Cineon ConverterThis effect provides a high degree of control over color conversions of Cineon frames. In After Effects 5.0, you can convert the color in a Cineon file using controls in the Interpret Footage dialog box or using the Cineon Converter effect. To use the Cineon Converter, import a Cineon file and leave it in its default state; After Effects will either condense the colors to 8 bit or expand them to 16 bit, depending on the mode you are working in. You can then apply the Cineon Converter to the file and precisely adjust the colors while interactively viewing the results in the Composition window. Set keyframes to adjust for changes in tone over time and use keyframe interpolation and ease handles to precisely match the most irregular lighting changes. The 10 bits of data available in each Cineon channel make it easier to enhance an important range of tones while preserving overall tonal balance. By carefully specifying the range, you can create a version of the image that faithfully resembles the original. For more information, see the After Effects product section on Adobe's Web site. |
