Film Grading
Method #
This node combines a few different effects together to create an easy filmic look. Useful for quickly adding a vignette, or adding some basic chromatic aberration to an image.
Parameters
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
Parameter Details Active
Enables or disables the effect. Disabling the effect means it will no longer compute, so disabling a node when not in use can improve performance.
Blend Amount
Changes the opacity of the new effect over the original image.
Blend Mode (RGB)
Change how the generated effect blends with the parent image RGB.
Blend Mode (Alpha)
Change how the generated effect blends with the parent image alpha.
Affected Channels
Toggle which of the RGBA channels are affected by the effect.
Blur Amount
Amount of Blur to apply to the image.
Blur Scale
Scale of the Blur effect.
Chromatic Amount
Amount of chromatic aberration in the effect.
Vignette Width
Control the size of the vignette
Tone Map Gamma
Control the brightness of the effect
Noise Amount
Amount of noise in the image
Centre X
Change the x axis centre point along from which the chromatic aberration is drawn.
Centre Y
Change the y axis centre point along from which the chromatic aberration is drawn.
Normalise Blur Steps
Normalises the blur steps, so that they remain more accurate when at larger extremes.
Toggle which of the RGBA channels are affected by the effect.
The properties control the time at which the node is active. See Timeline for editing time segments.
Parameter Details Duration
Control the duration of the node’s time segment.
- Composition Duration : Use the length of the composition for the node’s time segment duration.
- Custom : Set a custom duration for the node’s time segment.
Node Time
The custom start and end time for the node.
Duration (Timecode)
The length of the node’s time segment (in time).
Duration (Frames)
The length of the node’s time segment (in frames).
Time Segment Enabled
Set whether the node’s time segment is enabled or not in the Timeline.
