Effect Controls
Time: [ Default 0.00 ] [ User Input # ]
Keying this value across time animates the deformation.
Smooth: [ Default OFF ] { SWITCH ]
Smooths the deformations.
Strength: [ Default 50] [ Range 0 - 500 ]
This value determines the sharpness of the blur. Works in combination with the jitter—the lower the jitter, the sharper the blur.
Frequency: [ Default 50] [ Range 0 - 500 ]
Applies additional deformations or "knots"
Seed: [ Default 0] [ User Input # ]
Randomizes the starting value of the deformation
