Glint

Effect Tab

Item

Description

Threshold

Determines the luminance level of the source material on which the Glint effect acts. Higher threshold levels result in less material being affected.

Boost

Adjusts the intensity of the highlights. Higher boost results in longer, brighter highlights.

Horizontal radius

Adjusts the length of the highlights extending horizontally. Higher values result in longer highlights.

Vertical radius

Adjusts the length of the highlights extending vertically. Higher values result in longer highlights.

Hue

Controls the base hue of the highlights.

Hue sweep

Controls the direction and extent of the hue cycle along the highlight gradient.

Saturation

Controls the depth of the hue or color selected. Higher values move the color away from gray to the true color.

Orientation

Spins the highlights through a 360-degree cycle. Higher values result in clockwise rotation.

Stripes

Sets the number of streaks emanating from each highlight. Higher values result in more streaks.

Reduce flicker

Toggles prefiltering of the source material to reduce unwanted flickering in the output.

Effect only

Determines whether the source is also displayed in the output of the effect.

Mask tab

Item

Description

Mask mode

Determines if and how the mask is applied. If the mask is Disabled, it will not affect the output of the effect. If the mask is set to Source, it will affect the source material before it is passed through the effect.

If the mask is set to Effect, the mask will be applied to the effect only. Show mask only just displays the mask without the source or the effect.

Mask type

Determines the shape and properties of the mask. Each mask type has its own set of property controls.

  • Rectangle: Creates a 4-sided mask.

  • Bar: Creates a 3-part mask with a fully opaque center region and variably transparent leading and trailing regions.

  • Wipe: Creates a 2-part mask with one transparent region and one opaque.

  • Ellipse: Creates an elliptical mask.
