It converts your video to grayscale. It makes all pixels with a luminance value below the Black Input Level or above the White Input Level appear black, while everything in between appears gray or white. This is great when you want a stylized or monochromatic look. |
|
Logo Cutout |
Controls transparency and use for overlay transitions or layering effects. |
|
Luma Key |
Use the effect to remove all areas of a layer based on specific luminance or brightness levels. It works best when the object you want to generate a matte has a significantly different luminance than its background. For example, when keying musical notes on a white background, you can remove the brighter areas so that only the dark notes remain visible and opaque. |
|
Track Matte Key |
Reveals one clip (background clip) through another (superimposed clip), using a third file as a matte that creates transparent areas in the superimposed clip. This effect requires two clips and a matte, each placed on its own track. White areas in the matte are opaque in the superimposed clip, preventing underlying clips from showing through. Black areas in the matte are transparent, and gray areas are partially transparent. |
