like animations from video to beautiful abstract imagery.
ChromaWarp 2
Color effects are fairly standardized nowadays in most video editing systems, focusing on usual needs such as color correction, color elimination/retention, uniform tinting, and basic hue changes. For music videos, creative spots, experimental work, and other cutting-edge projects, however, a CREATIVE AND UNIQUE color effect is often needed -- which can be difficult to form with standard effects. That's when ChromaWarp 2.0 becomes handy, giving you the power to:
Blur Effects Pack
OrganiBlur
Built-in directional/radial blur effects typically blur only in one direction, outwardly, or as a spin. All have become overused effects. In contrast, OrganiBlur can create thousands of fresh ORGANIC blur effects AND creative fluid-like looks -- by borrowing technology from our popular SpiceMASTER plug-in.
BlurPro
Typical blur effects alter the entire scene and are difficult to effectively mask, limiting their usefulness for digital video. BlurPro combines several blurs and unique blend/mask tools into one plug-in, making it easy to SELECTIVELY SOFTEN your clips and/or create fresh animated blur effects. You can even use it to nicely SHARPEN scenes without introducing typical sharpening artifacts. BlurPro therefore is very versatile for digital video.
Depth Effects Pack
RiseShine
Although most video editing programs can apply depth to titles, such as bevels, the results tend to look "engineered" rather than artistic. Also, built-in lighting controls, if they exist at all, tend to provide unconvincing highlights and no ability to creatively gloss surfaces, unless you detour the title into complex motion graphics software. That's where the convenience and power of RiseShine pays big dividends. Instantly and easily add beautiful, realistic depth AND apply glossy/wet surface treatments as desired -- not only to titles, logos and graphics but ALSO to regular video clips!
FlowTexture
FlowTexture 2.0 is the next generation of our unique flowing displacement effect tool. It is much more powerful than standard displacement effects, which tend to be not very adjustable and only create a few kinds of (mostly unattractive/unusable) wave/ripple/emboss looks. FlowTexture instead creates fully-adjustable realistic water drops AND creates an almost infinite array of other liquid-like effects -- from abstract 'etchings' to amazing organic flows.
Grain Effects Pack
GrainPlus 2
Standard noise plug-ins are all similar -- not very customizable and with only limited usefulness for video. At the other end of the spectrum are third-party film-grain plug-ins which tend to be hard-to-learn, single-purpose and relatively expensive. GrainPlus is an affordable, versatile, easy-to-use alternative to both.
SpatterFlex
Spatter looks have been around for years, but are not compelling or useful because their grain tends to randomly appear UNIFORMLY over the ENTIRE image. Ugh. In contrast, SpatterFlex gives you wonderful Pixelan 'spices', our trademark adjustable softness, our industry-unique Mixer tool, and many other intuitive controls to give you complete creative control over the spatter look. That transforms spattering into a sensitive, organic, artistic tool for your video images -- as well as terrific distortions for titles and graphics.
Time Effects Pack
StepMotion 2
StepMotion is a simple but powerful plug-in for image ghosting, trailing, and other time-delay effects which are especially useful in high-motion footage. Unlike standard "echo" or "ghosting" effects that simply combine frames from two or more instances during a clip, !StepMotion can produce a more attractive, progressively-faded visual echo to motion in a scene.
StepTime 2
Standard "posterize time" effects output a lower frame rate to create a simple stop-action 'stutter' look to motion in a scene. Standard "echo" effects provide multiple "trailing" frame images but do not dissolve those attractively or flexibly.
