GlowAura In the S_Glows Plugin. Generates radial colored aura lines following the gradient of the source clip, and then combines these with the source clip. Inputs: Source:  The input clip that determines the glow locations and directions.

Parameters:

Width:   Default: 0.5,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the glow distance. This parameter can be adjusted using the Width Widget. Note that a zero glow width still enhances the bright areas; set the brightness parameter to zero if you want to pass the Source through unchanged.

Frequency:   Default: 8,  Range: 0 or greater.
The frequency of the color pattern. Increase for more cycles through the spectrum.

Frequency Red:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the red frequency.

Frequency Green:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the green frequency.

Frequency Blue:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the blue frequency.

Subpixel:   Check-box,  Default: off.
Enables glowing by subpixel widths. Use this for smoother animation of the Width parameters.

Phase:   Default: 0,  Range: any.
Shifts the color pattern.

Phase Speed:   Default: 1,  Range: any.
If non-zero, the color phase is automatically animated at this speed, causing the color pattern to flow over time.

Phase Red:   Default: 0.2,  Range: any.
Shifts the red phase.

Phase Green:   Default: 0.1,  Range: any.
Shifts the green phase.

Phase Blue:   Default: 0,  Range: any.
Shifts the blue phase.

Twist:   Default: 1,  Range: any.
Adjusts the spiral direction of the radial lines.

Brightness:   Default: 0.8,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the brightness of the glows.

Color:   Default rgb: [1 1 1].
Scales the color of the glows.

Threshold:   Default rgb: [0 0 0].
Glows will be generated from locations in the source clip that are brighter than this value. A value of 0.9 causes glows at only the brightest spots. A value of 0 causes glows on every non-black area.

Outer Brightnss:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the brightness of the glows at further distances from the source.

Glow Saturation:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the saturation of the glow colors. Increase for more intense colors. Set to 0 for monochrome.

Scale Source:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 to 1,  Shared.
Scales the brightness of the Source input when combined with the glows. This does not affect the generation of the glows themselves.

Eclipse With Bg:   Default: 0,  Range: 0 to 1,  Shared.
If this is set to 1, the background is subtracted from the glow and gives an eclipsed shadow effect.

Params2:

Show:   Popup menu,  Default: Result.
Selects the type of output

Result:  Shows the final result of combining the glow, source, and background.

Threshold:  Shows the thresholded image that is used to generate the glow.

Combine:   Popup menu,  Default: Screen.
Determines how the glow is combined with the Source or Background. This parameter has no effect if Light BG is set to 1.

Mult:  the source or background is multiplied by the glow.

Add:  the glow is added to the source or background.

Screen:  the glow is blended with the source or background using a screen operation.

Difference:  the result is the difference between the glow and the source or background.

Overlay:  the glow is combined with the source or background using an overlay function.
