Sapphire Plug-ins for AVX2: PrismLens

S_PrismLens

Emulates recording footage through prismatic lenses with various different shapes.

In the Sapphire Stylize category.


Inputs:

Source: The current track. The clip to combine the gradient image with.

Reflection: Optional. The clip to use for the reflection. If no input is connected, the source will be used for the reflection.

Background: Optional. Composites the Source and gradient over this clip.

Mask: Optional. If provided, the mask may control one of two things. By default, the mask will control the area affected by PrismLens. If 'Use Mask For' is changed to 'Shape', then the mask will be used on calculating the shape used for the Reflections.

Parameters:

Load Preset: Push-button .
Brings up the Preset Browser to browse all available presets for this effect.

Save Preset: Push-button .
Brings up the Preset Save dialog to save a preset for this effect.

Mode: Popup menu,  Default: PrismLensSingle .
The clip to combine the gradient image with.
PrismLensSingle: Generates a single reflection.

Scales the brightness of the gradient image (both the Start Color and End Color).

Chromatic Steps: Integer,  Default: 12, Range: 3 to 100.

Scales the brightness of the gradient image (both the Start Color and End Color).

Glow Threshold: Default: 0.6, Range: 0 or greater.
Prisms are generated from locations in the source clip that are brighter than this value. A value of 0.9 causes prisms at only the brightest spots. A value of 0 causes prisms for every non-black area.

Glow Width: Default: 0.2, Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the glow distance. This and all the width parameters can be adjusted using the Width Widget. Note that a zero glow width still enhances the bright areas; set the brightness parameter to zero if you want to pass the Source through unchanged.

Width Red: Default: 1, Range: 0 or greater.

Difference: the result is the difference between the source and gradient.
Overlay: combines gradient and source using an overlay function.

Lights: Default: 0, Range: 0 or greater.

Blur Mask: Default: 0.05, Range: any.
Blurs the Mask input by this amount before using. This can provide a smoother transition between the masked and unmasked areas. It has no effect unless the Mask input is provided.

Invert Mask: Check-box,  Default: off.
If on, inverts the mask input so the effect is applied to areas where the Mask is black instead of white. This has no effect unless the Mask input is provided.

Affect Alpha: Default: 1, Range: 0 or greater.
If this value is positive the output Alpha channel will include some opacity from the prisms. The maximum of the red, green, and blue prism brightness is scaled by this value and combined with the background Alpha at each pixel.
