Mojo: The Mojo effect warms the highlights and cools the shadows in footage. The Mojo slider controls the strength of that effect. Mojo Tint: Mojo Tint sets the hue of the green-blue shadows. It allows colors that range from powder blue to cyan to teal to green. Those cool shadows can range from royal blue to emerald green, although most stylizations opt for the teal hue in between. Mojo Balance: Mojo Balance controls the boundary between cool shadows and warm highlights. This slider determines which tones are shadows and which are highlights, which is especially helpful if the shadows are at an extremely high setting. The pivot point can be scaled using the slider to accommodate darker shots. Warm It: The Warm It slider controls overall color temperature by by making the overall image look more orange. However, you can look at this control as a Warm and Cool control, with positive values making the image more orange and negative values making the image more blue. Punch It: Mojo tries not to affect the overall contrast of your image, but if you want to add some contrast, use the Punch It slider. This is a contrast control that modulates saturation as it is increased. The contrast is across the entire color range. Bleach It: The Bleach It control lets you vary the overall color saturation. The control provides a way to add or remove saturation from the final result. As the slider value increases, the image loses color. With negative values, colors become more saturated. Skin Color: Skin Color is a Hue offset for skin. This control nudges the skin hues a bit. Skin Color may also shift other colors in the footage that are close to a skin tone, including the non-flesh tones, so you need to be mindful of the adjustment. Skin Squeeze: Often skin tones are too varied in color, and sometimes people's skin can take on a blotchy appearance. Skin Squeeze compresses the skin tones to be more uniform in hue. This compression or 'squeezing' reduces blotchiness and unifies uneven complexions, which has the effect of flattening out skin tones. Skin Solo: Making people stand out against the background is a big part of modern movie visuals. Skin Solo reduces the saturation of all colors in the image that aren't skin, which can help simplify your color palette and make the shot less busy. Desaturating any color that isn't skin helps to focus attention on the subject of the shot, making that person 'pop' in the scene. Strength: Controls the overall strength of the Mojo Tool. 0% will effectively turn off the Mojo Tool, whereas 100% will apply the Mojo Tool at full strength. |
