There are several pulldown presets (more than other similar plug-ins) and adjustment controls for sensitivity and frame intervals. All of these conditions involve some variation in exposure within the frame or from one frame to the next and that’s what Flicker Free will even out. Flicker Free does a great job of tackling these situations, but is also more processing intensive than the other three plug-ins.

Typical situations where you might have image flicker include timelapse/hyperlapse clips, archival footage, strobing lights, computer and TV screens within the shot, LED displays, and the propeller shadows in drone footage. However, you can also push the various controls to achieve a more stylized look.Īs the name implies Flicker Free is designed to get rid of image flicker. A subtle application of the effect will result in the clip appearing to be sharper. The mask can be adjusted to achieve the desired effect.įor example, the eye make-up used by most actresses provides a nice edge to which sharpening can be applied. This mask prevents image noise from also being sharpened.

Samurai Sharpen uses edge detection to create a mask for the areas to be sharpened. Taken to an extreme, it can also create a cartoon effect.

This localized contrast increase results in the perception that the image is sharper. Sharpening filters work by increasing contrast around the detected edges of contrasting areas within an image.

I tested the same thing in Premiere Pro and no such issue appeared there. Simply process the clip in Motion and bring the corrected file back into Final Cut. While that’s a nuisance, it’s not a deal-breaker, given the usefulness of this filter. Others may not run into this, but nevertheless, it worked perfectly inside Motion. This was tested on three different Macs running Mojave, so I’m pretty sure it’s a bug, which I’ve reported to Digital Anarchy.

The full control panel did not show up within the inspector pane. Unfortunately, out of the four, Beauty Box was the only one of these plug-ins that had an issue in Final Cut Pro X. Both looks can be good, given the appropriate circumstance. Crank it up and you’ll get a result not unlike high-gloss, fashion photography with sprayed-on make-up. If you apply the filter with a light touch, then you get a more subtle effect. However, it offers a nice range of control, along with GPU acceleration.

Like all skin smoothing filters, Beauty Box works by blurring the contrast within the affected area. You can adjust the colors and settings to refine the area of the mask. The mask is based on the range between the dark and light skin colors within the image. It is a skin retouching plug-in that uses basic face detection to isolate the skin area within the image. Some people simply have a skin texture, wrinkles, or blemishes that look worse on screen than face-to-face. Let’s face it, even the most attractive person doesn’t always come across with the most pleasing appearance on camera, in spite of good make-up and lighting. That’s an offshoot of Beauty Box, but designed to achieve the opposite effect. Digital Anarchy also offers photography filters, as well as a few free offerings, such as Ugly Box. They are compatible with a range of NLE hosts and may be purchased individually or as part of several bundles. These include Beauty Box Video, Samurai Sharpen, Flicker Free, and Light Wrap Fantastic. That’s where Digital Anarchy’s four main video plug-in products fit. There are many reasons to add plug-ins and effects filters to your NLE, but the best reason is for video repair or enhancement.
