— Control Visibility: This pop-up menu lets you choose whether the warp and limiter points you create are visible as you work. Show (the default) leaves all control points visible all the time. Auto Hide hides all control points whenever you’re dragging one, letting you see the image as you adjust it without having control points in the way. Hide makes all control points invisible. You can add new control points, but you can’t see existing control points to edit them.
— Show: This pop-up menu lets you choose how to represent warp points, and there are two options.
— Warp Points (the default) simply shows warp points as gray dots.
— Warp Vectors display pairs of controls connected by a line; a round dot shows the anchor, or the part of the image the warped portion of the image came from, and an arrow shows the destination, where you’ve warped that part of the image to. Seeing the anchor and destination of each warp operation can sometimes be useful when you’re doing something complex.
— Scale Controls: Lets you adjust the size of the on screen controls for ease of use.
Warp points Warp vectors
— Scale Controls: This slider lets you shrink or grow the control points or warp vector handles to the most convenient size for the task at hand.
— Warp Point Positions: A parameter without any controls, save for key framing controls, that lets you keyframe the position of warp and limiter points. All points are keyframes within a single parameter and keyframe track, visible in the timeline of the Edit page, or the Keyframe Editor of the Fusion and Color pages.
Waviness
— Waviness Type: Lets you choose Vertical or Horizontal waviness.
— Scale: Lets you choose the size of the waves.
— Strength: Lets you adjust the amplitude.
— Phase: Lets you “move” the wave and is a good parameter to keyframe if you’re animating this effect manually.
— Animate: A checkbox that reveals a Speed slider that lets you set how quickly the Waviness effect auto-animates without the need to use keyframes.
