To produce an affine transformation on an image:
1 Add a Transform 2D tool at the desired point in the dependency graph
(if one is not already there). One transform is automatically added. You
can add additional transforms using the New button.
2 Use the controls that appear in the UI to the right of the super tool
controls or the direct manipulators that appear in the Player. The direct
manipulation controls are the same as those found in the Warps—see
2D Transforms on page 478.
3 To shear an image, press the Insert key while the focus is in the player
(this toggles the transform manipulator and the pivot manipulator), then
using the rotate widget, set your pivot angle.
4 Press the Insert key again and use the scale widgets to shear the image.
NOTE Each transform influences transforms which follow it. The more it influences,
the more 'global' it is, or conversely, the fewer it influences, the more 'local' it is.
The pivot is independent within each transform.
Adding Motion Blur and Filters
Controls on the 2D Transform tool Output tab lets you add motion blur,
filtering, and cropping to your image.
The Output tab has the following parameters:
To: Use:
Add motion blur to the result image. Motion blur can be on or
off; when on, there are controls for shutter speed and offset; the Motion Blur
time interval over which the shutter is open is centered at the
current frame time by default; the offset can be used to move it
elsewhere.
Filter the output image—see Cropping and Filtering the Output
on page 482.
