New free VC Plugin: Color Vibrance

This might really come in handy for recoloring prerendered particles:

Will probably use that alot in upcoming templates if there aren’t too many problems with customers needing to install the plugin.

It is amazing! but it is for cs5 & above…

Good news !

Thank you!! :slight_smile:

Have you already try it? Still not sure if it’s a good idea to use it in templates. I think a lot of customers will get confused.

I most of the time don’t backsave to cs4 anymore, just too many problems / missing features.

Most customers do have a 64bit version by now, I guess.

The only thing that bugs me is that CS5.5 is not in the list. will try if it doesn’t work for tha version. If yes then it is a no-go.

@mothinkers
not yet, maybe play around with it a bit today

Sweet stuff! :slight_smile:

it crashes on my cs5.5 … works well on cs6!

Definitely, but as Andrew Kramew said in the video about Color Vibrance, it shouldn’t be that hard to replicate with built-in Ae effects.

For the sake of it i’ve just tried to apply to a particle pre-render a “Tritone” effects with it’s highlight property mapped to an expression color controller with the expression:

thisComp.layer("Controller").effect("Color Control")(1)

then i’ve written two short expression:

In the Midtones of the Tritone effect:


c = thisComp.layer("Controller").effect("Color Control")(1); 
hsl = rgbToHsl(c);

hue = (hsl[0] - 0.05)%1;
saturation = (hsl[1] +0.05)%1;
lightness = (hsl[2] -0.25)%1;

compl = [hue, saturation, lightness, hsl[3]];
hslToRgb(compl);

And in the Shadows:


c = thisComp.layer("Controller").effect("Color Control")(1);
hsl = rgbToHsl(c);

hue = (hsl[0] + 0.15)%1;
saturation = hsl[1]
lightness = (hsl[2] -0.3)%1;

compl = [hue, saturation, lightness, hsl[3]];
hslToRgb(compl);

The results are quite interesting and I belive that with some additional work on it this method could turn quite in handy:

With some tweaks it could really give some nice variation to particles/ lens flares footage. What do you think?

Thank you!!
