Light Box 1.0 Feature Highlights
Light Box 1.0 includes 9 plug-ins, giving users with the ability to create powerful light effects, as well as stylize images and colors. Highlights include:
• Light Flicker: Simulates TV ambient, vintage projector flickering and disco strobe lights. Can be used in a variety of projects and contains a number of customizable controls and presets.
• Light Pulse: Provides a fast and easy way of creating automated pulsing lights of any speed, color and style. An effect like "Red light Alarm" or constantly shifting ambient lights requires only a couple of seconds to choose from the presets and customize the effect.
• Multicolor Gradient: A customizable plug-in that allows the user to overlay a variety of color gradients of modifiable tonality, size, and intensity over images.
• Multicolor Vignette: Provides the unique ability to apply a smooth, multicolored vignette onto the image. Like Multicolor Gradient, this plug-in helps add a gentle touch of color while grading.
• Regional Light: A stylish plug-in that replicates localized light effects, with or without flicker. Underexposed, dull images can be brightened up and improved with the use of one or more Regional Lights.
• Stylizer: A video stylization plug-in. From abstract image manipulation to surreal looks, this plug-in offers a variety of options, including built-in presets.
• Vivid Touch: Sharply enhances both image light and colors. Vivid Touch helps users combine contrasting effects, like glow and sharpness, to achieve either more vivid images or dream-like atmospherics.
• Burn Wipe: Creates dynamic light and burnout wipe transitions of any intensity, thickness and color. The wipe can be vertical, horizontal and any rotation degree. Unlike any other wipe plug-in, the movement and rotation of the effect can also be randomized to achieve dramatic results.
• Flash: A transition that creates various intermittent flash/lightning effects in-between clips and is most effective when a dramatic and/or sudden change requires emphasis.
