Color Vibrance Plug-in (Updated V1.0.6)

Introduction

Hey, what's up Andrew Kramer here for VideoCopilot.net and welcome back to another very exciting tutorial! Today we're going to be diving into our new plugin, Color Vibrance, and the best part? It's absolutely free!

What is Color Vibrance?

Color Vibrance makes it incredibly simple to add a vibrant splash of color to your footage. Our meticulous work on the color algorithm and some really cool features make this plugin a must-have in your daily routine.

Original Purpose

Initially, the Color Vibrance plug-in was designed to work with our Shockwave stock footage pack. Shockwave's footage comes pre-matted with a black background and white particle effects, and this plugin makes it easy to colorize those effects and add an alpha channel.

How to Use Color Vibrance

Here’s a quick guide on how to get the most out of Color Vibrance:

1. Basic Setup:

   • Drop the Color Vibrance effect onto your footage.
   • Instantly get a bright, vibrant colorization.
   • Change the color to anything you want. The algorithm automatically provides intense saturation and looks great with primary colors.

2. Comparison with Traditional Methods:

   • Traditionally, you'd use a curves adjustment to add color, which takes multiple steps to achieve the same vibrance.
   • Hue and Saturation adjustment offers only one color tone, unlike Color Vibrance, which provides a mix of rich hues.

3. Key Features:

   • Vibrance: Controls the intensity of the color, not just saturation.
   • Preserve luminance, brightness, gamma: Offers advanced customization.
   • Invert: Switches colorization around.
   • Matting Options: Easily adds transparency and alpha channels to your effects.
   • Use with Modes: You can use it in combination with transfer modes like Screen for even more dynamic results.

Real-world Examples

1. Solar Flare Tutorial:

   • Add a tint effect on top.
   • Apply Color Vibrance to get a warm, intense look without multiple adjustments.

2. Spin Effects Tutorial:

   • Use to add color effects to audio keyframe animations.
   • Easy application and customization of colors.

3. Particular Plugin Integration:

   • Works smoothly with the Particular plugin by allowing post-render colorization adjustments.
   • Saves time as you don’t need to re-render particles to adjust colors.

4. Dealing with Fractal Noise:

   • Color Vibrance fades colors correctly without odd gray artifacts.
   • Simplifies mask application and color transitions.

Additional Notes

• You can add effects before and after Color Vibrance for layered adjustments.
• It allows advanced features like creating transparency purely with alpha channels.
• Easy to copy-paste across multiple projects for consistent efficiency.
