FEC Threshold RGB: Color Channel Control

FEC Threshold RGB allows users to create color thresholds for red, green, or blue values in an image, with controls for adjusting these thresholds and softness of transitions. The tool includes options for inverting color channels and blending the filtered image with the original. Additionally, it features a Motion Tracker for applying motion path data to the effect and a PixelChooser for selective filtering methods.

FEC Threshold RGB

FEC Threshold RGB lets you create thresholds based on individual red, green, or blue values.

Source image

Filtered image

Controls
Lock Thresholds links the Red, Green, and Blue Threshold sliders so they can be adjusted in
unison.

Red Threshold, Green Threshold, and Blue Threshold set a level in the chosen color
channel. Pixels whose channel values are above the Threshold level are pure white in
the matte. For example, if the Red Threshold is set to 70, then all pixels whose red
channel value is higher than 70 are black in the matte. The range is from 0 to 100
percent. Only values that you select are allowed in the final image. RGB values are
derived from the RGB channels of the original image.
Softness controls the controls the smoothness of the transition between regions above
and below the specified threshold. A softness of 0 produces a binary output - channels
are either fully “on” or fully “off”. Larger softness values create a smoother transition
between these two extremes by mapping values in the vicinity of the threshold value to
intermediate grayscale values. The range is 0 to 100. The same softness amount is
applied to each of the R, G, B channels separately.

The Clamp Softness checkbox lets you gradually reduce the amount of softness
applied. When set to True, the effective Softness amount is gradually reduced the closer
the Threshold amount approaches either 0 or 100. Thus, when Threshold is set to 0 or
100 the softness is effectively 0 and the resulting channel is either fully “on” or fully “off”.
When set to False, softening is still apparent even when the Threshold is 0 or 100.

Selecting the Invert Red Channel, Invert Green Channel, or Invert Blue Channel checkboxes
reverses the respective color channel.

Mix with Original blends the source and filtered images. Use this parameter to animate the
effect from the unfiltered to the filtered image without adjusting other settings, or to reduce the
effect by mixing it with the source image.

The Motion Tracker parameter group allows you to track the motion of an object, and then use
the motion path data to control another aspect of the effect by applying a matchmove to it. The
parameters that can be affected depend upon the filter. (For more information on using the
Motion Tracker, please click on its Help banner located at the top of the Motion Tracker
parameter group).

Once an object is tracked, the track data can be applied to FEC Threshold RGB’s
PixelChooser by using the Apply menu located inside the Motion Tracker parameter
group.

The Pixel Chooser parameter group contains the PixelChooser - which is included in many
Boris filters (like Boris Continuum Complete), and provides several methods to selectively filter an
image. (For more information on using the PixelChooser, please click on its Help banner located
at the top of the Pixel Chooser parameter group).
