SpiceMASTER 2.5 PRO provides four more unique capabilities:
3. The MIXER for FILM Dissolves and Much More (separate page)
4. Soft/Organic Effects for Titles & Graphics
5. Unique Animated/Soft/Organic PIPs
6. Custom Enhancements for Black & White Mattes
4. Soft/Organic Effects for Titles & Graphics (PRO only)
SpiceMASTER PRO powerfully supplements your built-in titler or CG/title program. Reveal or hide titles, graphics, logos, lower-thirds, or backgrounds with a subtle, beautiful 'directional' dissolve or a flowing, organic, natural-looking edge. Blend and animate content, colors, highlights, effects, etc. WITHIN titles. Feather text rolls/crawls seamlessly as they enter or leave the frame, a graphic, a PIP, etc. to add a classy touch. |
| |
| |
| All movies at right are 120x90 15fps AVI movies, each approximately 350K. |
|
| |  |
   | | | | A softly curved, left-to-right directional dissolve reveals the text, which also has a soft bevel and glow applied with SM. |
| The Attitude statement is softly revealed and then faded as it moves near the frame edge. |
| |
| |
 |
|  |
| | | | | The title's blue color and white border organically erodes from left to right as the title scales larger. All aspects of this effect were accomplished with SM. |
| As the Saturday Night text zooms larger, a multicolor noise filter controlled by SpiceMASTER animates outward within the text. |
| |
| |
 |
|  |
| | | | | The D1 title clip did not have a border or glow originally, but SpiceMASTER added that enhancement in addition to organically "dripping" the title semi-transparently over the background. |
| Three more examples of organic reveals -- and SpiceMASTER enhanced title styles. Cutting Edge -- a glow and border added. Organic -- a bevel and shadow for depth. Revealing -- a light sheen and border edge applied. |
| |
| |
 |
|  |
| | | | | The organic white border and logo border are both applied via SpiceMASTER. |
| Note how the trailing edge fits the rough organic texture of the water. Texture controls accomplish this easily. |
| |
| |
 |
|  |
| | | | | The logo is revealed progressively from its center. The bevel in the logo was also applied by SpiceMASTER. |
| Use SM to softly fade rolls/crawls. Or any region or image edge, such as around a graphic/logo or text. Just drag and position as desired! |
| |
| |
 |
| |
| | | | | SpiceMASTER applied to the title to add a glow and to softly fade the title as it crawls to the left. |
| The Attitude statement is softly revealed and then faded as it moves near the frame edge. |

| 5. Unique Animated/Soft/Organic PIPs (PRO only)
No longer must you limit PIP (picture-in-picture) effects to hard-edged rectangular looks. SpiceMASTER PRO can instead easily frame PIPs with a different shape, soft edge, glow, organic border, shadow, special texture, or numerous other treatments. You can even create PIPs with organic shapes that animate! |
| |
| |
| All movies at right are 120x90 15fps AVI movies, each approximately 350K. |
|
| |  |
| | | | | An organic animated PIP with a multicolor border (that pulses colors over time) frames the high-energy ski action. |
| A soft glow and organic shape adds a unique touch to this PIP. SpiceMASTER also allowed the runner clip to be independently zoomed within the PIP area. |
| |
| |
 |
|  |
| | |
| | This organic PIP flies out of the eye and features a beveled organic edge, then returns to the eye. SpiceMASTER enables you to precisely position such a PIP easily. |
| A traditional frame-shaped PIP has a distinctive touch with SpiceMASTER's edge softening. In this case, the softness is bezier curve keyframed to accelerate over time. |
| |
| |
 |
| |
| | | |
| If you have favorite motion paths available in your editing software, you can apply SpiceMASTER's PIP power to those. Above, a butterfly-like motion path is combined with an organic spice (and hard shadow for depth) to create a unique PIP. |

| 6. Custom Enhancements for B & W Mattes (PRO only)
Most video editing software can load a still-image as a matte to show another clip within a shape. But at that point, there is not much more you can do with the matte. To make even a slight adjustment to its edge, position, shape, etc. you typically need to return to a titler or graphics program and attempt changes by trial and error -- wasting valuable time. Avoid matte tedium in SpiceMASTER. Just load the matte and then easily fine-tune it. Position and scale it on the fly, for example, perhaps adding a shadow, glow or softness to the matte's edge. You can even organically animate the edge! Virtually ALL effect enhancements in SpiceMASTER are available to you. |
| |
| |
| All movies at right are 120x90 15fps AVI movies, each approximately 350K. |
|
| |
 |
| | |
| | Fly/zoom any matte to create custom iris transitions of logos or thematic shapes, while independently keeping a moving subject within the opening. |
|
Another example of a zoomed custom matte. You can add bevels, shadows, glows or other enhancements to them easily. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
 |
| | |
| | Enhance a matte of a custom ID logo with a border and shadow applied in SpiceMASTER, then scale the logo from full-size to the standard semi-transparent corner position. |
|
SpiceMASTER can add animated organic edges to simple matte frames for video or picture montages. A huge variety of edge treatments are possible. Three are shown above. |
