Tinderbox 1 - Plug-Ins

There are 20 plug-ins in Tinderbox 1 (plus one bonus plug-in).

T_Blur

T_Blur is a time constant sub-pixel gaussian blur. It is very fast at large and small blurs and being sub-pixel can be smoothly animated over time. It can operate on the whole image, individual colour components or the luminance. It can also be used to sharpen the image.

T_DirBlur

T_DirBlur smears pixels in a particular direction. Tracking information can be used to automatically set the amount and direction of blur to simulate motion on fast moving objects.

T_Diffuse

T_Diffuse scatters pixels in an image.

T_Etch

T_Etch simulates a hand drawn picture using charcoals. Lines are drawn along edges and cross hatching is used to fill in regions.

T_HeatHaze

T_HeatHaze simulates the layered rippling distortion that is characteristic of viewing images through hot air.

T_Rays

T_Rays creates a backlit light ray effect. The rays are sourced from selected areas of the image’s luminance or matte. The colour of the rays can come from the source image or a fixed colour.

T_Starburst

T_Starburst is a simulated lens filter that adds sparkles to highlights. Includes parameters to change number of rays, rotation and luma clip levels.

T_Stutter

T_Stutter randomly jumbles up sequences of frames within a clip.

T_Beam

T_Beam draws a spotlight in 3D space. The position of the light source can be animated and the beam can be rotated in all directions. The beam can either be composited with the source image or used to generate a new image.

T_Caustic

T_Caustic simulates the patterns created when light rays are reflected or refracted by a curved surface. Caustics can often be seen at the bottom of a swimming pool in bright sunlight. It is often used with logical operators to produce an organic breakup of mattes.

T_Grad

T_Grad renders colour gradients. Directional, circular, radial and polygonal gradients can be created.

T_Sky

T_Sky generates realistic evolving skies. There are controls for the 3D camera position, clouds, sun, haze, fog, atmosphere and sun flares with numerous presets to get you started.

T_Deflicker

T_Deflicker removes global colour or luminance flicker from a clip. The flicker may be as a result of lighting variations during stop motion photography, or it could have been introduced in some transfer process prior to its arrival on your system.

T_Degrain

T_Degrain removes grain from film images and noise in video images. The algorithm is based on a hybrid median filter that analyses a neighbourhood of pixels and sets the centre pixel to the median value of that region. This removes any pixels which show a sudden change in intensity which is typical of noise.

T_Dilate

T_Dilate is used to grow or erode edges of mattes. It is often used to improve mattes in keying. It can also be used to generate outlines from mattes.

T_Pattern

T_Pattern generates a wide variety of wipe patterns with softness, scaling and rotation controls to customise the effect.

T_Tile

T_Tile translates, scales, rotates and shears clips with edge controls to provide repeating patterns.

T_Distorto

T_Distorto deforms one clip using the luminance of another. This is a gem of a plug-in that is extensively used in post-production to fake and control the distortions seen in reflected objects.

T_Droplet

T_Droplet is a single droplet ripple effect with amplitude, wavelength, phase, speed and other controls.

T_Lens

T_Lens is a distorting plug-in that creates a fish-eye lens effect. The bulge can be applied into or out of the image.

T_Qube

T_Qube generates patterns of tiles within tiles.
