Compositing With the MultiPlane Node

fitResolution
A pop-up menu with four options: Fill, Horizontal, Vertical, and Overscan. This
parameter determines how differences between the filmBack aspect ratio and that of
the input image are resolved.

filmFitOffset
If the filmBack resolution is different from that of the clipLayer, this parameter offsets
the image within the filmBack resolution in inches.

filmOffset (x, y)
Offsets the image within the filmBack in relation to the area defined by the clipLayer.
This parameter is measured in inches.

useDeviceAspectRatio
If this parameter is turned off, the camera uses the aspect ratio of the input image. If
this parameter is turned on, the deviceAspectRatio parameter is used instead.

deviceAspectRatio
By default, this parameter uses an expression that computes the aspect ratio based on
the filmBack parameter.

xFilter, yFilter
Lets you pick which method Shake uses to transform the image in each dimension. For
more information, see “

Applying Separate Filters to X and Y Dimensions

” on page 863

motionBlur
A Motion Blur quality level of 0. 0 produces no blur, whereas 1 represents standard
filtering. For more speed, use a value less than 1. This value is multiplied by the global
parameter motionBlur.

shutterTiming

A subparameter of motionBlur. Zero (0) is no blur, whereas 1 represents a whole
frame of blur. Note that standard camera blur is 180 degrees, or a value of .5. This
value is multiplied by the global parameter shutterTiming.

shutterOffset

A subparameter of motionBlur. This is the offset from the current frame at which the
blur is calculated. Default is 0; previous frames are less than 0.

.ma Load/Camera Copy, Delete, Link Buttons

Four buttons at the bottom of the Camera tab let you control how .ma camera data is
used within a MultiPlane node.

Load
This button lets you load .ma data from a file. This creates a new camera in the
currently open MultiPlane node.
