This plug-in for iMovie, called 3D Color Rotate, offers color effects to rotate and enhance your video footage in a 3D space.
If you are an iMovie user, 3D Color Rotate is one plugin that you should be checking out. It is a must-have software that allows you to rotate the colors of a clip in RGB color space. Not only can you make 'simple' color rotations, but you can also rotate all colors relative to a specific color.
At this point, you may be wondering why you would need to set a rotation origin. Setting an origin becomes quickly apparent as the origin of a rotation stays the same. Thus, the origin color and colors close to it are almost unchanged, while colors further away are changed more.
Additionally, this plugin provides three different ways to handle colors that fall beyond the color space. The results of this effect are usually strange and psychedelic, but they are nonetheless interesting, as even after rotation, the clip's colors keep their relative distance to each other (with some of the bounds modes).
Here are some of the parameters 3D Color Rotate uses:
- Offset: This sets the origin of the rotation of all colors. It defaults to black, which coincides with 0,0,0 in 'color space'. All colors will be turned around this color. This means that colors in the clip that are close to this color are changed least, while colors that are further away are changed more.
- X Rotate: Specifies the rotation of all colors around the x-axis (which coincides with red).
- Y Rotate: Specifies the rotation of all colors around the y-axis (which coincides with green).
- Z Rotate: Specifies the rotation of all colors around the z-axis (which coincides with blue).
- Bounds Pop-up: This defines how colors are treated when they fall outside the normal RGB color cube. The plugin supports the following methods:
- Clamp: The color is simply clamped to the walls of the color cube.
- Wrap: A color that falls outside one side will re-enter at the opposite side. Note that this can create large color shift even with minuscule color changes.
- Mirror: When a color exceeds the color boundary, it is simply bounced back. This creates the smoothest colors.
In conclusion, 3D Color Rotate is a powerful plugin that offers several customization options to users. The ability to rotate all colors relative to a specific color, while leaving the origin color and colors close to it unchanged, sets it apart from other color effect plugins. It's a must-have for anyone looking to elevate their iMovie game.
