# Edge Detect

Use Edge Detect to trace the edges in a clip based on colour. This data can then be used to create a range of artisitc effects in various colour spaces.

You can access the Edge Detect effect in the following ways:

- As a Batch node. This node accepts a front clip and a matte clip, and outputs a result and output matte clip.
- As a Modular Keyer node. You can add an Edge Detect node to any part of the pipeline except to the Front and Matte pipes of MBlend nodes and the Matte pipes of CBlend nodes.
- From the EditDesk. Select Flame FX from the A/V Tools box and then click Edge Detect. You can select Front or Front/Matte from the Input Mode box.
