The size of the neighborhood (the kernel) is defined by the strength parameter. The height and width parameter should be equal to the resolution of the image.

TriNoise
A layer of black triangular shapes is put on top of the image. If the ‘time’ parameter is used the triangles will move over the screen and are faded in and out following a fixed pattern creating noise.
Parameters
time | The time interval during which the triangles are faded in and out is defined by placing two keypoints on the time-timeline. The speed of the animation depends on the distance between the keypoints and the difference between their values. |
amount | Defines the number of triangles that are laid over the image and thereby also their size. |
Mix[%] | The lower the value, the less transparent are the triangles. Increases the visibility of the triangles from the screen borders to the center. |
Vignette
Classic vignette effect. Darkens the image from the screen borders to the center.
Parameters
Mix[%] | Defines the visibility of the effect. |
Width[%] | Defines how far from the screen borders the darkened area reaches. |
Zoom
Can be used to zoom in and out of content. Zooming out works similar to ‘Tiling’, with the difference that ‘Tiling’ uses the bottom left corner as the effects center point, whereby here the center can be chosen freely.
Parameters
Mix[%] |
Defines the visibility of the effect. |
xPosition |
Defines the x-coordinate of the effects center point. |
yPosition |
Defines the y-coordinate of the effects center point. |
Scale[%] |
Defines the zooming factor. Values >1.00 will zoom in, values <1.00 will zoom out. |
