WarpPuffComp In the S_WarpsComp Plugin. Warps the source clip based on its gradient. Brighter areas are puffed out and darker areas are shrunk. This is similar to Lensing an image using itself as the lens. 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: 0.5,  Range: any.
Scales the amount of distortion. This can also be negative to turn puffs into shrivels and vice versa.

Smoothness:   Default: 0.5,  Range: 0 or greater.
Blurs the source clip by this amount before determining the warp directions and amounts.

Rotate Warp Dir:   Default: 0,  Range: any.
Rotates the direction of the warping. This can cause areas of similar brightness to be twisted instead of just expanded or shrunk.

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.
