WarpFishEyeComp In the S_WarpsComp Plugin. Expands the center of the source clip as if viewed through a fish-eye lens. Adjust the Amount parameter to give more or less distortion. Turn off the Wrap options to give transparency beyond the borders of the input clip instead of reflected copies. Inputs: Front:  The clip to use as foreground. Back:  The clip to use as background. Matte:  Specifies the opacities of the Front clip.

Parameters:

Amount:   Default: 1,  Range: any.
The amplitude of the fish-eye warping. Try this negative with a large Z Dist for some wacky 'bug eye' distortions.

Z Dist:   Default: 1,  Range: 0.01 or greater.
Scales the 'distance' of the image. Values greater than 1.0 move it farther away and make it smaller. Values less then 1.0 move the image closer and enlarge it. Zooming in slightly can sometimes be used to hide edge artifacts.

Rotate:   Default: 0,  Range: any.
Rotates the result about the center location by this many counter-clockwise degrees.

Center:   X & Y,   Default: [0 0],  Range: any.
The center of the fish-eye warping function, in screen coordinates relative to the center of the frame. This parameter can be adjusted using the Center Widget.

Shift:   X & Y,   Default: [0 0],  Range: any.
Translates the source image before the fish-eye warping is applied.

Filter:   Check-box,  Default: on.
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.

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.

Comp Premult:   Check-box,  Default: off,  Shared.
Enable this for a better composite if the Foreground pixel values have been pre-multiplied by the Matte pixel values. This is also known as an 'additive' composite.
