Sapphire Plug-ins for AVX2: TimeDisplace

S_TimeDisplace Displaces the Source clip by variable amounts in time depending on the brightness values of a Mask input. In the Sapphire Time category. Inputs: Source: The current track. The clip to be processed. Background: Optional. The clip to use as background. The output of the effect is composited over this clip. Mask: Selectable. Determines the amount of time displacement. Where the Mask is white the Source is time-shifted by a number of frames given by White Time Shift, and where it is black the Source is shifted by Black Time Shift. Gray areas are time-shifted by the appropriately interpolated amount. This input can be optionally blurred using the Blur Mask parameter. If this input is not provided, the Source input is used for the displacement matte instead.

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.

Mocha: Default: 0, Range: 0 or greater.
Brings up the Mocha window for tracking footage and generating masks.

Blur Mocha: Default: 0, Range: any.
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: screen center.
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.

Black Time Shift: Default: -10, Range: any.
Time shift by this many frames where the Matte is black.

White Time Shift: Default: 10, Range: any.
Time shift by this many frames where the Matte is white.

Shift Relative To: Popup menu,  Default: Current Frame .
Selects relative or absolute time-shifting.

Frame 0: Time shift to an absolute frame number, relative to thefirst frame.

Current Frame: Time shift relative to the current frame.

Interp Frames: Check-box,  Default: off.
Selects the method to use for non-integer frame number references. If disabled, the nearest integer frame number is used with no interpolation, which usually gives visible edges between the time slices. If enabled, a weighted interpolation is performed between the two nearest integer frame numbers, which smooths the results between the time slices.

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, or if there is no valid Alpha channel the Red channel is used.

Blur Mask: Default: 0.1, Range: any.
Blurs the Mask input 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.
