Checkerboard

Compatibility

Checkerboard is compatible with Final Cut Pro, Motion, Premiere and After Effects.

Parameters

Presets

Presets contain a snapshot of your effect configuration. 3 built-in presets are available.

When you save parameter configuration to a file on disk, this file can later be loaded to recreate the same effect configuration. Presets generated in one video application can be used by the same plug-in running in a different video application.

Working with the Presets Menu

Center

A point parameter centered in the frame by default.

Initial location in the frame

While it is possible to change the X and Y coordinates via the inspector, it is far easier to interact with point parameters directly on-screen:

Adjusting Point Parameters in Final Cut Pro
Adjusting Point Parameters in Motion
Adjusting Point Parameters in Premiere
Layer Selection in After Effects

Cell Size

Set to 80 by default.

The slider is limited to values between 0 and 2000 but you can type values between 0 and 0 by clicking on the current value in the inspector and typing the desired value in. Some video applications also allow you to click and drag the value beyond the range accessible through the slider.

Sharpness

Set to 1 by default. Only values between 0 and 1 are allowed.

Color 1

Set to
100% red, 100% green, 100% blue, 100% alpha in the SRGB color space by default.

Color 2

Set to
black by default.
