The BCC Brightness-Contrast filter allows for precise control over the brightness and contrast of your image.
Included channel selection allows for refined adjustment of the individual red, green, and blue channels, while PixelChooser with built in mocha tracking provide the user with advanced masking and tracking solutions.
Presets and Common Controls
BCC filters come with a library of factory installed presets plus the ability to create your own custom presets and preview them with the BCC FX Browser™.
BCC filters also include common controls that configure global effect preferences and other host-specific effect settings.

Filter Parameters
Compare Mode: The BCC Compare Mode provides a convenient mechanism to compare the effect result with the original source layer. It provides several variations on basic split-screen views with the filtered clip placed next to the unedited original.

Brightness: Used to adjust the brightness of the image. Increasing the Brightness setting pushes colors toward white, and decreasing the setting pushes colors toward black.
Contrast: Used to adjust the contrast of the image. Increasing the Contrast setting pushes colors toward pure colors, and decreasing the setting pushes colors toward 50% gray.
Channels: Used to select the RGB channel that will be adjusted.
- RGB: The filter is applied equally to the RGB channel.
- Red: The filter is applied only to the Red channel.
- Green: The filter is applied only to the Green channel.
- Blue: The filter is applied only to the Blue channel.
- Red and Green: The filter is applied to the Red and Green channel equally.
- Red and Blue: The filter is applied to the Red and Blue channel equally.
- Green and Blue: The filter is applied to the Green and Blue channel equally.
- Difference: uses the difference between each filtered channel and the corresponding source channel.

PixelChooser/ Mocha Group
Mocha Mask: Click to launch the Mocha custom UI
The BCC PixelChooser provides a way for the user to select which pixels in the filtered source are actually going to be affected by the filter, via the generation of image based mattes, gradient mattes and vector shape masks. Mocha planar tracking and vector shape masking options are included in the PixelChooser, which allows for the generation of motion-tracked mask shapes as a hold-back mask.
