# wbflare
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
Applies a blown-out white-balance flare that washes the frame in bright, overexposed warmth.
|
|
The effect simulates a camera whose white balance has catastrophically failed, producing harsh brightness spikes, color melt, and an unstable exposure cast.
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
`wbflare` is designed for creators who want:
|
|
- intense, flared overexposure resembling broken auto-WB,
|
|
- cinematic whiteouts and warm, blooming flare pulses,
|
|
- chaotic light wash reminiscent of damaged DSLR sensors,
|
|
- a stylized flare aesthetic for music videos, montage, or collage,
|
|
- a single-command solution with no configuration required.
|
|
|
|
## How It Works
|
|
1. **White Balance Miscalibration Simulation**
|
|
The image is shifted toward overly warm, blown-out values.
|
|
2. **Flare Bloom**
|
|
Bright areas bloom outward aggressively, swallowing surrounding detail.
|
|
3. **Exposure Push**
|
|
Midtones and highlights ascend toward near-white, creating clip-heavy transitions.
|
|
4. **Encoding**
|
|
Output is encoded using Videobeaux global CRF, codec, and pixel-format settings.
|
|
|
|
## Program Template
|
|
```bash
|
|
videobeaux -P wbflare \
|
|
-i input.mp4 \
|
|
-o output.mp4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Arguments
|
|
- *(No additional program-specific arguments; uses global videobeaux options only.)*
|
|
|
|
## Real World Example
|
|
```bash
|
|
videobeaux -P wbflare \
|
|
-i myvideo.mp4 \
|
|
-o wbflare_styled.mp4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

## Technical Notes
|
|
- Flare intensity is influenced by scene brightness—high-key footage becomes extremely washed out.
|
|
- Skin tones may lose detail entirely as white balance collapses.
|
|
- Compression interacts strongly with blown highlights; higher CRF introduces chaotic flare grit.
|
|
- Works well as a transition or emotional accent, especially during musical peaks.
|
|
|
|
## Recommended Usage
|
|
- Music-video chorus drops or emotional surges.
|
|
- Stylized whiteouts in experimental film or collage.
|
|
- Dreamlike or transcendental sequences.
|
|
- Grungy digital “camera malfunction” aesthetics.
|
|
- Transitional flare blasts between scenes.
|
|
|
|
## Quality Tips
|
|
- Lower CRF preserves cleaner bloom gradients.
|
|
- Higher CRF produces gritty, noisy flare textures.
|
|
- Pair with `overexposed_stutter` for extreme blown-out instability.
|
|
- Combine with `bad_contrast` to deepen shadows beneath the flare.
|
|
- Apply before LUTs for LUT-reactive highlights; apply after LUTs for a uniform whiteout.
