| Star Threshold |
0 to 255 |
This sets the level of highlights that will receive the star treatment. The lower the number, the more of your image becomes starry. |
| Star Length |
0 to 400 |
This sets the length of the arms of each star. Keyframe this to make your stars throb/pulse. |
| Star Angle |
-360 to 360 |
This sets the angle, in degrees, for the direction of the star. Keyframe this to create a real ‘twinkle’. |
| Star Brightness |
0 to 500 |
Larger numbers make for brighter stars. |
| Star Saturation |
-1 to 1 |
This controls how much colour, taken from the video, appears in each star. Negative numbers desaturate. |
| Star Sharpness |
0 to 254 |
This controls how soft or sharp the stars are. At higher numbers, the sharpness will eliminate the star points that are off axis of the set Star Angle. |
| Star Post Blur |
0 to 100 |

| Star Points |
2 to 10 |
Sets the number of points or arms for the stars. |
| Star Blend |
0 to 100 |
