Au Naturel offers photographic video tools for enhancing visuals.
Au Naturel is a software plug-in that is compatible with Adobe After Effects, Apple's Final Cut Pro, Autodesk (Discreet) Combustion, and other compatible hosts. It significantly enhances the quality of your footage by enabling you to work on it in a 32-bit per channel floating point linear RGB color space. This results in much more natural-looking composites, blurs, and correction of your footage.
The tool comes with six built-in effects that allow you to create amazing looking footage. One effect is "Adjust Exposure," which allows you to adjust the exposure of your footage easily in f-stops for more realistic and pleasing results.
Another effect is "Levels," which operates similarly to your host application's built-in Levels function, but without the limitations. You can set levels above the maximum or below the minimum pixel values, offering you a significantly wider range to work with, with values that are preserved for the next effect to work with rather than being clipped.
In addition, "Gaussian Blur" produces a much more naturalistic looking blur effect than your built-in Gaussian Blur. It also enables you to determine how the edges are managed and whether to apply the blur to a single channel or all channels.
Likewise, "Directional Blur" provides the same incredible results as the Gaussian Blur, creating more realistic-looking outcomes than those produced by your host's built-in Blur feature.
With "Transform," you can scale, rotate, translate and skew your image using sub-pixel precision and high-quality resampling algorithms for sharp results comparing to other in-built tools.
Lastly, "Composite" is an effect that allows you to combine different scenes together in linear RGB while using a separate alpha channel for each color channel. This feature allows you to reproduce real-world light interactions for improved realistic-looking footage, and the outcome is phenomenal.
The latest release included a fix in the directional blur filter, eliminating changes in the blur length as the angle changes. To utilise this tool, you'd require Adobe After Effects 6.0 or later, Final Cut Pro 4 or later, or Combustion 3 or later. Au Naturel is an incredible software application that is undoubtedly worth your time and investment for better-quality footage.
