Alpha channel graph

 

The effect of the special effect "Alpha channel graph" is to use the brightness of material A as the alpha channel of material B. Material A is the material specified in the effect, and material B is the image track where the effect is located. Material A can be a single JPG/PNG image or a CAF sequence file.

1、Usage mode

This trick has two modes of use, please pay attention to the distinction.

1.1、Brightness progression mode

Brightness progression mode. Calculate the brightness and darkness of different areas of material A and determine which areas of material B are seen first and which areas are seen later during the process of alpha change. Black corresponds to the beginning of the process and is the first area seen in the process. White represents the maximum value of the process, which is the last area seen in the process. Need to be used together with the "threshold" parameter.

1.2、Brightness channel mode

Luminance channel mode. Determine the alpha value of the corresponding area of the material B according to the brightness of the different areas of the material A.

2、Other parameters of the alpha channel graph

NO	Name	Description	Unit	Range
1	Border	Make the threshold change of the brightness process softer		0-1
2	Border red channel	For the brightness process, add color to the soft part of the threshold change, and specify the R value of the color RGBA value		0-1
3	Border green Channel	For the brightness process, add color to the soft part of the threshold change, and specify the G value of the color RGBA value		0-1
4	Border blue channel	For the brightness process, add color to the soft part of the threshold change, and specify the B value of the color RGBA value		0-1
5	Border alpha channel	For the brightness process, add color to the soft part of the threshold change, and specify the A value of the color RGBA value		0-1
6	Border color softness	Adjust the brightness process, the soft part of the threshold change, the degree of feathering of the color edge		0-1
7	Threshold	In the brightness progress mode, set the area to be seen in the channel graph and the corresponding brightness value.		0-1
