Color Vibrance is available in the Color: Looks Pack.
This effect is ideal for adding color to greyscale procedural effects such as particles and textures. Here is a grayscale fiery planet created using a combination of fractal noise and sphere effects inside HitFilm:
Here’s the same shot with color vibrance applied:
Color vibrance is particularly effective at retaining detail in bright areas without creating excessive bloom. The strength of the vibrancy and the luminance preservation can be adjusted, as can the color and phasing of the effect.
- Preset: Several presets are provided which can be used as starting points for your adjustments.
- Color: Select the base color which will be applied to the layer.
- Vibrance: Sets the intensity of the colorization.
- Phase: Shifts the hue of the colorization.
- Preserve Luminance: Defines how much the total luminance of each pixel is affected by the colorization. Higher values retain more of the original luminance, while lower values allow the added color to alter the luminance value if necessary.
- Exposure: Brightens or darkens primarily the highlights of the image, with minimal effects on the shadows.
- Offset: Brightens or darkens the shadow areas of the image, with minimal effects on the Highlights. Start with minor adjustments, as excessive changes here can create unnatural results.
- Gamma: Brightens or darkens the midtones of the image.
- Invert: Inverts the color values of the colorized image.
- Generate Matte: Creates a matte based on the colorization.
