BCC+ Two Strip

Category: BCC Film Style

Effect Name: BCC+ Two Strip

The BCC+ Two Strip filter simulates the Technicolor® Two Strip process, which was the first stab at producing color motion pictures and consisted of simultaneously photographing two black and white images using red and green filters.

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 Browser™.
• 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.

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.

• View Sets the viewer to display different aspects of the filter.
  • Output: Displays the full RGB color channel and the final output of the filter.
  • Red: Displays the red color channel only.
  • Green: Displays green color channel only
  • Blue: Displays blue color channel only
• Opacity: Sets the intensity of the of the effect.

Strips Group

• Red Intensity: Sets red values in the image.
• Red Smooth: Blurs the red matte that is used to isolate the red values. Use this control to smooth out any noise that may appear if the Red Intensity is turned up to a high value.
• Green Intensity: Sets green values in the image.
• Green Smooth: Blurs the green matte that is used to isolate the green values. Use this control to smooth out any noise that may appear if the Green Intensity is turned up to a high value.
• Blue Intensity: Sets blue values in the image.
• Blue Smooth: Blurs the blue matte that is used to isolate the blue values. Use this control to smooth out any noise that may appear if the Blue Intensity is turned up to a high value.

Color Correct Group

• Hue: Rotates the hue of the image.
• Saturation: Sets the saturation of the image.
• Brightness: Sets the brightness of the image.
• Contrast: Sets the contrast of the image.
• Gamma: Sets the gamma of the image. The gamma adjustment leaves the white and black points the same and only modifies the values in-between.

• 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.
• GPU Rendering:Specifies how the effect is rendered.
  • Default: Uses product-wide default of 16 bit half-float GPU rendering.
  • 16 Bit Float: Manually force 16 bit half-float GPU rendering.
  • 32 Bit Float: Manually force 32 bit full-float GPU rendering.
  • Disabled: Forces CPU rendering.
