How to use Pencil Rubbing

Pencil Rubbing transitions between two clips as it recreates the looks of rubbing colored pencils over an image template.
 
Setup

Set the picture color properties and set the angle of the pencil.

  • Color Shift shifts the colors around the color wheel, for example so blues become greens and greens become yellows. This is useful to effect a subtle (or not so subtle) change in the color palette.
  • Color adjusts the color richness, or saturation of the image. Turn this down to remove color; turn it up to enhance the colors.
  • Brightness sets the over all light level of the image.
  • Contrast sets the image contrast. Above 0 increases contrast, for darker darks and lighter lights. Below 0 reduces contrast, resulting in a duller image.
  • Angle sets the direction of the brush stroke.
  • Tempo sets the speed at which the effect changes the image. For a sudden change, set the Tempo high. For a gradual change, set it low.
  • Attack controls how fast the transition move from start to full effect.
  • Release controls how fast the transition moves from full effect to end.
  • Cross Fade sets the percentage of the transition that includes a cross fade of the from one clip to the next. Turn down Cross Fade for an abrupt switch between images. Turn it up for a gradual mix.
