Video Spice Rack

Casblanca Overview

INTRODUCING SPICE RACK

The word SpiceRack truly describes this product most fittingly. Using Video SpiceRack, you can give your videos exactly what they need - "Spicing them up" with a huge array of effects.

SpiceRack effects are 2D, mask-based transitions, easy-to-use, fast to produce and creatively satisifying. The supplied masks have been carefully designed to provide genuinely useful effects that complement and enhance your production, not distract or over-complicate.

THE SPICE RACK ENGINE

Video SpiceRack is based on masks from Pixélan Software. 200 of the best masks have been selected from their effects palette, licensed and adapted for Casablanca.

To use these masks, MacroSystem has created a set of 8 different specialized effects, the Video Mask Effects (VME), plus 5 transitions and 3 image-processing filters. These effects have been developed by MacroSystem Digital Video AG and are packaged with the Video SpiceRack masks.

SHARE YOUR MASKS

Every VME-effect has access to all 200 included Video SpiceRack masks, which offers a nearly unlimited number of options.

If you have installed other products which use masks, for example the Liquid-Images pack, then all these masks are available for shared use via the Image Pool.

This transition dissolves one scene to another, preceeded by a colored or patterned border. You can specify the effect mask, border width, border type and border colour/pattern.

 
 

VME Color Wipe  

This transition dissolves a burst of color or a pattern into a second scene and then back again. You can select the type of effect mask, the border (choose colour or pattern) and direction of the dissolve.  

 
 

VME Split Screen 

This effect dissolves from one scene to the next (and optionally back again) while both scenes play simutaneously. You can adjust the effect mask, the border width and the direction of the movement.

 
 

VME Border Split Screen 

This transition brings in the next scene within a masked border, plays the two scenes simultaneously and then the bordered scene expands across the screen, completing the transition. You can select the type of effect mask, the border and the movement.

This effect blends a scene into a coloured or a patterned mask and then blends back to the scene. You can select the type of effect mask, the border (colour or pattern) and direction of the dissolve. 

 
 

VME Mask 

This effect blends a scene into a colour or pattern. You can select the type of effect mask, the border and the movement.
