Regions of the reference image that are appropriate for analysis are
analyzed and grain is applied over the entire composition.
■ Click the Selection button and drag to define an area to analyze. For
best results, define multiple regions of uniform color with no features.
Click the Analyze button to create the grain. Click Clear to clear any
areas you defined and start again.
(a) Selection button
■ Enter the number of forward and/or backward frames you w ant to
use, and click Calculate Motion.
The motion vectors in the forward and backward frames is used to analyze
the type of grain present in the composition. Grain is removed from the
composition. Response curves are generated and displayed in the
Animation Editor. You can now fine-tune the resulting curves—see
Fine-tuning the Grain on page 505.
Fine-tuning the Grain
Once you have generated or removed grain using the Add Grain or Remove
Grain tools, you can manually adjust the response curve for the gain and size
in the Animation Editor. The solid curve represents the gain and the dotted
line curves represent the size of the grain.
