Clone is available in the Composite: Toolkit Pack.
Quickly create duplicates of your layer and arrange them in grid patterns.
- Number of Clones: Sets the number of copies of the layer which will be created.
- Position Offset: Define the X and Y distance from the center of the original to the center of the first clone. The same distance will be used to offset any additional clones. The default value is the width of the source layer, so by default there is no space between the clones.
- Rotation: Rotates the original and all clones by a selected number of degrees.
- Rotation Offset: Does not affect the original, but increases the rotation of each clone over the one preceding it by the selected value. So at a value of 15º, for example, the original will be rotated 0º, the first clone would be rotated 15º, and the second clone would be rotated 30º, the third clone 45º, etc.
- Scale Offset: Does not affect the original, but adjusts the scale of each clone to the selected percentage, based on the size of the preceding clone.
- Scale Position Offset: Enabling this option reduces the offset of each clone by a percentage corresponding to the Scale Offset.
- Time Offset: For layers containing movement, the playback of each clone is offset by the number of frames selected here.
- Clone Mode: Select how the clones are positioned in relation to the original.
- Normal: A single copy of clones is created, traveling in the direction defined by the Position Offset values.
- Dual: Clones are created in two opposite directions, in the direction defined by the Position Offset values, and by the inverted offset values.
- Mirror: Uses the same positioning as Dual, but the clones positioned using inverted values are also mirrored from the original.
- Frame Loop: Controls playback of the source layer in each clone.
- No: Each instance of the source is played through once, then ends.
- Repeat: Each clone plays repeatedly through the selected loop range, for the duration of the layer the effect is applied to. After reaching the final frame, playback begins again from the first frame.
- Oscillate: Each clone plays repeatedly through the selected loop range, for the duration of the layer the effect is applied to. The frames play back first forward, then in reverse order, then forward, etc.
- Loop Range: When The Frame Loop option is set to Repeat or Oscillate, Frame Loop controls will be displayed.
- Start Time: Select the frame of the source layer at which playback will start.
- End Time: Select the frame of the source material at which play back will stop.
- Blend Mode: Controls how the effect is combined with the contents of the layer it is applied to.
