1. How the transparency fluctuation works

The transparency curve of the transparency fluctuation acts like flexi-collage on all of its child elements. I.e. The effect only achieves an effect if you insert additional elements. The transparency curve can be automatically varied via the settings, as this could be a very laborious process if done by hand.

2. Transparency curve properties

Strength (A) specifies to what extent the transparency curve may be altered. A positive value adjusts upwards (opacity will be increased), a negative downwards (opacity will be reduced). In order to make adjustments in both directions, change the input field to "Range" and type eg -20% to +20%.

Duration of fluctuation (B) determines how long the adjusted transparency remains until it returns to its initial state.

Minimum distance between fluctuations (C) indicates the time period which must exist between two fluctuations.

All values ​​may each be fixed or can be determined at random. To change the mode, click on the button to the right of the numeric input.

2. Example of use:

Imagine the projection of an old movie with a rear light projector, which still flickers nostalgically. To simulate this flickering, using the transparency fluctuation, you can set a white color area flickering over your pictures or videos The transparency fluctuation can also be found within the "old film" effect in the Toolbox.
