Sarabography

Sarabography renders 3D text with procedural thunder and electricity effects, with full Unicode support (including right-to-left scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew).

Overview

To document

Describe what Sarabography does, when to reach for it, and the visual result. Add a hero image/GIF here (see Media below).

Adding it to your shot

Apply Sarabography from the SarabFX category in the Effects/OFX library of DaVinci Resolve, Nuke, Natron, or any other OFX-compatible host, then drag it onto your clip/node. (Restart the host after installing new plugins.)

Fill this table with the plugin's real UI parameters (group by the panels shown in the host).

Lua scripting

Sarabography can override parameters at render time via Lua — define a function named after the parameter you want to override, taking the current time as its argument:

-- General SarabFX Lua override pattern: a function named after the
-- parameter, returning the value to use at this render time.
function parameterName(time)
    return baseValue + wiggle(time, amplitude, frequency)
end

To document

List every scriptable parameter/hook exposed by Sarabography, the exact function names expected by the default script, and the helpers available (wiggle, time, etc.). See scripts/ for the bundled default script once one exists for this plugin.

Examples & media

Adding screenshots & videos

Drop assets in docs/assets/plugins/sarabography/ and embed them:

  • Image: ![What it shows](../assets/plugins/sarabography/example.png)
  • Video: a raw HTML5 block —
    <video controls width="100%"><source src="../assets/plugins/sarabography/demo.mp4" type="video/mp4"></video>
    

Tips & troubleshooting

To document

Common pitfalls, performance notes (GPU/frame cache), host-specific quirks. - Text measurements are recalculated every frame — very long strings or large point sizes may cost extra render time; document any practical limits found in testing.
