Blend-X
Free AVX2 plugin for applying blend-modes in AVID
• 64bit AVX2 win/mac plug-in for Avid MC6+ up to 2023.+
• 32bit per RGB/YUV channel float point image processing
• blend modes matching references (they look like in any other apps)
• blend transitions
• Matte key with blend modes - amazing as never before
• And megacrazy WOWpowered 200% "Magic Slider"! :)
• everything you need - in a single small zip package !
• also included waveform QC with three blinking squares on the gray background (wow!)
• introducing False Color mode in the Oscilloscope
• pure CPU powered plugin without any GPU tricks - more CPU - more speed :)
With your help - we tested hundreds of setups
Now confirmed that Blend-X works on almost any MC system
From old MC 6x systems up to new MC 2023 and Macs on Mojave and up to Ventura
The only limitation is a very old system or CPU
The missing blendmodes compositing plugin ! It’s here for free!
Note: If OSx Gatekeeper does not allow you to install the package - just run it with right click->open.
Beta-8
This beta introduces "Blend-X Transition" effect
It allows you to make transitions using some blend modes
I'ts a kind of additive dissolve ...
Beta-7
This beta introduces "False Color" mode in the Oscilloscope
False color is one of the most effective exposure tools.
The concept of false color is quite simple:
different luminance values are represented by distinct colors
to give you a clear understanding of the exposure levels
of every part of your image.
