Graduated Filter effect

[Mike Kujbida]

You’re very very warm 🙂

Try this as an experiment.
Drop the “Linear Black to Transparent” grad on the timeline over top of a picture or video clip.
Click the 2 circle and change the “Aspect Ratio Angle” to 90.
Adjust the “Distance” as desired (0.0 for a start).
Click the 1 circle and adjust the colour as desired.
When you get it the way you want, save it as a preset.

T, here is what I do:

Track 1 (this will be your graduated filter):
– using insert generated media, create a black to white gradient image
– set composite mode set to Multiply (Mask)
– add a Sony Mask Generator Effect

Track 2:
– insert your footage
– make this a child of track 1

Track 3:
– using insert generated media, create a blue image for your new sky color.
– keep this as a parent track

Now, track 1 is your “graduated filter”. You can adjust the gradient to your liking. The blue (track 3) will show wherever the track 1 mask is black, and your clip (track 2) will show wherever the track 1 mask is white.
