distort tool would be added to the dependency graph and used (in Correct
mode) to rectify the distortion before compositing the new layer over it.
The composite will then be made (any compositing operation) and a second
instance of the correcting Lens Distort tool would be added after the
compositing operation has taken place using the same values but in Distort
mode applying the original distort to both layers.
Applying lens correction on multiple compositions before compositing
them together.
Reproduce the lens distortion of one composition on another composition.
Using the tracking data from one composition and applying it to the center
of another distorted composition, or composited layers, producing
interesting animated effects.
Analysis of Radial Distortion
Analysis of radial distortion computes the magnitude and adjustment
parameter from a three point spline created in the player to identify distortion.
The analysis is only available when the lens mode is set to Correct. All
parameters except the magnitude and adjustment are used to compute the
new magnitude and adjustment. The magnitude input will be set at the current
frame when the analysis is finished. Note that only one spline can be created
at the time. The spline is not animatable.
To analyze radial distortion with the spline tool:
1 Set the Mode to Correct.
2 Draw a three point spline along edge of any distorted features within the
image that should be straight. When three points are drawn, the select
tool will be activated.
