Description

Color

Picker

Defines the color for the box

Replace color and alpha

If the input has alpha, checking this will overwrite the video’s color and alpha pixels with the pixels of the painted box. By default (off), the box will be composited onto the input, leaving the video’s alpha intact.

X / Y Offset

Integer

Defines the starting point of the grid in pixels from the top left-hand corner of the monitor (coordinates are based on the project dimension settings)

Width

Integer

Defines the distance between vertical grid lines in pixels

Height

Integer

Defines the distance between horizontal grid lines in pixels

Thickness (px)

Integer

Defines the thickness of the line in pixels. If set high enough, the grid is essentially filled.

Hinweis

This effect can be used in combination with the Chroma Key: Basic or Chroma Key: Advanced effects to create interesting transitions by animating the number of grid lines and their thickness.
