Light Painting

Holds on to every bright thing that passes, so moving lights draw on the frame the way an open shutter lets them.

Runs live on video, images, a camera or generated art. Stack it with any other effect, and route LFOs, envelopes or any of ten audio bands to its controls so it moves with the music.

Controls

Hold
How long a mark survives once nothing is re-lighting it. Hard right and the exposure never closes.
Catch
How bright something has to be before it leaves a mark. Low paints with the whole frame, high with the highlights only.
Drift
Travel of the held paint. At zero the marks stay where they were made; above it they slide and stretch into streaks.
Heading
Which way that travel goes, all the way round the clock.
Bleed
How much the paint spreads each pass. Low is a hard filament, high blooms every streak into a soft smear.
Shift
Hue turn per pass on the held paint, so a streak changes colour along its length as it ages. Centre holds the colour it was made in.
Glow
Weight of the painting over the live picture.
