Sapphire Plug-ins for Autodesk: Distort

Distort

In the S_Distort Plugin.

Warps the source input clip using the gradient of the Lens input clip. This can generate optical glass-like effects as if the source clip were being viewed through an arbitrarily shaped lens. It is best demonstrated when the lens image contains just a few bold shapes or a simple texture.

Inputs:

Source: The clip to be processed.

Lens: Distorts the source using the brightness values of this input clip.

Parameters:

Load Preset: Push-button .
Brings up the Preset Browser to browse all available presets for this effect.

Save Preset: Push-button .
Brings up the Preset Save dialog to save a preset for this effect.

Amount: Default: 1, Range: any, Shared .
The severity of the lens distortions. Make negative to invert the direction of the distortions.

Blur Lens: Default: 0.5, Range: 0 or greater, Shared .
Smooths out the edges in the lens image by this amount before using it.

Rotate Warp Dir: Default: 0, Range: any, Shared .
Rotates the warping direction by this many degrees. If non-zero, this can add some unusual twisting effects to the lens distortion.

Wrap: X & Y,  Popup menu,  Default: [ Reflect Reflect ].
Determines the method for accessing outside the borders of the source image.
No: gives black beyond the borders.
Tile: repeats a copy of the image.
Reflect: repeats a mirrored copy. Edges are often less visible with this method.

Amount Rel: X & Y,   Default: [1 1], Range: any, Shared .
The relative amounts of horizontal and vertical distortion. This has no effect unless Amount is positive.

Filter: Check-box,  Default: on, Shared .
If enabled, the image is adaptively filtered when it is resampled. This gives a better quality result when parts of the image are warped smaller.

Params3:

Mocha: Default: 0, Range: 0 or greater, Shared .
Brings up the Mocha window for tracking footage and generating masks.

Blur Mocha: Default: 0, Range: 0 or greater, Shared .
Blurs the Mocha Mask by this amount before using. This can be used to soften the edges or quantization artifacts of the mask, and smooth out the time displacements.

Mocha Opacity: Default: 1, Range: 0 to 1, Shared .
Controls the strength of the Mocha mask. Lower values reduce the intensity of the effect.

Invert Mocha: Check-box,  Default: off, Shared .
If enabled, the black and white of the Mocha Mask are inverted before applying the effect.

Show Mocha Only: Check-box,  Default: off, Shared .
Bypass the effect and show the Mocha Mask itself.

Bypass Mocha: Check-box,  Default: off, Shared .
Ignore the Mocha Mask and apply the effect to the entire source clip.
