DiffuseMask Same as Diffuse but with a Mask input. Scrambles the pixels of the source input within an area determined by the Diffuse Amount. Inputs: Source:  The clip to be processed. Mask:  Determines which areas of the image receive diffusing pixels. Gray values internally scale the Diffuse Amount parameter rather than simply cross-fading between the effect and the original source. This can allow more continuous results at the mask edges and more detailed control over the diffusion amounts. The mask can be blurred using the Blur Mask parameter. Only the red channel of this input is used.

Parameters:

Diffuse Amount:   Default: 0.1,  Range: 0 or greater.
The amplitude of the pixel diffusion process. This parameter can be adjusted using the Amount Widget.

Rel Amount:   X & Y,   Default: [1 1],  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the relative horizontal and vertical amounts of diffusion. This parameter can be adjusted using the Amount Widget.

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.

Blur Mask:   Default: 0,  Range: 0 or greater.
Blurs the Mask input by this amount before using. This can be used to soften the edges of the mask and provide a smoother transition between the masked and unmasked areas.

Invert Mask:   Check-box,  Default: off.
If enabled, inverts the mask input so the effect is applied to areas where the Mask is black instead of white.
