|
||
|
||
<h2 id="description">Description</h2>
|
||
<p>Applies a stylized “bad Predator heat vision” effect to the input video.<br />
|
||
This intentionally degraded thermal-vision look mimics the broken or low-budget interpretation of the thermal-view used in the <em>Predator</em> films — surreal color distortion, thermal-like banding, exaggerated edge detection, and unstable gradients.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2 id="purpose">Purpose</h2>
|
||
<p><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">bad_predator</code> is designed for creators who want to:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>add a faux–heat vision aesthetic,</li>
|
||
<li>produce psychedelic or thermal-like color distortions,</li>
|
||
<li>disrupt realism with genre-coded VFX,</li>
|
||
<li>introduce mood, abstraction, or sci-fi ambience,</li>
|
||
<li>create an intentionally <em>wrong</em> or glitchy interpretation of cinematic thermal vision.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h2 id="how-it-works">How It Works</h2>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li><strong>Thermal Color Remapping</strong><br />
|
||
The video is transformed into an artificial temperature-based palette, often with exaggerated reds, blues, greens, and neon ranges.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Edge Boosting & Gradient Distortion</strong><br />
|
||
Edges may “glow,” flatten, or warp, imitating digital thermal sensors or corrupted color channels.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Contrast Folding</strong><br />
|
||
Shadows and highlights are redistributed into stylized color bins rather than natural brightness patterns.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Encoding</strong><br />
|
||
Output is encoded using global Videobeaux settings (codec, CRF, pixel format).</li>
|
||
</ol>

<h2 id="technical-notes">Technical Notes</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>The effect is purely stylistic — not physically accurate thermal imaging.</li>
|
||
<li>Works best on footage with strong silhouettes or motion, where thermal-emulated contrast is most visible.</li>
|
||
<li>If the global pixel format is set to low bit depth (e.g., 8-bit), banding interacts strongly with the effect, enhancing the “bad thermal” look.</li>
|
||
<li>Use <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">chain_builder</code> to combine with other stylized processes for multi-layer sci-fi or horror visuals.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h2 id="recommended-usage">Recommended Usage</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Music videos, experimental film, and glitch-aesthetic sequences.</li>
|
||
<li>Sci-fi projects referencing Predator-style heat vision.</li>
|
||
<li>Stylized surveillance overlays or false-sensor aesthetics.</li>
|
||
<li>Abstract color grading for live visuals or performance art.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h2 id="quality-tips">Quality Tips</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Apply before compression-heavy steps to preserve the color distortions.</li>
|
||
<li>Combine with <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">bad_contrast</code>, <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">hash_fingerprint</code>, or <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">bad_animation</code> for a fully degraded sensory aesthetic.</li>
|
||
<li>Use lower CRF values to avoid washing out the neon tonal ranges.</li>
|
||
<li>Consider pairing with <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">gamma_fix</code> to stabilize midtone visibility before applying the effect.</li>
|
||
</ul>
