The Cosmos effect is a HitFilm Pro exclusive.
Generates an animated star pattern, with optional connecting lines to generate constellation-style visuals.
- Seed: Randomizes the look of the effect. This parameter can be keyframed to change the position of the star elements over time independent from the Travel parameter.
- Energy: Adjusts the speed at which the individual elements move as the effect is played. A lower value will result in slower-moving stars and connections.
- Density: Adjusts the overall number of stars and connections that appear at one time, with a maximum value of 10. As the number is increased, more elements are added to the effect.
- Travel: Adjusts the forward (positive value) or backward (negative value) movement through the effect. A higher percentage value will result in faster movement.
- Rotation: Adjusts the overall z-axis rotation of the effect. When keyframing this effect over time in conjunction with the Travel parameter having a non-0% value, it will appear that the camera is rotating while moving forward or backwards.
- Time Offset: Adjusts the relative start time of the effect in relation to the timecode in the composite shot timeline.
Stars
- Color: Adjusts the base color of the star element.
- Color Variation: Adjusts the variation from the base star color. A lower percentage will result in less variation, while a higher number will result in more variation from the base color.
- Size: Adjusts the relative size of the star element.
- Bloom: Adjusts the amount of glow on the individual star elements.
- Twinkle: Adjusts the rate of the change in the size of the star elements. A lower percentage will result in the stars having a constant size, while a higher percentage will result in more star elements growing and shrinking when the composite shot is played.
Connections
- Color: Adjusts the color of the line connections between stars.
- Amount: Adjusts the number of line connections between star elements.
- Thickness: Adjusts the relative width of the line connections.
- Softness: Adjusts the blur on the line connections. A lower percentage will result in more clearly defined lines, while a higher value will result in softer edges.
- Fade Speed: Adjusts the speed at which the line connections appear and disappear while the effect is playing.
