CHAPTER 13 Effect Mode Options Descriptions

Mattes

Object Effect Global Effect

Effect Mode parameter DMX value = 144

The Global Effect option lets you select from a variety of provided patterns to superimpose over the composite image. Modifier parameters select the pattern and effects for a matte.

The images below show two examples of the Mattes option. In the image on the left, the Modifier 2 value selected the matte pattern. Modifier 1 sets black as transparent. The Modifier 3 value corresponds with a lookup to an internal gradient map to determine the matte color.

In the example on the right, the same Matte is selected by Modifier 2. This time the Modifier 1 value selects white as transparent and uses a graphic object as a texture. A Modifier 3 DMX value of 0 designates the Matte texture as Graphic Object 1’s media file content minus any applied effects.

Modifier 1	DMX = 11	Modifier 1 DMX = 5
Modifier 2	DMX = 13	Modifier 2 DMX = 13
Modifier 3	DMX = 203	Modifier 3 DMX = 0

Modifier 1: This parameter determines transparency and color options for the selected matte:
