S_DissolveSpeckle Transition between two input clips using a speckled noise pattern. The Dissolve Amount parameter should be animated to control the transition speed. In the Sapphire Transitions effects submenu. Inputs: From:  Starts the transition with this clip. To:  Ends the transition with this clip.

Parameters:

Dissolve Amount:   Default: 0,  Range: -0.5 to 1.5.
The transition ratio between the From and To inputs. A value of 0 gives only the From input and a value of 1 gives only the To input. By default this parameter automatically animates from 0 to 1 to perform a complete transition.

Frequency:   Default: 40,  Range: 0.01 or greater.
The frequency of the speckle pattern. Increase for smaller speckles, decrease for larger.

Frequency Rel Y:   Default: 1,  Range: 0.01 or greater.
The relative vertical frequency of the speckles pattern. Increase for wider speckles, decrease for taller speckles.

Octaves:   Integer,  Default: 1,  Range: 1 to 10.
The number of summed layers of noise. Each octave is twice the frequency and half the amplitude of the previous. A single octave gives a smooth texture. Adding octaves makes the result approach a fractal (1/f) noise texture.

Seed:   Default: 0.23,  Range: 0 or greater.
Used to initialize the random number generator. The actual seed value is not significant, but different seeds give different results and the same value should give a repeatable result.
