FCP Plug-ins: Lyric's Special Effects

The Special Effects kit is a set of 30 video filters offering a range of effects, including image correction, photographic effects and stylizing special-effects. Advanced effects include sketching & watercolor effects and a mask-based time-warping effect that delays individual pixels in a scene based on a supplied mask.

The Special Effects kit include these following filters and more:

- Bad Reception -

The Lyric Bad Reception filter applies image and chroma distortions that simulate bad TV signal reception. These consist of a horizontal random wave distortion whose frequency, amplitude and motion can be controlled, along with an optional chroma distortion that shifts the R, G adnd B channels out of aligmnment.

- High Pass Luma -

The Lyric High Pass Luma filter is a color-correction effect that applies a high-pass filter to the luminance channel in the source video image. This has the effect of heavily flattening the luminance, removing all the gross luminance shifts, leaving only those in the high-detail areas of the image. In this state, the luminance is in a smooth, narrow hump centered around middle gray which can be expanded out again using the built-in contrast control to bring back dynamic range, but in such a way that the broad areas in the image have neutral luminance.

- Masked Time -

The Lyric Masked Time filter is an unusual stylistic effect that time-delays individual pixels in the source video based on the gray-scale values of a mask you provide to the filter. It is most-commonly useful with locked-down shots in which only certain features are moving, and will distort or diffuse the moving features depending on the mask and the movement and the selected time delays.
