User Manual

To select a color for the paint brush, do one of the following:
 Click the color swatch to open a standard OS Color Picker window.
 Drag the Eyedropper into the viewer.
 Drag inside the color chooser to select a saturation and luminance. Drag on the
sidebars to change the hue and transparency.
When you paint, each stroke is unpremultiplied, so adjusting the Alpha slider in the Inspector
does not affect what you apply to the RGB channels. However, changing opacity affects all four
channels.
Cloning from the Frame
Choosing the Clone Apply Mode allows you to paint from one area of an image over another
area. This is the most common use of the Paint tool. It allows you to remove objects or artifacts
from a clip by covering them up with another area of the frame. Depending on the Stroke type
chosen, you may clone on either a single frame or for the entire duration of the clip.
The Clone Apply Mode allows you to sample from one
area and use it as a source to paint over another area.
You can use the Clone Apply Mode to clone from the same image connected to the Paint
node’s background input or a different source from the node tree.
To clone from a different area of the same frame:
1 Select a Stroke type from the Paint toolbar above the viewer.
2 Using the size slider in the Brush controls section of the Inspector, set the size of
the brush.
3 From the Apply Mode buttons, select the Clone mode.
4 Option-click over the area in the viewer you want to use as the source. A dot appears
showing you the center of what you’re sampling from.
