Light Show Transition

Presets contain a snapshot of your effect configuration. While no built-in presets are available through this parameter, you can still save and load your own preset files.

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.

Lets you provide the destination clip of a transition effect when used in Motion or After Effects.

This parameter is not available in Final Cut Pro and Premiere Pro since both video applications support transition effects natively.

Lets you control if a transition used in Motion or After Effects should animate automatically over the duration of the clip. When disabled, the transition must be animated by keyframing the Transition Progress parameter.

This parameter is not available in Final Cut Pro and Premiere Pro since both video applications support transition effects natively.

Lets you animate a transition effect in Motion or After Effects. This parameter is only available when Automatic Progress is disabled.

This parameter is not available in Final Cut Pro and Premiere Pro since both video applications support transition effects natively.

The following options are available:

• Title
  Effects originate from opaque pixels, i.e. those with non-zero alpha.
• Video — initial selection
  Effects originate from a specific range of pixels, determined by a luminance value and a range. Both can be specified via separate parameters visible below.

Set to 50% by default.

Allows you to select pixels based on a luminance value and range, as defined by the Source Range parameter below. The pixels you select are then used as the source for all effects. A luminance value of 100% corresponds to the brightest pixels in the source. A luminance value of 0% corresponds to the darkest pixels in the source.

The Source Luminance parameter is only visible when the Clip Type popup menu is set to Video.

Set to 50% by default.

The Source Range parameter value, from 0% to 100%, determines how many pixels around the luminance value to select. For example, a Source Luminance value of 50% and Source Range value of 25% will select medium brightness pixels, in a slice that is 1/4 of the entire range:

The Source Range parameter is only visible when the Clip Type popup menu is set to Video.

The following options are available:

• Original media
  Rays have the same color as the pixel they originate from.
• Single color — initial selection
  Rays have one color, to be specified via the Ray Color parameter below.
• Two colors
  Rays interpolate between two colors from beginning to end of the animation. The two colors are specified via the Ray Color and Ray Color (End) parameters below.
• Animated color
  Rays start with the given color, and animate through all possible hues at a speed controlled by the Rate of Change parameter below.

This parameter lets you pick a color for the light rays. It is used for all selections of the Ray Color Source popup menu except Original media.

On Single color, the selected color is used throughout the effect.

On Two colors, the selected color represents the starting point in the interpolation that ends with the color specified by the Ray Color (End) parameter.

On Animated color, the selected color is the starting point which gets progressively changed over time, according to the Rate of Change parameter below.

Set to 20% by default.

Speed at which the hue of rays changes over time.

Available only when the Ray Color Source parameter is set to Animated color.

The following options are available:

• Follows the wipe — initial selection
  The origin of the light rays follows the wipe effect as it sweeps across the frame.
• Opposite the wipe
  The origin of the light rays is opposite the location of the wipe. The two meet when the animation is at its midpoint.
• Custom
  The origin of the light rays can be set anywhere in the frame, via the Rays Origin point parameter that appears below and on canvas.

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

Offset the origin of the light rays relative to its current location in the frame. When the offset is zero, the origin stays at the center of the wipe as it travels across the frame. Positive or negative offsets let you move the origin along the line that is perpendicular to the wipe’s direction.

This parameter is only available when the Origin parameter above is set to Follows the wipe or Opposite the wipe. An offset isn’t required when setting a custom location for the origin. On that setting, you can position the origin anywhere in the frame

A point parameter centered in the frame by default.

On by default.

Set to 25% by default.

Set to 10% by default.

• Animated color
  The glow start with the given color, and animates through all possible hues at a speed controlled by the Rate of Change parameter below.

This parameter lets you pick a color for the glow. It is used for all selections of the Glow Color Source popup menu except Original media.

On Single color, the selected color is used throughout the effect.

On Two colors, the selected color represents the starting point in the interpolation that ends with the color specified by the Glow Color (End) parameter.

On Animated color, the selected color is the starting point which gets progressively changed over time, according to the Rate of Change parameter below
