Apple Shake 4 - Manual (Page 1000)

So, an example:
shake -radiob “Not A Dufus” 53 NotADufus -t 1-4 -v
This creates four files, NotADufus.on.nri, NotADufus.on.focus.nri, NotADufus.off.nri, and
NotADufus.off.focus.nri, that are all 53 pixels wide and say “Not A Dufus” with different
states of being illuminated and focused.
Wallpaper Macro
This helps with button icons, but it is also an interesting way to quickly generate
animated backgrounds. It takes one vertical line from the input image and copies it
across the image. By animating the line, you get a continuous-noise generation (of sorts).
Wedge Macro
This command helps pull an exposure wedge on logarithmic files. You pick an initial
exposure setting, and then how far you want the wedging bracket to step (22 points,
45 points, 90 points, and so on). It then goes through 48 steps of color, brightness, and
contrast. You can do this on the command line:
shake mycineonframe.cin -wedge -t 1-48 -fo mywedge.#.cin
or
shake mycineonframe.cin -wedge -10 15 -9 -t 1-48 -fo mywedge.#.cin
