Tinder - Plug-Ins

T_Bandlimit
T_Bandlimit converts an image into Fourier space, removes or keeps frequencies, then converts it back to give a very stylised image.

T_BadTV
T_BadTV simulates poor TV reception. A master control alters the overall signal quality to produce ghosting, snow, edge distortions, colour loss, vertical roll, misaligned guns, shash effects, power loss and other effects.

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_Blob
T_Blob renders smoothly shaded blobs that gloop together when they get close to one another.

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_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_BlurChannels
This plug-in blurs the individual colour channels of an image by different amounts. It uses a fast sub-pixel gaussian blur. BlurChannels can be used to soften the red channel of a digitally created image and blend the result back into the original. This is useful for simulating certain filmstocks that have layered red, green and blue emulsions where the focussing of the image captured on film is subtly different for each layer (or channel).

T_BlurMasked
T_BlurMasked takes an image and a matte and blurs the image based on values in the matte. In some circumstances it can be used to simulate depth of field.

T_BumpShade
T_BumpShade gives images the appearance of depth by falsely extruding from the luminance or matte. Lighting is provided to accentuate the relief and parameters to soften the effect are supplied. Can be a useful tool for giving cartoons a shaded look.

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_Chromatic
T_Chromatic blurs and separates the colour components of an image to simulate the colour fringing seen when light is refracted through poor quality lenses.

T_CircBlur
T_CircBlur smears an image around a point giving the appearance of motion blur on a rotating object. Includes filtering options and controls for hold out at the centre.

T_Compare
T_Compare takes two images and allows you to compare them side by side. Pixel values in both images are displayed for comparison.

T_Condensation
T_Condensation renders thousands of water particles that clump together into water droplets. The droplets are used to distort the source image giving the appearance of water condensation on glass. There are lighting controls and the effect auto-animates drips.

T_Contour
T_Contour draws closed lines along pixels with similar luminance. The result can be blended back into the original image.

T_Copyflicker
T_CopyFlicker analyses the luminance variations in a clip and applies them to another clip.

T_Deband
T_Deband intelligently smooths out the appearance of colour banding on 8 bit images.

T_Defield
T_Defield generates a frame from a field. A number of sophisticated algorithms are supplied to create the missing field. Slope adaptive interpolation gives a greatly superior result on angled edges to standard line interpolation methods. A motion mask has been developed to identify areas of the image that are moving and interpolate only these. By preserving static parts of the image less information is thrown away giving a higher quality result.

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_Diffuse
T_Diffuse scatters pixels in an image.

T_DiffusionFilter
T_DiffusionFilter simulates the effect of diffusion lens filters by softening and colouring the diffused highlights & lowlights.

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_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_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_DoubleVision
T_DoubleVision blends multiple copies of the input image with offsets to give a double vision look.

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

T_EdgeBlock
T_EdgeBlock posterises an image localised to detected edges within the image.

T_Elements
T_Elements is an organic evolving shape generator constructed from thousands of particles and can be used to simulate fire, smoke and water.

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_Glow
T_Glow applies a glow effect to the image. Neon and other looks are also possible.

T_Grad

T_GradientBlur
T_GradientBlur finds the gradients in an image and uses these to produce directional vectors that selectively blur the image either along or perpendicular to the vectors. Interesting painterly effects can be achieved.

T_Grain

T_Median
T_Median applies an NxN median filter to an image. Median filters do an excellent job of removing single pixel noise or scratches from an image while only causing a slight reduction in sharpness.

T_MeltTime

T_MinMax
T_MinMax is used to grow or erode mattes. It is sub-pixel accurate and very fast. Can give interesting painterly effects when applied to images.

Scratches, dust, hair, stains, vignette, defocus, defielding, highlight diffusion, grain, camera flicker and other effects are included. There are controls to double up frames for that staccato old film look. Preset colour effects like sepia, black and white, techicolour and forties take the hassle out of setting up this effect. Brightness, contrast and saturation controls for each individual colour channel for fine tuning. A burn through effect allows the film to stick in the gate and burn under the light. Everything you need really.
