Utility effects
Cineon Converter effect
The Cineon Converter effect provides a high degree of control over color conversions of Cineon frames. To use the Cineon Converter effect,
import a Cineon file and add the clip to a sequence. You can then apply the Cineon Converter effect to the clip and precisely adjust the colors
while interactively viewing the results in the Program monitor. Set keyframes to adjust for changes in tone over time—use keyframe interpolation
and ease handles to precisely match the most irregular lighting changes, or leave the file in its default state and use the converter.
The 10 bits of data available in each Cineon channel for each pixel make it easier to enhance an important range of tones while preserving overall
tonal balance. By carefully specifying the range, you can create a version of the image that faithfully resembles the original.
Here are a couple of pages in After Effects Help that give information about
Conversion Type How the Cineon file is converted:
Log To Linear Converts an 8-bpc logarithmic non-Cineon clip that you plan to render as a Cineon clip.
Linear To Log Converts a clip containing an 8-bpc linear proxy of a Cineon file into an 8-bpc logarithmic clip so that its display
characteristics are consistent with the original Cineon file.
Log To Log Detects an 8- or 10-bpc logarithmic Cineon file when you plan to render it as an 8-bpc logarithmic proxy.
10 Bit Black Point The black point (minimum density) for converting a 10-bpc logarithmic Cineon clip.
Internal Black Point The black point used for the clip in Premiere Pro.
10 Bit White Point The white point (maximum density) for converting a 10-bpc logarithmic Cineon clip.
Internal White Point The white point used for the clip in Premiere Pro.
Gamma Increase or decrease Gamma to lighten or darken midtones, respectively.
Highlight Rolloff The rolloff value used to correct bright highlights. If adjusting the brightest areas makes the rest of the image appear too dark,
use Highlight Rolloff to adjust these bright highlights. If highlights appear as white blotches, increase Highlight Rolloff until details are visible. An
image with high contrast may require a high rolloff value.
Video effects
Timecode effect
The Timecode effect overlays a timecode display on your video to make pinpointing scenes and collaborating with team members and clients
easier. The timecode display indicates whether the clip is progressive or interlaced. If the clip is interlaced video, the symbol indicated whether the
frame is the upper or lower field. Settings in the Timecode effect let you control the display position, size, and opacity, as well as format and
source options.
Position Adjusts the horizontal and vertical position of the timecode.
Size Specifies the size of text.
Opacity Specifies the opacity of the black box behind the timecode.
Field Symbol Makes the interlaced field symbol visible or invisible to the right of the timecode.
Format Specifies whether timecode is displayed in the SMPTE format, in frame numbers, or in feet and frames of 35mm or 16mm film.
