VJPLUGIN 1.00

acid()

Brightness to hue: from hue (degrees) round the colour wheel cycles times (negative runs the other way) as the picture brightens, gamma under 1 spending more of the turn on the shadows, at full saturation, the brightest parts washed to white: the acid heat camera.

adaptiveCut()

A hard black and white cut that follows the footage: each pixel is cut against the mean brightness of a wide patch round it (reach, a fraction of the frame height), times bias, so bright footage and dark footage both split into big black and white shapes instead of going all white or all black.

acidHeat()

Acid heat camera.

1 and 4 soft blobs, folded; 2 sharp, warm shadows; 3 sharp, teal shadows.

fold()

One half folded onto the other. axis 0: left onto right, 1: top onto bottom. box is the picture on the canvas ([x, y, w, h], px); without it, the whole canvas.

grainyBW()

Grainy black and white.

1 soft and high-key, 5 high-key with grain; 2-4 a hard cut that follows the footage's brightness (3 and 4 folded), 6 the cut smeared down.

nightVision()

Night vision: lime phosphor with lifted blacks, a little noise.

1-5 smeared by the camera's move, 6 still.

screenGlow()

Screen glow: the picture's own colours pushed bright and blue-cyan into a big bloom.

1-3 bright (3 soft), 7 deep blue and crushed, 8 nearly clean, a little cool; 4-6 are 1 with room for an overlay (FLASH_OVERLAY).

streak()

A blur along one direction (degrees), as a fast pan or a shake smears it.

halftonePoster()

The halftone look as layer effects: the layer printed as ink dots on paper.

crt()

A colour tube: curved glass, scanlines, aperture grille, misconvergence, a rolling bar, static and dark corners.

depthLook()

A depth map's look: near is white, far is black, smooth, no texture.

Brightness stands in for nearness.

lookEffects()

The effects for a vjLookSchema value (from the Studio panel): <Layer effects={lookEffects(look)}>.

oneBit()

One bit a pixel: grey, hard contrast, an ordered dither in cells of size px, printed in ink on paper.

pixels()

A magnifier: blocks, then red, green and blue subpixel stripes as the zoom grows.

switchOff()

The tube switching off over t 0..1, as crt()'s offx and offy: the picture folds to a bright line over the first 60%, and the line to a dot over the rest.

Spread it into the options: crt({ ...switchOff(t) }).

thermal()

A thermal camera's palette on the picture's brightness, a little soft.

vhs()

A worn tape: line wobble, late smeared colour, a head-switch tear, a drifting tracking band, snow and dropouts.

blobsAt()

The blobs on composition frame frame (at fps) of a clip that starts on frame from, scaled to width x height.

The track may run at another rate than the composition: it is read by time. Past the clip's end: none.

linksOf()

cameraAt()

The camera on frame: eased between the keys, held before the first and after the last.

pointAt()

The tracked point on composition frame frame (at fps) of a clip that starts on from, scaled to width x height; held at the first or last point outside the clip.

IRON

A thermal camera's palette (iron: cold violet through red to white-hot), a little soft as such sensors are.

RAINBOW

The other common one: cold blue through green to hot red and white.

FLASH_OVERLAY

Which screen-glow variants lay an overlay on (screen blend), and how strongly.

The overlay is the caller's.

LOOK_KINDS

The looks lookEffects knows, none included.

blobStyleSchema

How <Blobs> marks the blobs: its props other than the track.

Spread it into <Blobs>.

vjLookSchema

One look and the settings of each, so switching looks keeps what was set on the others.
