Ellipse effect
The Ellipse effect draws an ellipse based on the dimensions you specify in the Effect Controls panel. In addition to
width and height, you can specify the thickness, softness, and color of the ellipse.
Width and Height Controls specify the width and height of the ellipse in pixels. Values range from 0 to 2000 pixels.
Thickness Specifies the thickness of the arc forming the ellipse. Values range from 0 to 1000 pixels.
Softness Specifies the softness or degree of blur of the ellipse’s arc.
Ellipse effect: Original image (left), ellipse applied to the background once (center) and then applied multiple times (right).
Eyedropper Fill effect
The Eyedropper Fill effect applies a sampled color to the source clip. This effect is useful for quickly picking a solid
color from a sample point on the original clip or picking a color value from one clip and using blending modes to
apply this color to a second clip.
Eyedropper effect: Original image (left), and with different color samples applied (center and right)
Adjust the following controls for the Eyedropper Fill effect:
Sample Point Specifies the sampled pixel colors.
Sample Radius Specifies the size of the sample area.
Average Pixel Color Specifies which color values the effect samples within the area defined by the sample point and
sample radius.
• Skip Empty Samples the average RGB color values, excluding those of transparent pixels.
• All Samples the average of all RGB color values, including those of transparent pixels.
• All Premultiplied Samples the average of all RGB color values, premultiplied with the alpha channel.
• Including Alpha Samples the average of all RGB color and alpha channel values. This results in the sampled color
also containing the average transparency of the sampled pixels.
Maintain Original Alpha When selected, the effect maintains the original clip’s alpha channel. If you choose
Including Alpha in the Average Pixel Color menu, the original alpha is stenciled over the sampled color.
Blend With Original Specifies the amount of blending between the new solid color and the original clip.
