Nice examples are also ydiff; swap and transition. The chromakey seems to me comparable to CGG's classic chromakey and not avid's. The ability to replace the background via Blend Program is great, though.
I have intentionally chosen several example functions from totally different areas of application, to demonstrate that a user-programmable plugin is a really universal toy and can appear handy even in unexpected cases. If a user needs to tinkern some play with colors or layers and does not know which of the dedicated plugins should help, he can think "Could I firstly try something like this with a blend program?" Even a programmer can sometimes make use of this approach when creating new effects. Here one can much more quickly test different combinations without spending time to restart CinGG, recompile it, reload project, reattach plugins, etc. Blendprogram chromakey was also implied as a remarkable example to demonstrate that even complex things sometimes may be expressed in extremely simple form, in only several lines of text. Can it be used in a real video production? Not obvious. In no way can it replace ChromakeyAvid or something like this. But one can in principle play with the expression in it to tune the sensitivity on the hue difference, for example, or even combine the found expression with further plugins, like alpha smoothing, etc., who knows? _______________________________________________________________________________ Georgy Salnikov NMR Group Novosibirsk Institute of Organic Chemistry Lavrentjeva, 9, 630090 Novosibirsk, Russia Phone +7-383-3307864 Email [email protected] _______________________________________________________________________________
