ELECTRIFY
Flips through various tiled textures over the output, adding an animated and grungy quality to your footage.
Getting Started
- Drag the effect onto your clip.
Modify the Effect
- Source
- Noise Source sets whether the energy noise pattern comes from the Image Contours, basic Fractal Noise, a combination of both Noise + Image Contours, or just the Alpha Outline (if any).
- Color 1 and 2 set the two tones used throughout the effect.
- Distortion adds an additional noise layer used solely for distortion on top of the original noise source.
- Distortion Settings
- Distortion Scale: Controls the scale of the distortion effect.
- Distortion Influence: Adjusts the granularity of the distortion effect based off its noise distortion layer.
- Distortion Octaves: Adds additional (higher values) or less (lower values) complexity to the distortion pattern.
- Brightness: Controls the overall brightness of the electricity effect.
- Evolution Speed: Changes the rate of the electricity effect.
- Evolution Offset: Moves the electricity effect away or toward its Noise Source.
- Blend Mode: Chose from the drop-down to select the blending mode used to composite the effect over the original image.
- Fractal Noise Settings: Controls the Fractal Noise source only when selected from the Noise Source parameter above.
- FN Contrast: Adjusts the range of values between the noise's brightest and darker spots. Higher values result in more contrast and less output, lower values result in a cloudier fractal, covering more the image.
- FN Scale: Defines the scale of the fractal. A low value creates a smaller scaling, which gives a smoother look. A high value will add greater textual detail.
- FN Aspect: Sets the aspect ratio for the distortion.
- FN Rotation: Rotates the noise around the center axis.
- FN Scroll X and Y: Moves the noise along the X and Y axis, respectively.
- Matte Settings
- Matte Source: Creates an optional added matte from either Fractal Noise or Image Contours
- Matte Evolution Speed: Controls the rate at which the electrify effect moves through the matte source.
- Matte Brightness: Adjusts how bright the added matte source is.
- Matte Contrast: Contrast the range of values within the matte.
- Matte Scale: Defines the size of the matte.
- Matte Aspect: Sets the aspect ratio for the matte.
- Matte Rotation: Rotates the matte around the center axis.
- Matte Scroll X and Y: Moves the matte along the X and Y axis, respectively.
- View Matte Source: Toggles showing the matte area.
- Mask Settings
- Enable Mask: Toggles the option mask on or off over the effect.
- Mask Shape: Sets whether the mask is a Rectangle or Ellipse.
- Mask Position: Allows you to move the position of the mask along the X and Y axis using the cross-hair or numerical controls.
- Mask Width and Height: Scales the mask respectively along the X and Y axis.
- Mask Angle: Sets the rotation angle of the mask.
- Mask Invert: Switches the blur to occur outside the selected mask shape instead of inside when checked “On” . The default is “Off” for this control.
- Mask Feather: Increases the translucency in the edges of the mask along a gradient. The Feather direction will pull the transparent gradient towards the center of the mask if turned down towards -100 or out towards the edges if turned up to 100.
- View Mask: Toggles showing the mask area.
- Glow Intensity: Brings up the brightness of the glow, reducing its opacity and giving it a more solid, neon like effect.
- Glow Radius: Expands or shrinks the glow out from the highlight areas. This will spread out the intensity of the glow, making it more translucent.
- Random Seed: Adjusts the randomness formula used throughout the effect. Useful for discerning one similar effect from another, or just seeing other variance options.
- Unmult: Detects the black areas of the layer and turn them into a transparent alpha channel.
- Matte Source Alpha: Toggles whether the matte is applied to the source alpha channel (if any)
- Electrify Opacity: Adjusts the transparency of the electrify effect.
- Source Opacity: Adjusts the transparency of the footage the effect is applied onto.
