Sapphire Plug-ins for AVX2: DissolveDistort

S_DissolveDistort Transitions between two input clips while distorting each using the gradient of the other. The first clip is warped away and faded out while the second clip is unwarped into place and faded in. The Dissolve Amount parameter should be animated to control the transition speed. In the Sapphire Transitions category. Inputs: From: Starts the transition with this clip. To: Ends the transition with this clip.

Parameters:

Load Preset: Push-button .
Brings up the Preset Browser to browse all available presets for this effect.

Save Preset: Push-button .
Brings up the Preset Save dialog to save a preset for this effect.

Dissolve Amount: Default: 0, Range: 0 to 1.
The transition ratio between the From and To inputs. Auto Trans must be disabled for this parameter to be used. This would normally be animated from 0 to 1 to perform a complete transition, and the curve can be adjusted for more detailed control over the timing of the dissolve. The Slow In and Slow Out parameters, if positive, also adjust the transition ratio internally for a smoother start and/or end to the transition.

Amplitude: Default: 1, Range: any.
Scales the amount of distortion applied to both input clips. This can also be negative to turn expansions into contractions and vice versa.

Rel Amp From: Default: 1, Range: any.
Scales the relative distortion amplitude of the From clip.

Rel Amp To: Default: -1, Range: any.
Scales the relative distortion amplitude of the To clip.

Smoothness: Default: 0.25, Range: 0 or greater.
Smooths the distortions by this amount. Increase for large scale distortion, decrease for finer detailed distortion.

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

Wrap: X & Y,  Popup menu,  Default: [ Reflect Reflect ].
Determines the method for accessing outside the borders of the source images.

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.

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.
