Apply RiseShine to a clip in your timeline, like any built-in video effect. (Don't know how? Click here to see how to apply and use CreativEase effects.) After the RiseShine interface appears, either:

Choose a pre-made effect. Choose a saved setting or one or more section presets to INSTANTLY form a particular look.

Saved Settings

  Section Presets

Click the 'load' button at the top of our plugin to select a saved setting, which will instantly configure ALL CONTROLS into a cool effect.Several subfolders are included, organized by style. Single-click any saved setting to quickly preview and compare it with others. Double-click your final choice. . Click any section's Section Presets button, which will instantly configure controls ONLY IN THAT SECTION into a powerful combination. Presets are a great way to QUICKLY build USEFUL effects from scratch, or to modify a saved setting. Try a few -- THOUSANDS of combinations are provided!

Note: In Title presets you may need to adjust Softness up or down depending on how large/small the text is.

OR create a custom effect by manually adjusting. For this latter approach, generally the power of RiseShine is most easily accessed in two steps:

STEP 1. Set the general strength and gloss. Adjust the first four sliders in the Shine section -- Intensity, Softness, Gloss, and Height -- until a desired look is generally reached. These controls tend to have the most profound impact on the RiseShine effect. If you are applying RiseShine to a title clip or other alpha-channel graphic, be sure to select Alpha in the Channel submenu AND turn on the Mask with Alpha Channel check box at the bottom of the Shine section.

Instead of using a clip's luminance (pixel brightness/darkness) or alpha channel to mask the RiseShine effect, you can choose an RGB color channel in the Channel submenu. This is handy if your scene features well-defined color objects that you want to focus the effect on.

STEP 2.Fine-tune the effect. Use the remaining controls in the Shine and Extras sections to fine-tune the effect.
