Filter types

Reeltime provides the following filters for input slots, library slots, and output slots:

  • Crop with a height/width/offset (with option to lock aspect ratio) and a top/bottom/left/right mode and an auto-detection to crop out black-bordered camera OSDs
  • Flip for flipping the image horizontally/vertically
  • Transform with scale, rotation, and offset parameters, e.g., for re-positioning cropped layers of a compositing
  • Anamorphic Desqueeze with various lens squeeze factors for de-squeezing signals shot with anamorphic lenses; its “Extent” parameter allows choosing the resulting dimensions after desqueezing and the scale slider allows fitting the disquieted contents to the available canvas size
  • Fit to Canvas filter with a customizable canvas color adapts signals in other aspect ratios to the 16:9 viewer canvas, allowing overlays on the entire viewer area
  • Frame Lines filter with ARRI FLLIT XML and ASC-FDL import, see the dedicated Frame Lines filterarticle for further details
  • Metadata Overlay with parameters for the metadata fields Camera, Slate Info, Slot Mode (Playback/Live), Tally State (Record/Live/Play/Pause), Clip Name, Timecode and Custom Text
  • Tally with various indicator options, and style and size parameters allows to apply an on-screen tally to indicate the current operation state (Record, Record Rehearsal, Live, Play, Pause) in various styles
  • Image Overlay with opacity, scale, offset parameters, e.g., for adding a watermark or overlaying frame lines from a PNG
  • LUT for loading a 3D LUT in a .cube format, e.g., for applying a look if you receive an ungraded signal

Chroma key and compositing filters: The application provides the following chroma key and compositing filters for input slots, library slots, or output slots:

  • Keyer with various matte and fill control parameters and a spill suppression allows real-time removal of greenish or blueish areas from live or playback signals and creating a transparent, isolated foreground for compositing (via the overlay layout mode of a composite slot)
  • Color Adjust with basic color adjustment parameters such as contrast, temperature and saturation (e.g., for balancing the foreground and background of a compositing)
  • Blur adds a Gaussian blur (e.g., for softening the background plate of a compositing)
