Gradient Map Effect

  • The Dynamic Gradient map creates colour transformations and artistic look
  • In PTE AV Studio 12 we added a new Gradient map effect mode for a Mask container
  • You can create dynamic effects using a grayscale image (grayscale is the better term here)

gradient_map_effect.zip

  • Add a Mask Template. Choose Mask mode as “Gradient map”
  • We provided one preset “Spots” with customizable parameters. You can add a grayscale picture as a stencil for this effect
  • Adjust the “Width %” parameter in the Properties for a Mask Container which controls the smoothness of edges
  • Add the 2nd keyframe for a Mask container and change the Opacity parameter to create a dynamic animation. This effect works when the Opacity changes from 0% to 100% for a Mask container
