Grid Warp [GRD]
The Grid Warp node
Grid Warp Node Introduction
The Grid Warp node is a 2D deformation grid with flexible vertices. The image is deformed so
that the source grid matches the destination grid.
Inputs
The two inputs on the Grid Warp node are used to connect a 2D image and an effect mask,
which can be used to limit the warped area.
–
Input: The orange input is used for the primary 2D image that is warped.
–
Effect Mask: The blue input is for a mask shape created by polylines, basic primitive
shapes, paint strokes, or bitmaps from other tools. Connecting a mask to this input
limits the warping to only those pixels within the mask. An effects mask is applied to
the tool after the tool is processed.
Basic Node Setup
Below, two Grid Warp nodes are used to warp different areas of a frame. This can be useful for
chaining the framing in a shot or adding slight movement to a still. Using the Copy Src to Dest
button, only the area modified by Grid Warp 2 is pasted as the foreground in the Merge.
The Grid Warp can be used to shift areas within a shot for
reframing or adding animation to a still
