Pixellate
Turns an image into a mosaic of blocks using colors taken from an object. The scale of the blocks
can be increased or decreased.
This lter causes rasterization in 3D groups. For more information on rasterization, see Groups
and rasterization on page 1045.
Original image
Pixellate filter applied
Parameters in the Inspector
•
Center: Sets the position of the center of the pixellation eect. Drag the Center onscreen
control to adjust its value in the Canvas.
•
Scale: Sets the scale of the pixellation.
•
Mix: Sets the percentage of the original image to be blended with the ltered image.
•
Publish OSC: Publishes the lter’s onscreen controls in Final Cut Pro X. For more information on
creating content for use in Final Cut Pro, see Final Cut Pro X templates overview on page 385.
Posterize
Reduces the number of colors in an image to a set number per color channel, adjustable using
the Levels parameter.
Original image
Posterize filter applied
Parameters in the Inspector
•
Levels: Sets the number of levels of posterization.
•
Mix: Sets the percentage of the original image to be blended with the ltered image.
Relief
Uses the color values of an object or height map to calculate height vertices, creating the
appearance of a 3D height map.
Note: Because this lter simulates depth, an object with the Relief lter applied does not interact
with 3D aspects of Motion.
