Compositing With the MultiPlane Node

deviceAspectRatio
By default, this parameter uses an expression that computes the aspect ratio based on
the filmBack parameter.

xFilter, yFilter
Lets you pick which method Shake uses to transform the image in each dimension. For
more information, see “Applying Separate Filters to X and Y Dimensions” on page 863
of the Shake 4 User Manual.

motionBlur
A Motion Blur quality level of 0. 0 produces no blur, whereas 1 represents standard
filtering. For more speed, use a value less than 1. This value is multiplied by the global
parameter motionBlur.

shutterTiming

A subparameter of motionBlur. Zero (0) is no blur, whereas 1 represents a whole
frame of blur. Note that standard camera blur is 180 degrees, or a value of .5. This
value is multiplied by the global parameter shutterTiming.

shutterOffset

A subparameter of motionBlur. This is the offset from the current frame at which the
blur is calculated. Default is 0; previous frames are less than 0.

.ma Load/Camera Copy, Delete, Link Buttons

Four buttons at the bottom of the Camera tab let you control how .ma camera data is
used within a MultiPlane node.

Load
This button lets you load .ma data from a file. This creates a new camera in the
currently open MultiPlane node.

Copy/Delete
These buttons let you duplicate or delete the currently selected renderCamera.

Link
The link button at the right lets you link the camera in the currently open MultiPlane
node to an animated camera within another.

Delete Cloud
Deletes a point cloud, but leaves the camera angle intact. This is useful if you plan on
redoing the track and you want to clear the old point cloud in preparation for
importing a new one.
