Vertical and Horizontal Prism FX
Create a result similar to vertical and horizontal decentering, except that at
extreme values the image doesn’t wrap in on itself.
Fill Color
Specifies the background color.
Fill Alpha Channel
Makes the background transparent so that underlying tracks are visible. In the Effect Controls
panel, click Setup to access this option.
Magnify effect
The Magnify effect enlarges a selected area of a clip. This effect can act like a magnifying glass placed over an area of
the image, or you can use it to scale the entire image far beyond 100% while maintaining resolution.
Magnify effect: Original image (left) and with variations of Magnify effect applied (center and right)
Adjust the following controls for the Magnify effect:
Shape
Specifies the shape of the magnified area.
Center
Specifies the center point of the magnified area.
Magnification
Specifies the percentage of magnification (or scale) of the area you select. The values represent the
percentage of the scale.
Link
Specifies how the effect links the Size, Magnification, and Feather amounts so that they increase or decrease
proportionally. Setting the Link control to any setting except None disables the Resize Layer option.
•
None
Specifies that the Size, Magnification, and Feather controls operate separately.
•
Size To Magnification
Specifies that the size of the magnified area increases or decreases proportionally in relation
to the magnification adjustment.
•
Size & Feather To Magnification
Specifies that the size and edge feather of the magnified area increase or decrease
proportionally in relation to the magnification adjustment.
Size
Specifies the size of the magnified area, in pixels. (Setting the size larger than your original source layer may
expand the magnified area outside the composition frame, depending upon the location of your center point.
However, the effect still retains the image resolution.)
Feather
Specifies the amount of feather, in pixels, that the effect applies to the edge of the magnified area. Higher
values soften the edge of the magnified area, and blends the edge with the layer behind it. Lower values sharpen the
edge of the magnified area.
Opacity
Specifies the transparency of the magnified area. The Opacity value for the effect layer in the Timeline
window represents the 100% setting of this control.
Scaling
Specifies the type of scaling the effect uses to magnify an image:
•
Standard
Uses standard scaling. This method maintains sharpness in the image but produces pixelated edges at
higher values.
