Scripting - Adding effects

Using ExtendScript, I need to add a Lumetri Color effect to a clip and set the Input LUT to a specific file. I can see the ComponentCollection for the clip, and it looks like the effects are items in this collection. Is it possible to add new effects to a clip, and how do you set their parameters?

Agree with e.d.... manipulating the parameters of existing effects,  including Lumetri Color should be somewhat doable,  but am not sure if/how you can add the effect with the public API only? But in the QE DOM you can use the addVideoEffect method.

Hi ,

Did you get any update ? can we apply INPUT LUT to any clip?

Also see this thread, your question seems very similar to me. Guess you'll have to do some trial-and-error.

Any chance anyone can shed a little more light on how to use the addVideoEffect() method in the admittedly "officially unsupported and not recommended" QE DOM? I've tried passing an effect's displayName, matchName, and a component object as an argument to the method and I get a "Bad argument list" message for each of those. Might someone know what arguments that method expects?

Thanks,

David

Hi,

while there are some ways to GET effect data (not all have yet been implemented), I have doubts you can (easily) SET them...

If that were the case, I believe Bruce Bullis​ would have updated the Sample Panel.
