— Track Original Sky: Automatically performs a track based on the sky in the original clip. Only works when the sky has existing details like clouds. This is the best and most reliable tracking method to use if your footage allows.
— Use FX tracker: Links to the track generated by the FX tracker in the tracker controls.
— Adjust Size: Lets you adjust the size of the sky, so that it can cover the range of motion defined in the tracker.
— Adjust Position: Lets you manually adjust the X and Y positions of the sky.
— Auto-Size for Motion: Analyzes the track and automatically sets the size and position of the sky to encompass the track’s extents.
— Flip Horizontal: Flips the sky on its horizontal axis.
Sky Integration
These controls help you match the attributes of the final sky to the foreground footage.
— Preview Final Sky: Check this box to view only the final sky output, including motion and any keyframed parameters.
— Lens Distortion: Adjust this to warp the sky to match the curvature of the original camera lens.
— Lens Defocus: Adjust this to move the sky out of focus and match the depth of field of the original lens.
— Exposure: Lets you adjust the overall brightness of the sky.
Foreground Appearance
Turning on these controls automatically attempts to adjust the overall look of the foreground, based on an analysis of parameters of the final sky.
— Adjust Foreground: Check this box to activate the Foreground Appearance tools below.
— Auto Adaptation: Selects the method by which the Foreground Appearance analysis is generated.
— None: No automatic settings are applied. You can manually adjust the parameters below.
— Globally Applied: The color cast is calculated from the visible sky and then applied globally to the foreground, with no variations in brightness. However, the color cast will update dynamically if the sky changes over time.
— Match Horizon: The color cast is calculated from the visible sky but is weighted towards the horizon, its distance set with the Localization control. This will make brighter/darker areas of the sky apply bright/darker changes to the foreground. For example, if you have a dark sky but a moon on the horizon, the foreground will be brighter around the moon than elsewhere. This also updates dynamically over time.
— Adaptation Amount: Lets you select how much adaptive color adjustment to make.
— Localization (Match Horizon only): Lets you determine how far or near the color cast reaches from the horizon.
— Brightness: Lets you adjust the foreground’s gain or brightness.
— Saturation: Lets you adjust the foreground’s saturation.
— Temperature: Lets you adjust the foreground’s color temperature.
— Tint: Lets you adjust the foreground’s tint.
