Effect Controls

  1. Time: [ Default 0.00 ] [ User Input # ]

    • Keying this value across time animates the deformation.

  2. Smooth: [ Default OFF ] { SWITCH ]

    • Smooths the deformations.

  3. 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.

    • Applies additional deformations or "knots"

  5. Seed: [ Default 0] [ User Input # ]
