Source with Distortion Layer in mimoLive
The Source with Distortion Layer in mimoLive allows you to dynamically manipulate a video source by distorting its perspective. This layer is perfect for creating custom overlays, simulating 3D transformations, or adjusting video to fit unique screen shapes or environments.
Key Features
Dynamic Perspective Adjustment
The layer allows you to adjust the corners of a video source independently, creating a perspective effect or aligning the source to fit within custom layouts.
Projection Modes
Choose between Perspective and Orthogonal projection modes to achieve the desired distortion style, providing flexibility for both artistic and technical needs.
Feathered Edges
Add a smooth feather effect to the edges of the distorted source to blend it seamlessly into the background or other layers.
Show Fullscreen and Crosshairs
Enable Fullscreen mode or display crosshairs to assist with precise alignment and distortion adjustments.
User Interface
Content Section
- Source A: Select the video or image source you wish to distort.
- The chosen source will be displayed in the layer for further distortion and alignment.
Transition Section
- Type: Choose the transition effect (e.g., Dissolve) for how the layer appears or disappears.
- Duration: Adjust the length of the transition effect.
Appearance Section
- Feather Width: Use the slider to smooth the edges of the distorted source.
- Projection Mode: Switch between Perspective and Orthogonal to define the distortion style.
Geometry Section
- Adjust the X and Y positions of the four corners (Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right) to distort the source dynamically.
- These controls allow for custom alignment and perspective manipulation to fit the video source within any shape or layout.
Example Uses
Custom Overlays
Distort video content to fit custom-shaped overlays for unique visual effects during live streams or recordings.
Projection Mapping
Adjust the video source to match irregular screen shapes or surfaces in projection mapping setups.
Simulated 3D Effects
Use perspective distortion to simulate 3D transformations or depth effects, adding visual complexity to your production.
The Source with Distortion Layer is a versatile tool for precise control over video alignment and perspective, enabling creative designs and professional-level adjustments in your productions.
