S_Monochrome Generates a monochrome version of the source clip using adjustable weights for the red, green, and blue channels. This can simulate the use of a color filter applied to the lens of a black and white camera. For example, use more red weight to darken blue sky areas of the input. The weights are scaled so they sum to 1 before being used to reduce overall brightness changes when they are adjusted. In the Sapphire Adjust effects submenu. Inputs: Source:  The current layer.   The clip to be processed.

Parameters:

Weight Red:   Default: 0.3,  Range: -1 to 1.

Weight Green:   Default: 0.5,  Range: -1 to 1.
The relative contribution of the source's green channel.

Weight Blue:   Default: 0.2,  Range: -1 to 1.
The relative contribution of the source's blue channel
