Gamma
The Gamma group controls how Thicc Pro blends colors between gradient stops. Use it when a gradient looks too dark, too bright, too flat, or visually different from what you expect in the After Effects composition viewer.
Auto is usually the best choice because it automatically updates to use the physically correct amount of blending even if you change your project colorspace settings.
Gamma affects gradient interpolation and does not change Solid Color, Master Opacity, or gradient stop opacity. If Gradient Blending is set to 0%, Gamma will have no impact.
Gamma amounts and how they affect the Gradient UI preview in RGB colorspaceControls
Gamma Factor
Gamma Factor
Gamma Factor sets the gamma value used when Gamma Mode is Custom.
The default is 1.0. Higher values usually make color blends feel more perceptually even in gamma-encoded spaces. A value around 2.2 is a common choice for sRGB-style interpolation.
Use Custom when you want a specific or stylized look that should stay the same regardless of the composition working space.
Gamma Info
Gamma Info
Gamma Info shows the approximate gamma of the composition's working color profile.
It is available when Gamma Mode is Auto. Use it when you want to confirm what Thicc Pro is reading from the After Effects project before deciding whether to stay in Auto, switch to Custom, or turn correction Off.
Interactions
Color Mode
Gamma only affects Color Mode: Gradient.
When Color Mode is Solid, there are no gradient stops to interpolate between, so the Gamma controls are disabled.
Color Space
Gamma works together with Color Space.
Thicc Pro linearizes gradient stop colors using the active gamma value, blends them in the selected color space, then converts the result back for display. This means RGB, HSL, and Oklab can each respond a little differently to the same Gamma Mode.
If a gradient feels muddy or unexpectedly vivid, try Color Space first, then adjust Gamma Mode if the overall blend brightness still feels wrong.
Gradient Preview
The Color Gradient preview uses the same gamma settings as the rendered stroke, so the gradient bar should closely match the final result.
In linear working spaces, Thicc Pro also applies a display correction to the preview so it better matches After Effects' composition viewer.
Gradient Repeat and Mirror
Gamma is used when Thicc Pro creates generated colors for repeated, wrapped, or mirrored gradients.
This helps wrap boundaries, mirror edges, inserted stops, and repeated gradients blend consistently with the main gradient.
Repeater and Gradient Cycle
Gamma affects each repeated copy the same way it affects the original stroke.
When Gradient Cycle offsets the gradient per copy, the cycled colors are still interpolated using the active Gamma Mode and Color Space.
