What it does
Classic bloom pass — threshold the bright regions, blur them out, add them back over the original. Drives the "lit-up" feel on neon graphics and white-on-black sources. 3.0.10 adds a fifth pass: a directional anamorphic streak (with its own flare tint) plus optional lens ghosts, so highlights can throw a tinted Cinemascope flare and mirrored ghost dots. At default settings it matches the classic bloom exactly. Threshold, intensity, and the flare are audio-bindable so the whole thing can pulse on the kick.

Parameters
The controls you'll see in the inspector. Like every effect parameter in Visualz, each one is audio-bindable — route a frequency band, beat onset, sweep, or MIDI CC at it and it moves with the show.

Runs everywhere effects run
Drop Bloom on any of the four buses — clip, layer, track, or set — with pre-or-post placement and a per-effect dry/wet mix. Stack it with the rest of the chain freely; the engine batches everything into a single per-frame draw graph, and a chain you like can be saved as an FX preset and re-applied with one click.
