Bleach Bypass

Simulates the bleach bypass technique, involving the partial or complete skipping of the bleaching function during the processing of a color film. The result is a black and white image over a color image. The images usually would have reduced saturation and exposure, along with increased contrast and graininess.

Compatibility

Bleach Bypass is compatible with Final Cut Pro, Motion, Premiere Pro, After Effects and DaVinci Resolve.

Parameters

Amount

Set to 100% by default.

This parameter controls the intensity of the effect. A value of 100% means that the output image is based entirely on applying the Bleach Bypass filter. A value of 0% displays the original media, unmodified.

Pre-exposure

Set to 20% by default.

Applies an exposure adjustment before pixels are further processed by the Bleach Bypass filter.

Timeline color space

Allows you to match the working color space used by the plugin to the current Timeline color space set for the project and/or individual timelines in DaVinci Resolve.

Matching the Timeline Color Space in DaVinci Resolve

This parameter is neither available nor necessary in Apple and Adobe video apps, since our plugins can be automatically matched to the working color space.
