“What are filters?”

Filters allow you to adjust the look and feel of your scenes to make them really shine.

You can adjust the Hue, Saturation, and Lightness, or use one of our Filter presets found on the web sidebar!        

You can also test different values by using the Filters tool on your mobile device.

To enable the Filters tool: Directing Helper > Filters Helper > None

(Tapping “None” turns HSL on; tapping “HSL” effectively turns your filter off).

You can also decide the Opacity, Blend Type, Colorization mode for your filter. These toggle how the color changes you’ve selected get applied.

Using Filters

The donacode syntax for a filter is as follows:

@set hsl Hue# Saturation# Lightness# colorization with blendMode TYPE to OPACITY%

Example:

@set hsl 0 -100 0 no_colorize with blendMode NORMAL to 100%

@reset hsl

ADDING A PREMADE FILTER to your script:

• Clicking on the filter in the “Filters” box will add the donacode directly into the script.

• These filters have been created by our art team to give you some presets that look great with any story!

CUSTOMIZING your filter:

• The first 3 values (“Hue# Saturation# Lightness#”) are for Hue, Saturation, and Lightness. These mirror Photoshop’s hue, saturation, and lightness parameters:

• Hue takes a number between -180 and 180
• Saturation takes a number between -100 and 100
• Lightness takes a number between -100 and 100

• colorization refers to whether you want to turn colorization ON or OFF.

• The options here are “colorize” or “no_colorize”.
• This is optional code to include. It will default to no_colorize if not included.

• “with blendMode TYPE” can be used to change how it blends with the existing image.

• The TYPE must be one of the following: NORMAL, OVERLAY, ADD, MULTIPLY
• This is optional code to include. It will default to NORMAL.

• “to OPACITY%” specifies how strong you’d like this filter to be:
• OPACITY takes a value between 0 and 100.
