reception. The slider controls set the amount and
characteristics of the noise:
• Amount: Set the strength of the effect.
• Variation: Slightly vary the random noise pattern by
setting a different “seed” value for the randomizer.
• Transparency: Combine the original and the
modified images in any desired proportion. Moving
this slider rightwards moderates the overall effect.
Clear the Color noise checkbox if you don’t want to
disturb the original coloration of the image.
Water drop
This effect simulates the impact of a drop falling onto
the surface of water, producing expanding, concentric
ripples.
Stages in the Water Drop effect (“Big drop” preset).
Two sliders, Horizontal and Vertical, set the drop
position, and so the origin point of the waves.
The next three parameters let you set the number of
ripples (1-8, or Infinite), plus the Wave width and Wave
height. The “infinite” choice for the Wave count
dropdown means that rippling will continue for the full
duration of the clip, whereas with the numeric choices
the effect ends when the last ripple has expanded
beyond the edges of the video frame.
