Grain Filter
Intro
Add a fine grain to emulate the visual appearance of film stock.
UI
Grain Type - Determine if the grain is colorised or black and white:
- Color - Set individual grain values for each color channel.
- Monochrome - Create uniform grain across all color channels.
Grain Amount - When Grain Type is set to Monochrome, determine how much grain to apply to the image. Higher values create a more visible noise texture.
Size - When Grain Type is set to Monochrome, determine the size of the grain. Larger values will create coarser noise.
Red Amount - When Grain Type is set to Color, set the amount of grain in the red channel. Use for color-specific noise control.
Green Amount - When Grain Type is set to Color, set the amount of grain in the green channel. Use for color-specific noise control.
Blue Amount - When Grain Type is set to Color, set the amount of grain in the blue channel. Use for color-specific noise control.
Red Size - When Grain Type is set to Color, set the size of grain in the red channel. Use for per-channel grain size variation.
Green Size - When Grain Type is set to Color, set the size of grain in the green channel. Use for per-channel grain size variation.
Blue Size - When Grain Type is set to Color, set the size of grain in the blue channel. Use for per-channel grain size variation.
Log Grain - Control the color space in which the grain is generated. 'Log' space will create more film-like grain characteristics.
Texture - Determine how much of the original image influences grain placement. Higher values make the grain follow the image structure.
Sharpen - Sharpen the image before the noise is added. Higher values create more defined edges and details.
Sharpen Edges Only - When checked, sharpening is only applied to image regions with a sharp contrast between light and dark areas.
Highlight - Set how much grain appears in image highlights. Lower values reduce grain in bright areas.
Midtone - Set how much grain appears in image midtones. Controls grain in the middle luminance range.
Shadow - Set how much grain appears in image shadows. Higher values add more grain to dark areas.
Time - By default, this is connected to the Composition's Time. Remove this connection to prevent the grain from evolving during playback.
