  • Apply the uni.Edge Glow effect onto your clip.

Modify the Glow

  • The Edge Detect slider will find the outlines within the image which the glow will affect. Smaller, more detailed edges are highlighted by the glow when brought up towards 1000.
  • Use the Glow Radius control to expand or shrink the glow out from the brightest areas. The glow effect becomes accentuated when raising this control.
  • The Brightness control will bring up the brightness and occurrence of the glowing areas, while lowering this slider down to 0 will diminish the glowing areas. 
  • Use the Saturation slider to increase the color intensity inside the glow, or bring it down below 100 to desaturate the color. 
  • When turned on, the Colorize checkbox will apply the color of the Tint selected below to glow and give that color to the image.
  • The Tint selector allows you to change the color tint of the glow for better compositing and special effects.
  • Turning the Opacity slider down from 100 control will lower the overall transparency of the effect on the layer.
  • Chose from the Blend Mode drop-down to select the blending mode used to composite the Edge Glow result over the original image.
  • Use the Premult checkbox setting for easy compositing. When turned on, this checkbox makes the alpha channel of the layer transparent, allowing you to composite the layer over background footage more easily.
