Melt Input Parameters
Parameter Type
Description
The Input parameters for the Melt effect control a transition effect that "melts" the foreground image away to reveal the background image. For more information, see Melt.
Use of Controls
Bleed
Changes the melt image to a more dramatic effect.

Melt Up
Reverses the direction of the melt.

Amount
Sets the progression of the effect. A value of 0 is no effect; all of the foreground clip shows. The higher the value, the more of the foreground clip melts away, and more of the background clip shows. Typical keyframing would be from 0 at the first keyframe to 100 at the last keyframe.

Strength
Sets the strength of the distortion; the higher the value, the greater the distortion.

Random Seed
Sets the base number upon which all random values are calculated. Each value results in a different random effect.

Anti-alias

  This parameter is not keyframeable.

Swap Sources
Specifies whether to apply the effect to incoming or outgoing video.
  This parameter is not keyframeable.
