Mirror Effect; Offset Effect; Polar Coordinates Effect - Adobe PREMIERE PRO 2 Manual

•
Uses spline algorithms. If you scale the image beyond 100%, Soft reduces edge pixelation and maintains
Soft
image quality. Soft works well at large magnification amounts.
•
Creates scatter or noise in the image as the image enlarges.
Scatter
Specifies the blend mode that the effect uses to combine the magnified area with the original clip.
Blending Mode
The None option displays transparent pixels around the magnified area.
If Resize Layer is selected, the effect uses only the boundaries as the edge of the clip when the magnified
Resize Layer
area extends beyond the original clip's boundaries. If Resize Layer is deselected, any area of the image outside the
original clip's bounding box is cropped by the clip's boundaries.

Mirror effect

The Mirror effect splits the image along a line and reflects one side onto the other. The reflection angle determines
which side is reflected and where the reflection appears. You can make the line and reflection angle change over time.
The Mirror effect has the following settings:
Specifies the position of the line. Click the box and drag the resulting cross hair to the spot in the
Reflection Center
image where you want to place the line.
Specifies the angle of reflection, and therefore where the reflection appears on the clip. An angle of
Reflection Angle
0˚ reflects the left side on the right. An angle of 180˚ reflects the right side on the left. An angle of 90˚ reflects the
top on the bottom. An angle of 270˚ reflects the bottom on the top.
Note: You can directly manipulate the Mirror effect in the Program monitor. Click the Transform icon
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. At Best quality, the offset is performed with subpixel precision.
Specifies the new position of the original image's center point.
Shift Center To
Specifies the amount by which the offset image is blended with the original image.
Blend With Original
Offset effect: Original image (left) and with variations of the Offset effect applied (center and right)

Polar Coordinates effect

The Polar Coordinates effect distorts a clip by moving each pixel in the clip's x,y coordinate system to the corre-
sponding position in the polar coordinate system, or the reverse. This effect produces unusual and surprising distor-
tions that can vary greatly depending on the image and the controls you select. The standard coordinate system
specifies points by measuring the horizontal distance (x-axis) and the vertical distance (y-axis) from the origin. The
polar coordinate system specifies points by measuring the length of a radius from the origin and its angle from the
x-axis.
