WarpWavesMask In the S_WarpsMask Plugin. Warps the source clip by a wave pattern. You can make the waves move over time by increasing the Phase Speed parameter, or by animating the value of Phase Start. 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:

Frequency:   Default: 8,  Range: 0 or greater.
The frequency of the waves. Increase for more waves, decrease for fewer.

Amplitude:   Default: 0.1,  Range: any.
Scales the amount of warping distortion. Increase for more severe distortion.

Angle:   Default: 45,  Range: any.
The rotation angle of the wave pattern in counter-clockwise degrees. If angle is 0, the waves move to the right and are aligned vertically.

Displace Angle:   Default: 90,  Range: any.
The warping direction in degrees relative to the angle of the waves. 0 gives compression-expansion waves, and 90 gives side to side waves.

Phase Start:   Default: 0,  Range: any.
The phase shift of the waves. The wave pattern is translated in the direction of Angle by this amount.

Phase Speed:   Default: 0,  Range: any.
The phase speed of the waves. If this is non-zero the wave pattern automatically travels at this rate.

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.

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.
