WarpPuffMask In the S_WarpsMask 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: 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: 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.

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.
