Push-button

-
Mocha Project:
Default:
0,
Range:
0 or greater.
Brings up the Mocha window for tracking footage and generating masks.
-
Blur Mocha:
Default:
0,
Range:
0 or greater.
Blurs the Mocha Mask by this amount before using. This can be used to soften the edges or quantization artifacts of the mask, and smooth out the time displacements.
-
Mocha Opacity:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 to 1.
Controls the strength of the Mocha mask. Lower values reduce the intensity of the effect.
-
Invert Mocha:
Check-box, Default:
off.
If enabled, the black and white of the Mocha Mask are inverted before applying the effect.
-
Resize Mocha:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 to 2.
Scales the Mocha Mask. 1.0 is the original size.
-
Resize Rel X:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 to 2.
The relative horizontal size of the Mocha Mask.
-
Resize Rel Y:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 to 2.
The relative vertical size of the Mocha Mask.
-
Shift Mocha:
X & Y, Default:
[0 0],
Range:
any.
Offsets the position of the Mocha Mask.
-
Bypass Mocha:
Check-box, Default:
off.
Ignore the Mocha Mask and apply the effect to the entire source clip.
-
Show Mocha Only:
Check-box, Default:
off.
Bypass the effect and show the Mocha Mask itself.
-
Combine Masks:
Popup menu, Default: Union
.
Determines how to combine the Mocha Mask and Input Mask when both are supplied to the effect.
-
Union:
Uses the area covered by both masks together.
- Intersect: Uses the area that overlaps between the two masks.
- Mocha Only: Ignore the Input Mask and only use the Mocha Mask.
- Intersect: Uses the area that overlaps between the two masks.
-
Union:
Uses the area covered by both masks together.
-
Frequency:
Default:
8,
Range:
0.01 or greater.
The spatial frequency of the texture. Increase to zoom out, decrease to zoom in.
-
Radius:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 to 2.
The radius of the spots. Adjust this to change the size of the spots without changing the number of spots.
-
Seed:
Default:
0.23,
Range:
0 or greater.
Used to initialize the random number generator. The actual seed value is not significant, but different seeds give different results and the same value should give a repeatable result.
-
Rand Warp Amp:
Default:
0.2,
Range:
0 or greater.
The amplitude of a bubble warping distortion applied to the spots.
-
Rand Warp Freq:
Default:
1,
Range:
0.01 or greater.
The spatial frequency of the noise used for the warping distortion. This has no effect unless Rand Warp Amp is positive.
-
Shift:
X & Y, Default:
[0 0],
Range:
any.
Translation offset of the texture. Since the texture is procedurally generated it can be shifted with no repeating units or seams occurring.
-
Warp Start:
X & Y, Default:
[0 0],
Range:
any.
The translation offset warping pattern. This has no effect unless Rand Warp Amp is positive.
-
Warp Speed:
X & Y, Default:
[0.5 0],
Range:
any.
The translation speed of the warping pattern. If non-zero the spots are animated to wiggle at this rate. This has no effect unless Rand Warp Amp is positive.
-
Brightness1:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 or greater.
Scales the brightness of Color1. Increase for more contrast.
-
Color1:
Default rgb:
[1 1 1].
The color of the 'brighter' parts of the texture. The colors of the result are determined by an interpolation between Color0 and Color1.
-
Color0:
Default rgb:
[0 0 0].
The color of the 'darker' parts of the texture.
-
Offset0:
Default:
0,
Range:
any.
Adds this value to color0. Decrease to a negative value for more contrast.
-
Invert:
Check-box, Default:
off.
If enabled, the resulting texture colors are inverted. This is similar to swapping Color0 and Color1.
-
Bg Brightness:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 or greater.
The background brightness is scaled by this value before being combined with the texture.
-
Combine:
Popup menu, Default: Texture Only
.
Determines how the texture is combined with the Background.
-
Texture Only:
gives only the texture image with no Background.
- Mult: the texture is multiplied by the Background.
- Add: the texture is added to the Background.
- Screen: the texture is blended with the Background using a screen operation.
- Difference: the result is the difference between the texture and Background.
- Overlay: the texture is combined with the Background using an overlay function.
- Mult: the texture is multiplied by the Background.
-
Texture Only:
gives only the texture image with no Background.
-
Input Opacity:
Popup menu, Default: Normal
.
Determines the method used for dealing with opacity/transparency.
-
All Opaque:
Use this option to render slightly faster when
the input image is fully opaque with no transparency (alpha=1).
- Normal: Process opacity normally.
- As Premult: Process as if the image is already in premultiplied form (colors have been scaled by opacity). This option also renders slightly faster than Normal mode, but the results will also be in premultiplied form, which is sometimes less correct.
- Normal: Process opacity normally.
-
All Opaque:
Use this option to render slightly faster when
the input image is fully opaque with no transparency (alpha=1).
-
Output Opacity:
Popup menu, Default: Copy From Input
.
Determines the opacity/transparency of the result. This effect does not process the opacity (alpha channel) of its input but it can either copy the opacity from the input, or output a fully opaque result.
-
All Opaque:
Makes the result fully opaque with no
transparency.
- Copy From Input: Copies the opacity/transparency from the current layer given to this effect.
- Copy From Input: Copies the opacity/transparency from the current layer given to this effect.
-
All Opaque:
Makes the result fully opaque with no
transparency.
-
Mask Use:
Popup menu, Default: Luma
.
Determines how the Mask input channels are used to make a monochrome mask.
-
Luma:
the luminance of the RGB channels is used.
- Alpha: only the Alpha channel is used.
- Alpha: only the Alpha channel is used.
-
Luma:
the luminance of the RGB channels is used.
-
Blur Mask:
Default:
0.05,
Range:
0 or greater.
Blurs the Matte input by this amount before using. This can provide a smoother transition between the matted and unmatted areas. It has no effect unless the Matte input is provided.
-
Invert Mask:
Check-box, Default:
off.
If on, inverts the Matte input so the effect is applied to areas where the Matte is black instead of white. This has no effect unless the Matte input is provided.
