Accessing the Warper

You must select the required clips to access the Warper. You can enter the Warper with one to five clips. The number of clips that you load depends on the effect that you want to produce.

To access the Warper:

  1. Select Tools > Filter > Warper.

    The cursor changes to Pick Front.

  2. Select the types of clips you want to load into the Warper from the Input Mode box.
    Select: To load: To produce:
    Front1 Front clip only A warp of a single image.
    Front1/Front2 Front and back clips A morph, a wipe, or a regional warp.
    Front1/Matte1 Front and matte clips A warp of a single image using a matte.
    Front1/Front2/Matte1 Front, back, and matte clips A warp over a background using a matte.
    F1/F2/M1/M2/Back Front, matte, back, back matte, and background clips A morph using two clips and their mattes on a background clip instead of on black.
  3. Select the front clip.

    The cursor changes to Render Here.

  4. Click on any free (or a grey) area on the workspace.

    You are now in the Warper Tool.

    Note: Regardless of which clips you load into the Warper, there are always two compositing layers available: a front layer and a back layer. If you do not load a back clip, black is used for the back layer.

To reset the Warper:

  1. Click Reset All, and click Confirm when prompted.

    Warper options are restored to their default settings.
