Sapphire Plug-ins for Autodesk: Hotspots

ColorOps: Hotspots

In the S_ColorOps Plugin.

Generates a hotspot image containing areas of the source clip brighter than a given threshold. The colors of the hotspots should match the original source. This can be used for increasing contrast or finding the bright areas of a clip, but without changing the color saturation or hue of the result.

Inputs:

Source: The clip to be processed.

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.

Blur Input: Default: 0, Range: 0 or greater.
Allows smaller spots to be smoothed away before the hotspots are determined.

Brightness: Default: 1, Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the brightness of the result.

Saturation: Default: 1, Range: any.
Scales the color saturation. Increase for more intense colors. Set to 0 for monochrome.

Threshold: Default: 0.7, Range: 0 or greater.
Include hotspots at any source areas that are brighter than this value.

Threshold Add Color: Default rgb: [0 0 0].
This can be used to raise the threshold on a specific color and thereby reduce the hotspots generated on areas of the source clip containing that color.

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 .

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, Shared .
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.

Ignore the Mocha Mask and apply the effect to the entire source clip.
