Mirror
Method #
This node mirrors one side of the image onto the other side.
Parameters
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
Parameter Details Active
Enables or disables the effect. Disabling the effect means it will no longer compute, so disabling a node when not in use can improve performance.
Blend Amount
Changes the opacity of the new effect over the original image.
Blend Mode (RGB)
Change how the generated effect blends with the parent image RGB.
Blend Mode (Alpha)
Change how the generated effect blends with the parent image alpha.
Affected Channels
Toggle which of the RGBA channels are affected by the effect.
Rotation
Edit the rotation of the effect.
Position X
Change the x position of the mirror line.
Position Y
Change the y position of the mirror line.
Num Mirrors
Change the number of mirrors in the image.
Kaleidoscope Speed
How fast the kaleidoscope is animated.
Kaleidoscope Offset
Offset the positioning of the kaleidoscope.
Mode
Choose which kind of mirroring to be used on the image.
- Mirror : The left side of the image is reflected to the right side.
- Simple Kaleidoscope : The bottom right image is reflected into the other 3 corners.
- Full Kaleidoscope : A more fluid and complex kaleidoscopic image is generated.
Update Time Mode
How the effect updates with relation to the time code.
- Locked To Timecode : The effect is locked to the time code and the same time on the time code will always yield the same image output.
- Running / Looping : The effect is disconnected from the time code and will loop seamlessly at the end of the layer. this also means that animated speed values will change smoothly.
The properties control the time at which the node is active. See Timeline for editing time segments.
Parameter Details Duration
Control the duration of the node’s time segment.
- Composition Duration : Use the length of the composition for the node’s time segment duration.
- Custom : Set a custom duration for the node’s time segment.
Node Time
The custom start and end time for the node.
Duration (Timecode)
The length of the node’s time segment (in time).
Duration (Frames)
The length of the node’s time segment (in frames).
Time Segment Enabled
Set whether the node’s time segment is enabled or not in the Timeline.
