BCC MultiTone Mix
Category: BCC Color & Tone
Effect Name: BCC MultiTone Mix
The BCC MultiTone Mix filter, part of the BCC Color & Tone category, uses the source imageโs color, luma, or alpha information to create a toned image that uses up to five independent colors. MultiTone Mix works by creating a color map based on a specific channel in the source image, then replacing each color range in the map with a new color.
Working with the Filter
Presets and Common Controls
- BCC filters come with a library of factory installed presets plus the ability to create your own custom presets and preview them with the BCC FX Browserโข.
- BCC filters also include common controls that configure global effect preferences and other host-specific effect settings.

Effect Controls
Mocha Mask and Track
Continuum effects include integrated masking and matte tools that allow you to restrict the effect to specific regions of the image.
- Mocha masks: used to create custom spline masks. Mocha also includes Matte Assist ML and Matte Refine ML, which use machine learning to generate and track masks.
- Pixel Chooser: used to generate geometric shapes, gradients, or mattes based on channel, luma, or color-based selections. Additionally, an AI depth map generator, and an AI-powered face detection model allow for precise control of masks and mattes.
Note: Mocha can also be used to drive geometric parameters. See the Mocha Motion Tracker documentation for details.
For more information, see Mocha and Pixel Chooser.
Compare Mode
The Compare Mode is used to view the filtered result alongside the original source layer. Several split-screen and side-by-side display options are available.
For more information, see Compare Mode.
- Black Source: Sets the media used to replace black pixels in the Input Channel.
- Black Color: Sets the color output for pixels whose Input Channel value is 0.
- Source 1, Midpoint Source, Source 3: Set the sources used to replace intermediate pixels.
- White Source: Sets the source used to replace white pixels in the Input Channel.
For each Source menu you can choose:
- Color: Uses the corresponding selected color parameter.
- Layer 1 / Layer 2: Uses color information from the selected source layers.
- Off: Eliminates the corresponding input level from the composite image (not available for Black or White).
Note: The Black Color, White Color, Color 1, Midpoint Color, and Color 3 colors are used in the output only if the corresponding Source menu is set to Color.
- Source 1 Level: Sets the input channel value for which the output is the pure Color 1 color.
- Midpoint Level: Sets the input channel value for which the output is the pure Midpoint color.
- Source 3 Level: Sets the input channel value for which the output is the pure Color 3 color.
- Source Layer 1 / Source Layer 2: Set the source clip or layer used for any source(s) set to Layer 1 or Layer 2.
- Input Channel: Specifies the channel used to create the color map. Choices include Luma, Red, Green, Blue, and their Inverse variants.
- Output Channels: Specifies which channels are processed and output. Choices include RGB combinations and Difference.
- Mix with Original: Blends the source and filtered images. Use this parameter to animate the effect from the unfiltered to the filtered image without adjusting other settings, or to reduce the effect of the filter by mixing it with the source image.
