Presets and Randomize
Ditheron's built-in Looks give you a starting point for your shot. Each Look sets several controls at once. Choose one, then adjust it to suit your footage.
Start with a named direction
The 3.0-era Looks are useful signposts across the new modes.
| Look | Mode and starting idea |
|---|---|
| Carrier Current | Reactive Retro with a carrier-led treatment. |
| Delaunay Voltage | Reactive Modern with Structure: Polygonal. |
| Voroni Bloom | Reactive Modern with Structure: Polygonal and a fuller luminous treatment. |
| Scannar Current | Scannar with a source-reactive scan field. |
| Contour Voltage | Traceweaver with Trace Style: Contour Web. |
| Sketch Surge | Traceweaver with Trace Style: Sketch Constellation. |
| Phosphor Dream | Loscillator with a phosphor beam treatment. |
| Liquid Ice | Reactive Modern's liquid direction. |
Recursion, Teal Sundry, Glow Beam, Litmus Ghosts, Slat City, Dot Life, Aqua Tiger, and BlockTron are additional factory starting points. Use the Look name to find an atmosphere, then let the active mode tell you which controls to explore.
Save and recall your own looks
Ditheron provides 300 user-preset slots. Choose a slot in User Preset to load a saved look. To save a new one, enter a name in Preset Name and press Save Preset. Select the saved look in User Preset before pressing Delete Preset so the intended look is removed.
Use Browse Looks when you want to search and load saved looks from the EZSCAPE look browser. It is useful when names carry the edit's intent: "blue title pulse," "wide contour hold," or "late-night scan." The browser is for finding and loading looks; every look still deserves a quick pass on the clip where it will be used.
The visible preset controls also include importing and managing custom palettes. Import Palette accepts hex colors or a Coolors.co URL, and Import Palette applies that field. Custom Palette Name, Save Custom Palette, Load Custom Palette, and Delete Custom Palette keep a reusable five-color palette nearby.
Randomize without losing the good parts
Randomize makes a new look from every unlocked group. Open Locks first and choose what should stay fixed:
☼ Dither holds the active dither choices.
☼ Color holds palette and color decisions.
☼ Modulation holds the reactive field.
☼ Glow holds the light treatment.
☼ Adjustments holds the image preparation controls.
☼ Reaction & Targeting holds the driver and placement decisions.
☼ Output holds the final mix.
This makes randomize useful inside an edit. Lock a palette, a target, and an output balance that already support the scene. Leave Dither or Modulation unlocked when you need fresh structure. In a custom palette, each Lock 1 through Lock 5 protects its matching color; Randomize Palette changes only the unlocked colors according to Harmony Mode.
Try this: find an opening-title language
-
Start with Delaunay Voltage, Contour Voltage, or Carrier Current, depending on whether the title needs facets, lines, or a carrier field.
-
Lock Color once the palette belongs to the project.
-
Lock Output when the shot already sits correctly with the source.
-
Randomize Dither and Modulation until the title has its own gesture.
-
Name and save the result before moving to the next shot.
Keep a look useful
Save a look after it works on footage, then test it on the next shot before assuming it is a universal grade. Source-driven modes respond to contrast, edges, and movement, so a preset is a reliable starting point and a living choice rather than a fixed overlay.
