Effect Mode
parameter DMX value = 144
The Global Effect 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 effect. 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:
This parameter determines transparency and color effects for the selected matte:
Modifier 2:
