TKY Free Light Slash Effect
Here’s a simple to use multi-purpose effect with the ability to grade (and add effects) inside and outside a 4-point mask with onscreen controls for mask corners.
As always, copy the unzipped folder to your User/Movies/Motions Templates/Effects folder.
There are grading controls*, tint and glow for inside the mask and grading, tint and blur controls for outside mask.
Useful and quick for a variety of vignette effects, light pools/slashes, darkening and/or blurring the edges (or top/bottom) of an image, e.g. for darkening/tinting an over-bright sky, etc.
And here’s a video that talks you through the controls and some ways of using the effect:
* Note this effect also includes the ability to control black and white levels (as well as gamma) independently (in addition to brightness and saturation) which gives you good control of luminance values.
Obviously this is all stuff you could do by stacking up other effects plus the Color Board but the combination of several processes within the one effect means it gives you much quicker results.
PS. I need to think of a better name for this, however!!
