Apple Color 1.5 - Manual (Page 272)

Note: If you have a compatible control surface, you can also use its controls to customize
the vignette. See
Setting Up a Control Surface for more information.
• Vignette button: This button turns the vignette on or off for that tab.
• Use Tracker pop-up menu: If you’ve analyzed one or more motion trackers in the current
project, you can choose which tracker to use to automatically animate the position of
the vignette using this pop-up menu. To disassociate a vignette from the tracker’s
influence, choose None.
Note: When Use Tracker is assigned to a tracker in your project, the position of the
vignette (the center handle) is automatically moved to match the position of the
keyframes along that tracker’s motion path. This immediately transforms your vignette,
and you may have to make additional position adjustments to move the vignette into
the correct position. This is especially true if the feature you’re vignetting is not the
feature you tracked.
• Shape pop-up menu: This pop-up menu lets you choose a shape to use for the vignette.
• Square: A user-customizable rectangle. You can use the onscreen controls in the
Previews tab or the other vignette parameters to modify its position and shape. For
more information, see
Using the Onscreen Controls to Adjust Vignette Shapes .
• Circle: A user-customizable oval. You can either use the onscreen controls in the
Previews tab, or the other vignette parameters to modify its position and shape.
• User Shape: Choosing User Shape from the Shape pop-up menu automatically moves
you to the Shapes tab of the Geometry room, where you can click to add points to
draw a custom shape to use for the vignette. When you finish, click the Attach button,
and then go back to the Secondaries room to make further adjustments. When you
use a User Shape as the vignette, the rest of the vignette parameters become
unavailable; you can modify and animate that shape only from the Shapes tab of the
Geometry room. For more information, see
The Shapes Tab .
Parameters That Adjust Square or Circle Vignettes
The following parameters are only available when you use the Square or Circle options
in the Shape pop-up menu.
• Angle: Rotates the current shape.
• X Center: Adjusts the horizontal position of the shape.
• Y Center: Adjusts the vertical position of the shape.
• Softness: Blurs the edges of the shape.
