Mattes
Effect Mode parameter DMX value = 144
The Global Effect option lets you select from a variety of provided patterns to superimpose over
the composite image. Modifier parameters select the pattern and effects for a matte.
The images below show two examples of the Mattes option. In the image on the left, the
Modifier 2 value selected the matte pattern. Modifier 1 sets black as transparent. The Modifier 3
value corresponds with a lookup to an internal gradient map to determine the matte color.
In the example on the right, the same Matte is selected by Modifier 2. This time the Modifier 1
value selects white as transparent and uses a graphic object as a texture. A Modifier 3 DMX
value of 0 designates the Matte texture as Graphic Object 1’s media file content minus any
applied effects.
Modifier 1: This parameter determines transparency and color options for the selected matte:
