Checkerboard Effect - Adobe PREMIERE PRO 2 Manual

affects only the state of the cell pattern, not geometrics or other controls. For example, two identical states of the cell
pattern don't appear the same if viewed with different Size or Offset settings.)
•
Specifies a unique random value from which to generate the pattern. Animating this control
Random Seed
results in flashing from one set of cell shapes to another of the same cell pattern type. For smooth transition of the
cell pattern, use the Evolution control.
Note: Create new cell pattern animations by reusing previously created Evolution cycles and changing only the Random
Seed value. Typing a new Random Seed value alters the cell pattern without disturbing the evolution animation.

Checkerboard effect

The Checkerboard effect creates a checkerboard pattern.
A matching color produces a subtle Checkerboard effect (center); using red with high Width and low Height settings (right) creates a striped
effect.

Corner Point
mines the checkerboard size.
•
Specifies that the Width value determines the checkerboard pattern size and shape. The individual

•
Specifies that the Width and Height values determine the checkerboard pattern size and
Width & Height Sliders
shape. Choose this option to set the width and height of the checkered shapes independently.
Specifies the spatial relationship between the corner point and the anchor point. The effect uses the position
Corner
of these two points to define the size of the checkerboard pattern if you choose Corner Point in the Size From menu.
Specifies the horizontal width of the checkerboard pattern. If you choose Width Slider in the Size From menu,
Width
this value determines both the width and height of the checkerboard pattern. If you choose Width & Height Sliders
in the Size From menu, this value determines the width only.
Determines the vertical height of the checkerboard squares when you choose Width & Height Sliders in the
Height
Size From menu.
Specifies the size of the edge feather of the checkerboard pattern. Expand this control to reveal the
Feather
Width and Height sliders. Set Width and Height values independently, or set them both to the same value for
