Aescripts Composite Brush
Composite Brush is an accurate and easy to use color selector and modifier for After Effects. Create a selection with just a few strokes, and modify colors or pull a key with the effect.
This script enables users to paint directly on their footage, applying masks and effects in a way that mimics traditional painting techniques. See more Aescripts TextDelay
Features
- The plugin is unique from other color correction or keying plugins in that it always sources the pixels of the layer it’s on while ignoring any effects that come beneath it. This creates a huge advantage by always keying from the original colors of the shot, allowing you to stack color and keying effects before it, and still keeping the same key.
- That being said, any effects that change the size or shape of the layer, will cause issues. Because Composite Brush ignores the effects before it, if you were to blur or Distort the layer before Composite Brush, the color change from Composite Brush would still appear sharply on the original image. The solution is to put any distortions or blurs after Composite Brush in the effects chain or to just pre-compose all effects and use Composite Brush on the Pre-comp.
- Custom Brush Painting: Users can paint masks or effects directly onto their footage, using various brush shapes, sizes, and settings.
- Alpha/Color Masks: You can create masks based on the alpha channel of your footage or paint in colors depending on the effect you want to achieve.
- Ease of Use: The interface is designed to be user-friendly, allowing for simple painting without the need for complicated keyframing techniques.
- Integration with After Effects: It seamlessly integrates with After Effects’ existing tools and can be used in conjunction with other effects and layers.
- Efficiency: By allowing for direct interaction with visual elements, it can speed up workflows, making it ideal for tasks like rotoscoping, painting over footage, or creating intricate visual effects.
- This plugin is mostly color based. For example, if there’s a color RGB ‘Green’ (47, 240, 38) in the foreground, and the same exact color RGB ‘Green’ (47, 240, 38) is in the background, both pixels are very likely to receive the same exact selection value. Color carries the heaviest weight when determining the alpha value, the other qualities of the image, a lot less.
