Render Look

Filmic highlight rolloff with HDR bloom, halation, edge defocus and grain.

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

Exposure
Stops of gain before the tone curve. Centre is neutral.
Bloom
Light bleeding out of the highlights, gathered across four mip octaves.
Threshold
How bright a pixel must be before it blooms. Right keeps it to speculars only.
Halation
Wide red scatter around hot areas, the way film glows through its base.
Filmic
Highlight shoulder. Left clips like the rest of the catalogue, right rolls off.
Defocus
Lens softness and falloff toward the frame edge. Centre of frame stays sharp.
Grain
Sensor noise, weighted to the midtones so highlights stay clean.
Speed
Rate of the effect motion. Centre is the authored speed, hard left a tenth of it.
