Atmospheric Glow is a glow style mega-filter that brings instant atmospheric looks to an otherwise flat scene. Based around a film glow, this effect includes 9 independently controlled groups, including volumetric light rays, a smoke/fog generator, light flickering, chromatic aberration, optical orbs, film grain and a vignette, each of which adds a new element to the scene.

Light.

To select a preset, choose one from the Presets tab.

Sets the intensity of the glow.

Sets the color of the glow.

Determines how much the glow spreads to surrounding regions.

Sets the pixel values that are affected by the glow. A value of 0 applies the glow to the entire image while a setting of 100 results in no glow.

Generates the glow from the alpha channel instead of or in addition to the color channels.

Composites the image over the glow.

Determines how the edges of the frame are handled.

Allows the edge of the result to become transparent.

Repeats edge pixels to generate opaque pixels along the edge of the result.

Reflects pixels along the edge of the result.

Portions of the image that move off the edge of the frame reappear on the opposite side.

Enables independent scaling of the glow for the red, green, and blue channels.

Scales the red glow uniformly.

Scales the green glow uniformly.

Scales the blue glow uniformly.

Controls how the glow is combined with the image.

Enables the flicker.

Sets the flicker before or after the glow effect is applied.

Sets the intensity of the red flicker.

Sets the intensity of the green flicker.

Sets the intensity of the blue flicker.

Sets the flicker type.

Generates curved pulsing flickers that fade in and out.

Generates sharp flickers that flash on and off.

Sets the flicker style.

The flicker will consist of bright flashes only.

The flicker will consist of dark dropouts only.

The flicker alternates between bright flashes and dark dropouts with a flat interval between each of the bright and dark light spikes.

Sets the random timing of the flicker. Higher values create a more random application of flickers, whereas a value of zero will create flickers that appear at consistent intervals.

Sets the random timing of the intensity of the flicker. Higher values create more variation in intensity between each of the flickers. A value of zero causes all the flickers to be applied with the same intensity.

Sets the randomness of the flicker.

Controls if and when the preview graph is displayed.

The preview curve is disabled.

The preview curve is displayed over black.

The preview curve is displayed over the image.

Defines the time range of the preview graph with a maximum of 30 seconds.

Sets the color of the rays.

Blurs the rays.

Controls the amount of rays based on a brightness threshold. Fewer rays with more definition are generated at higher threshold values.

The rays are generated from the alpha channel instead of the RGB channels. In this case, the rays will not use color from the image and will typically be brighter. Values between 0 and 100 interpolate between using the RGB and the alpha.

Composites the image over the rays.

Generates fog and smoke.

Enables the fog and smoke.

Controls how the fog is composited.

Composites the smoke and fog prior to applying the glow.

Sets the smoky rays black level.

Sets the smoky rays white level.

Mixes the smoke/fog back into the clip.

Sets the speed of the smoke.

Sets the opacity of the smoke.

Sets the contrast of the smoke.

Sets the color of the smoke.

Adjusts the random motion of the smoke. Lower values produce more random movement, whereas higher values cause the smoke to move in a specific direction.

Sets the scale of the smoke.

Set the intensity of the smoke.

Sets the opacity of the fog.

Sets the scale of the fog.

Sets the contrast of the fog.

Sets the fog color.

Sets the gamma of the fog.

Sets the speed of the fog.

Fog is applied to the alpha areas of the image.

Determines the blend mode used to add the fog.

Sets the randomness of the fog.

Generates chromatic aberration where the RGB light is split in a way that emulates poor quality glass or plastic lenses.

Enables the prism effect.

Sets the amount of the prism effect.

Sets the smoothness of the prism. Lower values generate a more visible stepped offset, while higher values produce a smooth continuous prism.

The first color in the prism.

The second color in the prism.

The third color in the prism.

Enables the grain.

When enabled, the grain is monochrome. In this mode, parameters that have no effect are grayed out.

The Size parameter controls the size of the grain. The larger the Size setting, the larger the grain will be.

The Amount parameters set the red, green and blue intensities of the grain. Film stocks generally have varying amounts of red, green and blue intensities with the blue intensity generally higher than the rest. If you set the red, green and blue amount to a value of 0, the grain will disappear.

Controls the intensity of the red grain.

Controls the intensity of the green grain.

Controls the intensity of the blue grain.

Controls the softness of the grain. Normally, only minor softness adjustments are necessary, usually between a value of 0-1.

The Film Response parameters control where you will see grain in the image. In most cases, film grain is apparent over the entire image except the brightest whites with the black areas being the most affected.

Position defines the portions of the image where grain will be added. A low Position value places grain in the darkest image values, while a high Position value places grain in the brightest areas.

Increases or decreases the area where grain is added to the image based on the Position value. A low Range value indicates a narrow range of values, while a high Range value indicates a large range of values.

Sets the minimum level of grain that is always added to the image.

Animates the grain from frame to frame.

Randomizes the grain.

Emulates the look of moisture on the surface of a camera lens.

Enables the orbs.

Sets the area covered with orbs. Higher values result in orbs covering more of the image.

Inverts the illumination and alters the area in which the orbs appear.

Sets the feathering of the orb edge. Higher values produce a softer edge.

Sets the apparent depth blur of the orbs in Z space. Higher values cause the orbs to appear out of focus.

Randomizes the depth blur sorting of the orbs in Z space. Higher values create a more randomized blur.

Sets the opacity of the orbs. Higher values produce a more opaque result.

Randomizes the intensity of the orbs.

Sets the X/Y position of the light source in relation to the orbs.

Sets the scale of the orbs.

Randomizes the scale of the orbs.

Sets the color of the orbs.

Randomize the orb color.

Sets the speed of the orbs.

Adjusts the random motion of the orbs. Lower values produce more random movement, whereas higher values cause the orbs to move in a specific direction.

Sets the intensity of the orb flickering. Higher values result in a brighter, more intense flicker.

Sets the orb flickering speed.

Randomizes the orb flickering. Higher values result in more random intervals between flickers while lower values create more regular flickering.

Sets the overall smoothness of the orb flickering. A higher value results in smoother animation, while lower values result in sharper animation.

Sets the randomness of the orbs.

Enables post color correction.

Rotates the hue of the image.

Adjusts the saturation of the image. Positive values saturate, negative values desaturate.

Adjusts the brightness of the image. Positive values brighten, negative values darken.

Adjusts the contrast of the image. Positive values increase contrast, negative values decrease contrast.

Adjusts the gamma of the image. The gamma adjustment leaves the white and black points the same and only modifies the values in-between. Positive values lighten the midtones, negative values darken the midtones.

Sets the color of the image to be either warmer or cooler. Dragging the numeric field to the right makes the image cooler (bluer) and dragging the numeric field to the left makes the image warmer (redder).

Adds either Cyan or Magenta to the image. Dragging the numeric field to the right makes the image more magenta and dragging the numeric field to the left makes the image more cyan.

Adds or subtracts red from the image.

Adds or subtracts green from the image.

Adds or subtracts blue from the image.

Enables the vignette.

Sets the color of the vignette through the use of a standard color picker. The default color is black.

Changes the blur amount along the horizontal axis.

Changes the blur amount along the vertical axis.

Sets the roundness of the vignette. The vignette can either be circular or square or anywhere in between.
