Creates random frames of black and white noise using a variant of the Perlin noise algorithm.

Effect Parameters

Presets
Presets contain a snapshot of the plug-in parameters. The Presets control lets you choose among one of the presets built into the plug-in, save current parameter values to a preset file, or load an existing preset file from disk.
A preset file saved to disk via the "Save As" button can be loaded from another instance of the same plug-in by clicking the "Open" button. Presets generated in one host can also be loaded from the same plug-in when used in a different host.

Scale
Controls the ratio of noise pixels in relation to the dimensions of the output frame. A value of 1 means that one pixel of noise will be generated for each pixel in the output, over both the X and Y axes. A value of 0.5 means that there will be half as many pixels in the noise map.

Scale X
Controls the ratio of noise pixels over the X axis in relation to the width of the output frame.

Scale Y
Controls the ratio of noise pixels over the Y axis in relation to the height of the output frame.

Speed
Controls the rate of change in the noise frames generated by this plug-in.

Blend Frames
Enable this option to provide a smooth transition from one set of noise value to the next.

Seed
The "seed" value used to generate the noise values. The sequence of noise frames will be the same when using the same seed value.

Origin
The origin of the noise pattern. You can animate the origin to simulate the action of moving the frame up/down/left/right. This parameter may be useful in combination with a low value of the “Speed” parameter to simulate motion across a blobby or cloudy surface.

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.

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.
