WarpWaves2Mask In the S_WarpsMask Plugin. Warps the source clip using two sets of overlapping wave patterns. You can make the waves move over time by increasing the Phase Speed parameters, or by animating the value of the Phase Start parameters. 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.

A Parameters:

A Frequency:   Default: 6,  Range: 0 or greater.
The frequency of the first set of waves. Increase for more waves, decrease for fewer.

A Amplitude:   Default: 0.06,  Range: any.
The amplitude of the first set of waves.

A Angle:   Default: 45,  Range: any.
The rotation angle of the first set of waves in degrees.

A Displace Angle:   Default: 0,  Range: any.
The warping direction of the first set of waves in degrees relative to their angle.

A Phase Start:   Default: 0,  Range: any.
The phase shift of the first set of waves.

A Phase Speed:   Default: 1,  Range: any.
If non-zero, the first set of wave automatically travels at this rate.

B Parameters:

B Frequency:   Default: 3,  Range: 0 or greater.
The frequency of the second set of waves. Increase for more waves, decrease for fewer.

B Amplitude:   Default: 0.12,  Range: any.
The amplitude of the second set of waves.

B Angle:   Default: 15,  Range: any.
The rotation angle of the second set of waves in degrees.

B Displace Angle:   Default: 0,  Range: any.
The warping direction of the second set of waves in degrees relative to their angle.

B Phase Start:   Default: 0,  Range: any.
The phase shift of the second set of waves.

B Phase Speed:   Default: -1,  Range: any.
If non-zero, the second set of wave automatically travels at this rate.

Other Parameters:

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.

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.

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.
