All Premultiplied

Samples the average of all RGB color values, premultiplied with the alpha channel.

Including Alpha

Samples the average of all RGB color and alpha channel values. The result is that the sampled

color also contains the average transparency of the sampled pixels.

Maintain Original Alpha

When selected, the effect maintains the original clip’s alpha channel. If you choose

Including Alpha from the Average Pixel Color menu, the original alpha is stenciled over the sampled color.

Blend With Original

The effect’s transparency. The result of the effect is blended with the original image, with the

effect result composited on top. The higher you set this value, the less the effect affects the clip. For example, if you
set this value to 100%, the effect has no visible result on the clip; if you set this value to 0%, the original image doesn’t
show through.

Grid effect

Use the Grid effect to create a customizable grid. Render this grid in a color matte or as a mask in the alpha channel
of the source clip. This effect is good for generating design elements and mattes within which other effects can be
applied.

Anchor

The point of origin of the grid pattern. Moving this point offsets the pattern.

Size From

How the dimensions of the rectangles are determined:

Corner Point

Each rectangle’s dimensions are those of the rectangle with opposite corners defined by the Anchor

and Corner points.

Width Slider

A rectangle’s height and width are equal to the Width value, meaning the rectangles are squares.

Width & Height Sliders

A rectangle’s height is equal to the Height value. A rectangle’s width is equal to the Width

value.

Border

The thickness of the grid lines. A value of 0 causes the grid to disappear.

Note: The anti-aliasing of the grid borders may cause the visible thickness to vary.

Feather

The softness of the grid.

Invert Grid

Inverts the transparent and opaque areas of the grid.

Color

The color of the grid.

Opacity

The opacity of the grid.

Blending Mode

The blending mode to use to composite the grid on top of the original clip. The default None mode

renders the grid only.

Lens Flare effect

The Lens Flare effect simulates the refraction caused by shining a bright light into the camera lens.

Flare Center

Specifies a location for the center of the flare.
