DissolveGlow In the S_Dissolves Plugin. Transitions between two input clips using a bright glowing flash. The clips dissolve into each other, while each one gets a glow which ramps up and down over the duration of the effect. The Dissolve Amt parameter should be animated to control the transition speed. Inputs: From:  Starts the transition with this clip. To:  Ends the transition with this clip.

Parameters:

Dissolve Amt:   AutoTransition,  Default: 0,  Range: -0.5 to 1.5,  Shared.
The transition ratio between the From and To inputs. A value of 0 gives only the From input and a value of 1 gives only the To input. By default this parameter automatically animates from 0 to 1 to perform a complete transition.

Dissolve Speed:   Default: 3,  Range: 1 or greater.
The speed of the dissolve between the From and To clips. When set to 1, the dissolve takes place over the entire duration of the effect. When set higher, the dissolve is shorter, although the glow ramp-up and ramp-down still takes the entire duration. Setting this to 10 can make the transition snappier and more like a flash-frame cut.

Glow Brightness:   Default: 6,  Range: 0 or greater.
Overall maximum brightness of the glow.

Glow Threshold:   Default: 0.2,  Range: any.
Parts of the source clip that are brighter than this value get glowed. A value of 0.9 makes only the brightest spots glow. A value of 0 makes every non-black area glow.

Glow Width:   Default: 0.3,  Range: 0 or greater.
The width of the glow. This and all the width parameters can be adjusted with the Width widget. Note that a zero glow width still enhances the bright areas; set the glow brightness parameter to zero if you want to pass the sources through unchanged.

Width X:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the horizontal glow width. Set to 0 for vertical only.

Width Y:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the vertical glow width. Set to 0 for horizontal only.

Glow Color:   Default rgb: [1 1 1].
Overall color of the glow.

Width Red:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the red glow width. If the red, green, and blue widths are equal, the glows will match the color of the source clip. If they are not equal, the glows will vary in color with distance.

Width Green:   Default: 1.2,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the green glow width.

Width Blue:   Default: 1.4,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the blue glow width.

Params2:

Rel From Bright:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
Relative brightness of the glow on the outgoing (From) clip.

Rel From Width:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
Relative width of the glow on the outgoing (From) clip.

From Threshold:   Default: 0,  Range: any.
Extra threshold to apply to the glow on the outgoing (From) clip.

Rel From Color:   Default rgb: [1 1 1].
Relative color of the glow on the outgoing (From) clip.

Rel To Color:   Default rgb: [1 1 1].
Relative color of the glow on the incoming (To) clip.

Rel To Bright:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
Relative brightness of the glow on the incoming (To) clip.

Rel To Width:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
Relative brightness of the glow on the incoming (To) clip.

To Threshold:   Default: 0,  Range: any.
Extra threshold to apply to the glow on the incoming (To) clip.
