Filters

Light Leaks Dissolve
• Light Leaks Dissolve creates a stylized pattern of bright lighting elements overlaid on the source footage, which automatically animates in intensity as your transition progresses to obscure the underlying dissolve between clips. The lighting elements simulate the look of light leaking through the gaps in a camera and partially exposing the film/sensor. Light Leaks Dissolve builds its pattern of leaks by layering up to four separate leak generators on top of each other with additional controls over the scaling, intensity, and apply mode of the combined leak elements.

Blobs Wipe
• Blobs Wipe transitions between two layers by animating an evolving, random blobby pattern of transparency which progressively reveals the underlying layer as the size of the transparent regions increases.

Burnt Film
• Burnt Film simulates the look of holes burning through a layer of film to reveal another image. This filter provides control over the appearance of the burned edges and the burn rate, and allows you to use a custom alpha matte to set the shape of the burn holes.

Checker Wipe
• Checker Wipe transitions between two layers by animating a checkerboard pattern of transparency which progressively reveals the underlying layer as the thickness of the transparent regions increases.

Composite Dissolve
• The Composite Dissolve filter creates unique variations on standard dissolve transitions by using apply modes and levels/gamma controls to fine tune the look of the dissolve midpoint. Leveraging the range of looks offered by the apply modes, this transition can generate many new looks that still maintain the basic feel of a classic dissolve transition. It can be used in subtle ways such as employing the Hard Light, Soft Light, or Overlay modes to boost color intensity during the dissolve midpoint, which avoids the washed-out colors that can characterize a classic dissolve. Modes such as Multiply, Screen, and Add can generate interesting glow-like dissolves and hybrids between classic dissolves and dip to black/white transitions. Composite Dissolve offers the unique ability to select two different apply modes and control the blend amount between them for maximum control over the final look.

Criss-Cross Wipe
• Criss-Cross Wipe combines two independent Multi-Stripe filters to make wipes in a variety of patterns. At the default value, this wipe appears similar to a Grid wipe.

Cross Glitch
• Cross Glitch is an auto-animating transition effect for simulating some of the kinds of errors and artifacts that can be apparent during digital video playback. It is useful as a style element on video or titles to create a sense of energy and movement. It makes use of auto-animation so it requires little or no keyframing. Cross Glitch allows a single glitch to last for more than one frame with control over how that glitch grows and fades over its lifetime, thus allowing more dynamic and realistic glitch behavior that can be achieved with glitches that last only a single frame. A special Curves preview mode allows visualizing the relative locations of the glitches over time.

Cross Melt
• Cross Melt uses a combination of auto-animating displacement, blur, and lighting effects that post-process an underlying dissolve to create a stylized melting or dream-like look as the transition progresses.

Cross Zoom
• Cross Zoom is an auto-animating transition which uses a zoom in / zoom out motion to create a dynamic look when moving from one image to another.

Damaged TV Dissolve
• Damaged TV Dissolve filter is an effect which simulates a weak or distorted video signal on a CRT television monitor for use as a transitional element between two images.

Fast Film Glow Dissolve
• Fast Film Glow Dissolve is a 100% GPU-accelerated filter that creates a glow animation that automatically animates as your transition progresses to obscure the underlying dissolve between clips.

Flutter Cut
• Flutter Cut produces a jumpy transition that cuts between the incoming and outgoing clips, with optional insertion of effects, colored frames, and alternate layers. The filter is always self-animating with no need to set keyframes. It renders a sequence of clips that by default alternates between the incoming and outgoing clips in a pattern determined by the Outgoing Clip Settings and Incoming Clip Settings groups. The controls in the Colors group allow you to add a pattern of colors or alternate layers to the output sequence. The effect controls at the bottom let you add a couple of simple effects to selected clips in the output sequence. The Flutter Cut effect produces (by design) a chaotic and rapidly changing output.

Grid Wipe
• Grid Wipe uses a cross-hatched pattern which expands from a center point to progressively wipe the image off the screen.

Lens Blur Dissolve
• Lens Blur Dissolve is a 100% GPU accelerated replacement to the original BCC Lens Transition filter. Lens Blur Dissolve uses OpenCL to deliver greatly increased render performance with a streamlined interface. It applies a lens blur defocus/rack focus-style effect to the specular highlights of the outgoing and incoming image clips causing the highlights to take on the shape of a simulated lens diaphragm. This filter includes a pop-up that can be used to match different looks that can be achieved in the physical world based on the lens aperture setting.

Lens Distortion Wipe
• Lens Distortion Wipe creates a transition between two layers where one layer is distorted as if viewed through a lens of changing size.

Lens Flare Dissolve
• Lens Flare Dissolve creates a flare animation that automatically animates as your transition progresses to obscure the dissolve between clips. It includes a full set of lens flare 3D parameter options to allow maximum customization for the look of the dissolve.

Lens Flare Round
• Lens Flare Round is a dissolve-style transition which creates a flare animation that automatically animates as your transition progresses to obscure the dissolve between clips. It offers a simplified subset of the full lens flare parameter set, oriented towards making softer-looking elements.

Lens Flare Spiked
• Lens Flare Spiked is a dissolve-style transition that creates a flare animation which automatically animates as your transition progresses to obscure the dissolve between clips. It offers a simplified subset of the full lens flare parameter set, oriented towards making a more star-shaped and spiked appearance.

Lens Flash
• Lens Flash creates a flare animation that automatically animates as your transition progresses to obscure the dissolve between clips. It offers a simplified subset of the full lens flare parameter set, oriented towards making a large bright flash as the transition progresses.

Blur Dissolve
• Blur Dissolve creates a blur animation that automatically animates as your transition progresses to obscure the dissolve between clips.

Light Wipe
• Light Wipe uses a light source emanating from the edges of an expanding geometric shape to wipe away the layer. The generated light can be based on either a solid color or can be sampled from the source image to create more pronounced ray-like elements.

Linear Wipe
• Linear Wipe is similar to a standard horizontal wipe, however, it offers a variety of parameters for you to customize.

Multi Stretch Wipe
• Multi Stretch Wipe is a radial wipe with three additional stretch controls named Taffy Stretch. The Taffy Stretch parameters create interesting distortions without significantly impacting render times.

Multi Stripe Wipe
• Multi Stripe Wipe is a similar to a Horizontal or Vertical Blind wipe. It offers extensive controls to randomize the stripes parameters.

Radial Wipe
• Radial Wipe produces a radial wipe transition, and contains many controls for unlimited creativity, including Influence controls and preset edge patterns. At the default value, this wipe is similar to a Circle wipe.

Rays Dissolve
• The Rays Dissolve filter creates a stylized volumetric lighting effect that automatically animates as your transition progresses to obscure the underlying dissolve between clips.

Rectangular Wipe
• Rectangular Wipe produces rectangular wipes. At the default value, this wipe is similar to a Box wipe.

Ribbon Wipe
• Ribbon Wipe transitions between two layers by animating parallel stripes or ribbons of transparency which progressively reveal the underlying layer as the thickness of the transparent stripes increases.

Rings Wipe
• Rings Wipe creates a radial wipe effect made up of individual ring bands that expand outward from the center or inward from the edges.

Ripple Dissolve
• Ripple Dissolve creates a rippling distortion similar to that generated by a raindrop or pebble falling onto a smooth pond. The distortion amount automatically animates as your transition progresses to obscure the underlying dissolve between clips.

Swish Pan
• Swish Pan enables you to create fast camera pan style transitions between clips. It includes full manual override controls.

Textured Wipe
• Textured Wipe creates a non-geometric wipe using the Influence layer and the Texture settings. By default, the Influence is generated from the luminance of the outgoing clip when you apply the wipe as a transition and by the filtered clip when you apply the wipe as a filter.

Tile Wipe
• Tile Wipe creates a transition between two layers by dividing the footage into tiles and animating the scale and rotation of the individual tiles.

Tritone Dissolve
• Tritone Dissolve creates a tint/tritone effect with optional levels/gamma adjustments that automatically animates up and down in intensity while the underlying dissolve progresses to complete the transition.

Twister
• Twister transitions between images by simulating a tight twist in the image plane which animates along a chosen axis to progressively reveal the incoming layer on the newly exposed back side.

Vector Blur Dissolve
• Vector Blur Dissolve creates a stylized vector blur that automatically animates as your transition progresses to obscure the dissolve between clips. A wide variety of looks ranging from wispy blurs to stylized painterly or melted blends can be achieved by varying the blur controls or by browsing through presets.

Vignette Wipe
• Vignette Wipe transitions between two layers by animating a softened elliptical/rectangular opacity vignette which progressively reveals the underlying layer as the size of the vignette changes.

Water Waves Dissolve
• Water Waves Dissolve creates a rippling water-like distortion that automatically animates as your transition progresses to obscure the underlying dissolve between clips.
