Mirrors
An effect that lets you reflect part of the image in any direction you like. At its simplest, this can
create a split mirror effect like that found at the end of Prince’s “When Doves Cry.” At its most
complicated, multiple reflections can be set up, to create whirling Kaleidoscope patterns in
the image.
Main Controls
These controls let you choose what kind of effect this plug-in has.
 Mirror Placement: Lets you choose different types of mirror effects including Individual
(a simple reflection), Rosette, and Kaleidoscope.
 Reflect at Borders: Lets you add another reflection of the image whenever the angle
and position of your reflection would result in offscreen black coming into the frame.
Individual Controls
When Mirror Placement is set to Individual, a series of six sets of Mirror parameters lets you add
multiple mirrored edges in different combinations; by default only one is on, but you can turn
more edges on to create more complicated mirror effects. Each group of Mirror parameters has
the following parameters:
 Enable Mirror: Turns that mirror reflection on.
 X and Y Position: Positions the center of the mirror split reflection.
 Angle: Lets you adjust the angle of the seam along which a reflection will run.
 Flip: Flips which side of the image is reflected.
Rosette Controls
When Mirror Placement is set to Rosette, a single set of parameters creates a variety of
circular patterns.
 X and Y Position: Positions the center of the circular rosette reflection.
 Angle: Lets you adjust the orientation of the rosette pattern about its center.
 Wedge Width: Lets you adjust the thickness of the wedges around the outside of the
rosette pattern, and by extension how many wedges there will be. Thicker wedges
results in fewer reflections around the rosette pattern and thinner wedges result in
more reflections around the rosette pattern.
Kaleidoscope Controls
When Mirror Placement is set to Kaleidoscope, a single set of parameters lets you create a
variety of kaleidoscopic images:
 X and Y Position: Positions the center of the mirror split reflection.
 Center Size: Lets you shrink or expand the cells comprising the kaleidoscopic image.
 Angle: Lets you adjust the angle of the seam along which a reflection will run.
 Number of Sides: Three sides produce a triangular pattern, while four sides produce a
rectalinear pattern aligned with the currently selected angle.
