Size

The radius of the magnified area, in pixels.

Feather

The amount of edge feather, in pixels.

Opacity

The opacity of the magnified area, as a percentage of the opacity of the original clip.

Scaling

The type of scaling used to magnify the image:

Standard

This method maintains sharpness in the image but produces pixelated edges at higher values.

Soft

Uses spline algorithms. If you scale the image beyond 100%, Soft reduces edge pixelation and maintains

image quality. Soft works well at large magnification amounts.

Scatter

Creates scatter or noise in the image as the image enlarges.

Blending Mode

The blending mode used to combine the magnified area with the original clip. The None option

displays transparent pixels around the magnified area.

Resize Layer

If Resize Layer is selected, the magnified area can extend beyond the original clip’s boundaries.

Mirror effect

The Mirror effect splits the image along a line and reflects one side onto the other.

Reflection Center

The position of the line about which the reflection occurs.

Reflection Angle

The angle of the line about which the reflection occurs. An angle of 0° reflects the left side onto the

right. An angle of 90° reflects the top onto the bottom.

Note: You can directly manipulate the Mirror effect in the Program monitor. Click the Transform icon

and

then

drag the adjustment handle.

Offset effect

The Offset effect pans the image within a clip. Visual information pushed off one side of the image appears on the
opposite side.

Shift Center To

The new position of the original image’s center point.

Blend With Original

The effect’s transparency. The result of the effect is blended with the original image, with the

effect result composited on top. The higher you set this value, the less the effect affects the clip. For example, if you
set this value to 100%, the effect has no visible result on the clip; if you set this value to 0%, the original image doesn’t
show through.

Spherize effect

The Spherize effect distorts a layer by wrapping a region of the image onto a sphere.

Transform effect

The Transform effect applies two-dimensional geometric transformations to a clip. Apply the Transform effect
instead of using a clip’s Fixed effects if you want to render anchor point, position, scale, or opacity settings before
other Standard effects are rendered. Anchor Point, Position, Rotation, Scale, and Opacity properties function much
the same as the Fixed effects.

Skew

Skew amount.

Skew Axis

The axis about which skew occurs.
