Accessing the Warper

You must select the required clips to access the Warper. You can enter the Warper with one to five clips. The number of clips that you load depends on the effect that you want to produce.

To access the Warper:

1. In the Main menu, click Effects, and then click Warper.
2. Select the types of clips you want to load into the Warper from the Input Mode box.

   Select: | To load: | To produce:
   --- | --- | ---
   Front | Front clip only | A warp of a single image.
   Front Back | Front and back clips | A morph, a wipe, or a regional warp.
   Front Matte | Front and matte clips | A warp of a single image using a matte.
   Front Back Matte | Front, back, and matte clips | A warp over a background using a matte.
   Front Back Matte Back/M Bkg | Front, matte, back, back matte, and background clips | A morph using two clips and their mattes on a background clip instead of on black.

3. Select the source clip(s).
4. Select the destination reel.

   The Warper menu appears.
