Wave


    This effect distorts a clip to make it wave-shaped.

    Wave effect dialog box

    Number of Generators

    Specifies the number of waves, which can range from 1 to 999.

    Wavelength

    Specifies the distance from one wave crest to the next, using values from 1 to 999.

    Amplitude

    Specifies the height of the wave, using values from 1 to 999.

    Randomize

    Randomly selects a value between the minimum and maximum wavelength and amplitude values; otherwise, the waves are of a uniform amplitude and frequency.

    Scale

    Controls the magnitude of the distortion, both horizontally and vertically. A setting of 0 provides an undistorted image.

    Type

    Specifies Sine (rolling), Triangle (pointed crests), or Square (square crests).

    Undefined Areas

    Specifies how to treat blank portions of the frame where the clip was pulled away from the edges. The Wrap Around option wraps the image from the opposite side of the frame to fill the space; the Repeat Edge Pixels option extends the colors of the pixels along the edge of the clip.
