USING ADOBE PREMIERE PRO 394 Effects and transitions result, and the Shadow Color value determines the shadow's color. Decreasing the Color Influence value blends the colors of the clip in the shadow with the Shadow Color. Increasing Color Influence reduces the influence of the Shadow Color. Shadow Only Select to render only the shadow. Resize Layer Select to allow the shadow to extend beyond the clip's original boundaries. Stylize effects Alpha Glow effect The Alpha Glow effect adds color around the edges of a masked alpha channel. You can have a single color either fade out or change to a second color as it moves away from the edge. Glow Controls how far the color extends from the alpha channel edge. Higher settings produce larger glows (and can cause very slow processing before playback or export). Brightness Controls the initial opacity of the glow. Start Color Shows the current glow color. Click the swatch to choose another color. Use End Color Lets you add an optional color at the outer edge of the glow. Fade Out Specifies whether the colors fade out or stay solid. Brush Strokes effect The Brush Strokes effect applies a rough painted look to an image. You can also use this effect to achieve a pointillist style by setting the length of the brush strokes to 0 and increasing the stroke density. Although you specify the direction of strokes, they are scattered randomly by a small amount to give a more natural result. This effect alters the alpha channel, as well as the color channels; if you've masked out a portion of the image, the brush strokes paint over the edges of the mask. Original image (left), with effect applied (center), and with Brush Size and Length adjusted (right) Stroke Angle The direction in which the strokes are made. The image is effectively shifted in this direction, which may cause some clipping at the clip boundaries. Brush Size The size of the brush, in pixels. Stroke Length The maximum length of each stroke, in pixels. Stroke Density Higher densities result in overlapping brush strokes. Stroke Randomness Creates nonuniform strokes. The more randomness, the more the strokes vary from the brush and stroke settings you specify. Paint Surface Specifies where brush strokes are applied: • Paint On Original Image Puts the strokes on top of the unmodified clip. This setting is the default. Last updated 1/16/2012
