Emulate one of three film processes pioneered by the Technicolor Motion Picture Corporation: System 1, 2 and 3.
Effect Parameters
Process
This parameter lets you select the type of film process emulation that will be applied to the source clip. The available options are:
- Technicolor System 1 emulation: a 2-strip additive process.
- Technicolor System 2 emulation: 2-strip subtractive process.
- Technicolor System 3 emulation: 3-strip subtractive process.
Amount
This parameter controls the intensity of the effect. A value of 1 means that the output image is based entirely on the selected film process. A value of 0 displays the original media, unmodified.
Color Space
This parameter allows you to choose a working color space for the effect. When the “Linear” option is selected, the plug-in will convert all color values to a non-gamma-corrected format. When the “Uncorrected” option is selected, the color values supplied by the host will be used directly, without conversion. It may help to choose “Uncorrected” when dealing with smooth gradients or vector-art backgrounds, or if you have already applied gamma correction to your source media in a previous step of your workflow.
High-precision Output
This parameter, available only inside Final Cut Pro, controls the color range of the final output. Although you will see no difference in the Canvas window (due to the fact that Final Cut Pro always previews in 8 bit color) high-precision clamping ensures that your output falls within a predictable range. This feature will often save you an extra post-processing step and come in handy when the only previewing device available is the built-in display.
