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.
