INPUT CLIP
Input: clip to magnify.
LENS
YX Center (Default: center)
Position of the center of the lens.
On Ctrl2 you will find a control for the Lens Height position, this is the height of the lens relative to the light source Z position above the picture plane,
Clear Radius (Min: 0.5 Max: 500.0 Default: 50.0)
Radius of the central region of the lens (in which the magnification takes place).
Edge Width (Min: 0.5 Max: 500.0 Default: 3.0)
Width of the edge region (outside the Clear Radius) in which the magnified part
of the image makes some kind of transition back to the unmagnified part of the
image.
Magnification (Min: 0.05 Max: 100.0 Default: 2.0)
Basic magnification of the lens in the Lens clear radius.
Distortion (Min: 0.1 Max: 10.0 Default: 1.20)
How much distortion of the image occurs in the Clear Radius. At 1.0, there is no
distortion. Values greater than one make the image bow out. Less than one, pinches it in
towards the center.
Rotate (Default: 0.0)
The lens can be rotated around the z axis.
Height (Min 0.0 Max 500.0 Default 10.0)
The height of the lens relative to the light source Z position above the
picture plane and will cause shadows to be cast on the picture when
UseFX is on.
Eccentricity (Min: 0.0 Max: 1.000 Default: 0.100)
N Sides (Min: 1 Max: 20 Default: 3)
FOCUS
ChromaticAberration (Min: 0.0 Max: 100.0 Default: 0.0)
Background Blur (Min: 0.1 Max: 100.0 Default: 1.0)
Lens Blur (Min: 0.1 Max: 100.0 Default: 1.0)
EDGE
Sharpness (Min: 0.5 Max: 20.0 Default: 20.0)
LIGHT
Intensity (Min: 0.0 Max: 200.0 Default: 0.0)
Tightness (Min: 1.0 Max: 1000.0 Default: 20.0)
Red Green Blue (Default: white)
HOTSPOTS and SHADOWS
EFFECTS
BurnBrightness (Min: 0.0 Max: 200.0 Default: 50.0)
Shadow Darkness (Min: 0.0 Max: 200.0 Default: 50.0)
Shadow Softness (Min: 0.10 Max: 100.0 Default: 1.0)
Choice of shape for the lens.
Circle=0
Ellipse=1
N-Shape=2 a shape with the desired number of sides.
Ellipse and N-Shape are used with Eccentricity to define radii.
Varying this changes the shape of the Ellipse or the sharpness of N-Shape.
Defines how many sides N-Shape has.
Sets how much chromatic aberration (color fringes around borders between light
and dark image areas, especially near the lens edges) should occur.
Controls how much the image being magnified should be blurred outside the lens area. This
can be used to give the impression of the lens bringing an otherwise out of focus image,
in to focus.
Controls how much the image is blurred inside the lens.
Shading (Min: 0.0 Max: 100.0 Default: 50.0)
Controls how much (and if) the image inside the lens gets darker towards the
lens edges. With other controls, and Use surface effects ON, this can be used
to give a 3D effect to the lens.
Controls how quickly the image darkens towards the edge of the lens.
XYZ Position (Default: top right)
Position of the light source position. The height of the light relative to the lens Z
position above the picture plane, will cast a shadow on the picture when
UseFX is on.
Brightness of a light source that can cause a highlight on the surface of the lens.
At 0.0 the light is off.
Tightness of the light highlight on the lens surface.
The colour of the light.
UseFX (Default: Off)
Off=0: the following controls will have no effect.
On=1: the following controls take effect to create shadows and hot spots on the image
surface.
Creates a hotspot in the lens.
How dark the darkest areas of the shadow will be depending on the value of
Edge shading which needs to be greater than 0.0. Edge sharpness will affect
the shadow coverage.
Softens the shadow.
