Stylize Effects; Ramp Effect; Alpha Glow Effect - Adobe PREMIERE PRO 2 Manual

Specifies the range of pixels that the effect fills with the new color. This value is based upon the option
Tolerance
chosen in the Fill Selector menu. Higher values expand the range of similar pixel values that the effect fills. Lower
tolerance values restrict that range.
Causes the effect to display the threshold values in black and white (based on the tolerance value)
View Threshold
in the Composition window. The white areas within the tolerance range fill with the selected fill color. This is
especially useful in tracking leaks. When there is a small gap, the color can flow over and fill areas not intended to
be filled. If a leak is found, try reducing the Tolerance value or retouching your image, either by using the Paint effect
or by editing the image in the application in which you created it.
Specifies how the effect treats the edges of the filled area:
Stroke
•
Anti-aliases the edges of the filled area.
Antialias
•
Creates a feathered edge for the filled area. Feather Softness values create a more gradually disappearing
Feather
edge.
•
Expands the area of the fill color. The Spread Radius value indicates the number of pixels the fill color
Spread
extends beyond the edge of the fill area.
•
Contracts the area of the fill color. The Spread Radius value indicates the number of pixels the fill color
Choke
shrinks from the edge of the fill area.
•
Confines the fill to just the border of the selected area. The Stroke Width value indicates the width of the
Stroke
stroke, in pixels.
Each Stroke option has a corresponding slider except for Antialias.
Reverts all currently filled pixels to their original colors and transparency, and fills the previously unfilled
Invert Fill
pixels using the current settings.
Specifies the color to use as the fill color.
Color
Specifies the transparency of the filled area.
Opacity
Specifies the blending mode the effect uses to create the operation between the new fill color and
Blending Mode
the original clip. Use Fill Only if you don't wish to composite the fill with the original image. Only the fill remains
visible.

Ramp effect

The Ramp effect creates a color gradient, blending it with the original image contents. Create linear or radial ramps
and vary the position and colors of the ramp over time. Use the Start and End of Ramp options to specify the start
and end positions. Use the Ramp Scatter control to disperse the ramp colors and eliminate banding.
Note: Traditionally, ramps do not broadcast well; serious banding occurs because the broadcast chrominance signal does
not contain sufficient resolution to reproduce the ramp smoothly. The Ramp Scatter control disperses the ramp colors,
eliminating the banding apparent to the human eye.

Stylize effects

Alpha Glow effect

The Alpha Glow effect adds color around the edges of a masked alpha channel. You can have a single color either
fade out or change to a second color as it moves away from the edge.
