Brightness curve adjust is an iMovie plug-in that lets you exert photoshop-level control over brightness in your clips.

A pixel's brightness is determined by it's composition of red, green, and blue values. A perfect digital image has a linear brightness range running straight from zero to 255. However, most devices (and especially photo paper) do not perceive light in a linear fashion. The straight line becomes distorted. This plug-in can either distort or repair a clip's brightness curve.

Brightness curve adjust sports one 256 by 256 array for individual brightness settings, plus pre-set and parametric calculation routines (plus the ability to load from or save your pre-sets to disk)


Note: Brightness curve adjust is more powerful, but less intuitive to use than our 'Brightness Equalizer' plug-in. If your main goal is to adjust a digital clip to normal film media brightness behavior, you should use our brightness equalizer plug-in.

Here are some key features of "Brightness Curve Adjust":
one 256 band graphical brightness array
edit the brightness array interactively by simply clicking the mouse
get live feedback for all your changes while you edit the curve
pre-sets: linear, inverse, n-step (up/down), bell curve (normal, inverted), hyperbolic (4 variants), level, s-curve (normal, inverted)
parametric pre-sets: you control how the preset calculates the values
load and save any setting to disk as an editable text file
choose reference color
reference color displayed in as reference line
master f/x to mix result with original
HD compatibility.

What's New:
parametric pre-sets
HD compatibility
remember settings between iMovie sessions
live preview while setting up curve
2.0 core.

Requirements:
iMovie 3.
