hope your garden is finished by now!
ok, I’ll try to be more specific…
For some time i have been working with Motion and in my work as an video artist i work a lot with the ‘pinch distortion’ effect from Motion.
Just recently i started to work with Adobe ‘s After Effects and discovered all the lovely distortion tools over there which offer me more possibilities and control.
However I did not find the exactly same kind of pinch distort filter as in Motion…(meaning simple parameters for centre, radius and scaling the pinched image) and i really tried everything in AE.
So I was just wondering: am I obliged to buy a whole set of third party filters (f.i.Noise Industries)
for using just this one filter…
Is there a cheaper and/or other possibility?
