Typominal - Digital Typewriter Text Preset. A similar filter shipped with AE CS5, but doesn't get installed by default see Unmult for CS5: Pixel Bender 'Alpha from Max Color' for background on that Pixel. Here are 15 free After Effects plugins that you can download to use for CC or CS5/6. Those definitions need to change from scene to scene, so Color Finesse gives you a simple tool to let you decide on the definitions, making three-point correction more intuitive and more effective.Īnd Color Finesse is a true 32-bit floating point color corrector, not just "floating point capable" and not in only a few correction tools. Knoll Unmult is the original free After Effects plug-in for removing black backgrounds and generating mattes, and is now available for CS3, CS4, and CS5. Three-point color correction is a powerful tool, but not when you're stuck with fixed definitions of what a highlight, midtone, and shadow is.
In fact, it offers more correction tools-including secondary color correction and curves-than are found in most built-in correctors. Color Finesse does all its color correction operations without needing to constantly convert formats and round, reducing errors and creating a pristine image. Each filter you add increases rounding error and image degradation. Often you'll need to combine several color correction filters to perform even simple correction. In the effect controls window, click the Auto Color button. To do white balance it's really simple: Apply Color Finesse to a layer. The correction is based on the current frame, so choose an average frame to white balance to.
Most video-editing software now has its own built-in color correction, but it's often limited in capability, accuracy, and performance. The Auto Color button in Color Finesse (included with AE) will correct white-balance errors. You get simple access to color correction directly in the host application as well as via the specialized Color Finesse user interface. The Color Finesse 3 PI plug-in works directly in Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro.
