S_DissolvePuddleTransitions between two input clips while warping by a circular pattern of waves. 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.

-
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.
-
Center:
X & Y, Default:
screen center.
The location of the puddle center in screen coordinates relative to the center of the frame. Note that moving the puddle center can also cause the puddle size to change so that the current value of Wipe Amt remains correct.
-
Frequency:
Default:
5,
Range:
0.01 or greater.
The frequency of the puddle pattern. Increase for more and smaller elements, or decrease for fewer and larger.
-
Rel Height:
Default:
0.75,
Range:
0.01 or greater.
The relative height of the concentric wave pattern.
-
Amplitude:
Default:
0.2,
Range:
any.
Scales the amount of warping distortion.
-
Rel Amp2:
Default:
-1,
Range:
any.
The relative amplitude of the second input clip warping distortion. If this is positive instead of negative, the clip will be unwarped from the opposite direction.
-
Rotate Puddle:
Default:
0,
Range:
any.
Rotates the puddle pattern by this many counter-clockwise degrees after the Rel Height stretching has been applied. This has no effect when Rel Height is 1.
-
Phase Start:
Default:
0,
Range:
any.
The phase shift of the waves.
-
Phase Speed:
Default:
1,
Range:
any.
The speed of the waves. If this is positive the waves automatically travel outwards from the center at this rate.
-
Inner Radius:
Default:
0,
Range:
any.
The distance from the puddle center where the wave distortion is phased in. No waves are generated inside this radius.
-
Inner Softness:
Default:
0.1,
Range:
0.01 or greater.
The width of the region at the Inner Radius over which the wave distortion is phased in.
-
Outer Radius:
Default:
1.5,
Range:
any.
The distance from the puddle center where the wave distortion is phased out. No waves are generated outside this radius.
-
Outer Softness:
Default:
0.4,
Range:
0.01 or greater.
The width of the region at the Outer Radius over which the wave distortion is phased out.
-
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.
- Tile: repeats a copy of the image.
-
No:
gives black beyond the borders.
-
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.
