I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of Palette Mapper for Adobe After Effects.
Palette Mapper is an exciting plugin for Adobe After Effects that extracts the color palette from a video sequence on a frame-by-frame basis and maps it horizontally into an image using vertical lines. Palette Mapper can be used as a creative application to produce beautiful imagery, or as an analytical tool for the study of color grading in film, video and animation.
Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)
Palette Mapper works by scanning each frame of the footage, analyzing all the pixel values to extrapolate an averaged frame color, and mapping them into a set of sequential vertical lines. The result is an image showcasing the changes in tone and luminance throughout the entire length of a sequence. Although there are various tools available to achieve a similar effect, it’s always been through a complex and time consuming process, often hindered by technical limitations.
Monsters, Inc. (2001)
From creative backgrounds to film analysis, Palette Mapper is a must-have plugin for artists, videographers and designers alike. For more info, check out the Palette Mapper Product Page!
Have fun,
