WarpFishEyeMask In the S_WarpsMask 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: Source:  The input clip to be warped. Mask:  The amplitude of warping is scaled by the values of this input clip. Gray values internally scale the warping amplitude rather than simply cross-fading between the effect and the original source to allow more continuous results at the Mask edges and more detailed control over the warping amounts. Only the red channel of this input is used. This input can optionally be blurred or inverted using the Blur Mask or Invert Mask parameters.

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.

Blur Mask:   Default: 0,  Range: 0 or greater,  Shared.
Blurs the Mask input by this amount before using. This can provide a smoother transition between the masked and unmasked areas.

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