EdgeDetect: BlipsIn the S_EdgeDetect Plugin.Performs an edge detect on the source image, then finds the intersection of the edges with a rotating beam. The result of this effect can be used to create dots that cycle around the edges of an object, probably for further processing such as with Glint. Inputs:

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.
-
Center:
X & Y, Default:
[0 0],
Range:
any.
The center location of the rotating beam, in screen coordinates relative to the center of the frame. This parameter can be adjusted using the Center Widget.
-
Angle Start:
Default:
0,
Range:
any.
The initial beam angle.
-
Angle Speed:
Default:
180,
Range:
any.
The speed of beam rotation in degrees per second. For variable beam rotation speed, set this to zero and animate the Angle Start parameter.
-
Beam Width:
Default:
0.05,
Range:
0.001 or greater.
The width of the rotating beam.
-
Beam:
Popup menu, Default: 1 Way
.
Selects the type of beam.
-
1 Way:
the beam starts at the Center location and extends outwards
in a single direction based on the Angle.
- Bidirectional: the beam extends in both directions from the Center location.
- Bidirectional: the beam extends in both directions from the Center location.
-
1 Way:
the beam starts at the Center location and extends outwards
in a single direction based on the Angle.
-
Brightness:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 or greater,
Shared
.
Scales the brightness of the result.
-
Saturation:
Default:
1,
Range:

Subtracts this value from the result. Increase to remove unwanted noise from minor edges.
-
Edge Smooth:
Default:
0,
Range:
0 or greater.
Increase for thicker and smoother edges.
-
Show:
Popup menu, Default: EDGESxBEAM
.
Selects between output options.
-
EDGESxBEAM:
outputs the edge image intersected with the beam.
- EDGES: outputs only the edge image. Use this when adjusting the edge parameters.
- BEAM: outputs only the beam images. Use this when adjusting the beam parameters.
- EDGES: outputs only the edge image. Use this when adjusting the edge parameters.
-

Params2:
Params3:
-
Mocha:
Default:
0,
Range:
0 or greater,
Shared
.
Brings up the Mocha window for tracking footage and generating masks.
-
Blur Mocha:
Default:
0,
Range:
0 or greater,
Shared
.
Blurs the Mocha Mask by this amount before using. This can be used to soften the edges or quantization artifacts of the mask, and smooth out the time displacements.
-
Mocha Opacity:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 to 1,
Shared
.
Controls the strength of the Mocha mask. Lower values reduce the intensity of the effect.
-
Invert Mocha:
Check-box, Default:
off,

If enabled, the black and white of the Mocha Mask are inverted before applying the effect.
-
Show Mocha Only:
Check-box, Default:
off,
Shared
.
Bypass the effect and show the Mocha Mask itself.
-
Bypass Mocha:
Check-box, Default:
off,
Shared
.
Ignore the Mocha Mask and apply the effect to the entire source clip.
