S_PanAndZoomLoads a still image from a file and pans, zooms, or rotates it in three dimensions, while preserving the original resolution. To get started, click the Load File button and choose an image. Supported formats include JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and EXR. Then adjust the parameters such as Shift, Zoom, and Rotate to position the image, and set keyframes to create movement.In the Sapphire Distort category.

Load File:
Push-button

Loads an image file. This file will be read from its original location and cached in your project. If you move or modify the file, or move your project to a different machine, the cached image stays in the project until another image is loaded. Click the Get File Info button to display a dialog box with image file details and cached properties. Click the Reload File button to re-read the original image file in case it has been modified on disk.
-
Bypass Disk Cache:
Check-box, Default:

Vignette Parameters:
-
Vignette Link To Image:
Check-box, Default:
off.
Animates the vignette to follow the pan and zoom of the image. When enabled, this overrides the Vignette Center parameter.
-
Vignette Darkness:
Default:
0,
Range:
0 to 1.
Vignetting is darkening of the image towards the corners and sides of the image. This parameter controls how much the outer corners of the screen should be darkened (vignetted). 0 gives no vignetting, 1 gives maximum darkening.
-
Vignette Radius:
Default:
0.5,
Range:
0 or greater.
Distance from the center where the vignetting starts. This parameter can be adjusted using the Vignette Radius Widget.
-
Vignette Rel Width:
Default:

The relative horizontal size of the vignette shape. Increase for a wider shape, decrease for a taller one.
-
Vignette Rel Height:
Default:
1,
Range:
0.1 or greater.
The relative vertical size of the vignette shape. Increase for a taller shape, decrease for a wider one.
-
Vignette Angle:
Default:
0,
Range:
any.
Rotation in degrees of the vignette shape. Note that rotation will have no effect if Squareness is zero, and Rel Width and Rel Height are equal. This parameter can be adjusted using the Vignette Angle Widget.
-
Vignette Center:
X & Y, Default:
[0 0],
Range:
any.
Adjusts the center of the vignette shape.
-
Center Uses Mocha:
Check-box, Default:
off.
Controls whether the vignette center is controlled by the Vignette Center parameter or follows the Vignette Center tracked inside of Mocha.
-
Smooth Center Track:
Integer, Default:
0,
Range:
0 or greater.
Controls how many points to average when stabilizing the Mocha point track.
-
Vignette Edge Softness:
Default:
0.5,
Range:
0 or greater.
The width of the vignette's soft edge. Larger values give softer, less visible edges.
-
Vignette Color:
Default rgb:
[0 0 0].
The color of the vignette.
-
Vignette Combine:
Popup menu, Default: Composite
.
Determines how the vignette is combined with the Source.
-
Composite:
composites the vignette over the source clip.
- Mult: the vignette color is multiplied by the source clip. If the Color is not black, this will selectively colorize the vignette area.
- Add: the vignette color is added to the source clip. This will have no effect if the vignette color is black.
- Screen: the vignette color is combined with the source clip using a screen operation. This will have no effect if the vignette color is black.
- Subtract Inv: the inverse of the vignette color is subtracted from the source clip. Inverse means white for black, yellow for blue, and so on. This mode looks similar to Mult, but a bit more severe; it crushes the blacks and leaves the highlights more. This will have no effect if the vignette color is white.
- Vignette Only: shows the vignette pattern without the source clip. The output will be white where the amount of vignetting is greatest (e.g. where the source clip would be darkened completely).
- Vignette Only Inv: shows the inverted vignette pattern without the source clip. The output will be white where there is no vignetting (e.g. where the source clip would not be darkened at all).
- Mult: the vignette color is multiplied by the source clip. If the Color is not black, this will selectively colorize the vignette area.
-
Composite:
composites the vignette over the source clip.
-
Vignette Smooth Curve:
Default:
0.4,
Range:
0 to 1.
If zero, a linear gradient is used across the screen in the soft edge area. Increase this value to use a smoother 'S' shaped curve for interpolation which can reduce the visual perception of the gradient's start and end locations.
-
Vignette Source Brightness:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 or greater.
Scales the brightness of the source clip. To see only the vignette, set this to zero.
-
Vignette Squareness:
Default:
0,
Range:
0 to 1.
Determines how square the vignette shape is. Set to 1.0 for a square or rectangle shape. Set to 0 for a circle or ellipse. Values in between give rectangles with rounded corners by varying amounts.
-
Vignette Blur Amount:
Default:
0,
Range:
any.
Blurs the borders of the image in addition to darkening them.
-
Vignette Blur Inside:
Check-box, Default:
off.
If checked, the center (undarkened) area of the image is blurred instead of the border.
Drop Shadow Parameters:
-
Shadow Opacity:
Default:
0,
Range:
0 or greater.
The opacity of the drop shadow. Use values near 0 for subtle transparent shadows, or values near 1.0 for stronger shadows.
-
Shadow Shift:
X & Y, Default:
screen lower right.
The horizontal and vertical offset of the shadow.
-
Color:
Default rgb:
[0 0 0].
Scales the color of the result. For example, if it is yellow [1 1 0], the blue of the result will be 0.
-
Blur Shadow:
Default:
0.1,
Range:
0 or greater.
Determines the softness of the shadow.
