Description

This effect/filter normalizes RGB video (aka histogram stretching, contrast stretching).

Parameters

Parameter

Value

Description

Smoothing

Float

The number of previous frames to use for temporal smoothing. The input range of each channel is smoothed using a rolling average over the current frame and the smoothing previous frames. The default is 0 (no temporal smoothing).

Independence

Float

Controls the ratio of independent (color shifting) channel normalization to linked (color preserving) normalization. 0.0 is fully linked, 1.0 is fully independent. Defaults to 1.0 (fully independent).

Strength

Float

Overall strength of the filter. 1.0 is full strength. 0.0 is a rather expensive no-op. Defaults to 1.0 (full strength).

BlackPt / WhitePt

Picker

Colors which define the output range. The minimum input value is mapped to the blackpt. The maximum input value is mapped to the whitept. The defaults are black and white respectively. Specifying white for blackpt and black for whitept will give color-inverted, normalized video. Shades of grey can be used to reduce the dynamic range (contrast). Specifying saturated colors here can create some interesting effects. Use the color-picker color picker or the color button to select the color.

Bemerkung

The Normaliz0r and Normalize RGB Video effects essentially do the same but produce slightly different results.
