Pack

Pack uses a selected component of the input image to build its pattern. Start with Channel=Alpha for transparent text or a logo. Opaque video has alpha equal to one across the frame, so it will not isolate the visible subject; consider Luminance or a prepared RGB channel for that material. Inspect the selected component separately from the attractive color image.

Random Seed selects a randomized layout. Maximum Elements limits the number of generated elements, while Size Minimum/Maximum and the subsequent Size Multiply/Add control their scale. The maximum is not a promise of exactly that count: source channel, sizes and shapes also affect the result. Size values here use the plugin’s scale; no unverified pixel or radius conversion is assumed.

Circle, Square and Diamond use built-in forms. Shape mode uses the separate Shape image input. Color=External obtains color from a different image input, Color Map. Do not combine these branches into one socket: rasterize a shape mask first, for example with Background, and supply color as an independent image. Image color mode takes color from the main source.

Color / Overlap sets how overlapping elements combine. Maximum, Add, Multiply and Screen affect their resulting color at intersections. Range Overlap belongs to another tab and affects range progression. Begin diagnosis with a restrained Solid and Maximum so bright intersections do not conceal shape problems.

Range separates progression order from layout geometry. Its Random Seed should not be confused with Random Seed on Controls. Range Type, Seeds and Jitter organize progression; Min/Max, Length and Overlap affect its active section and transition. Range Curve shapes this system’s response; temporal key interpolation is chosen separately in Spline. Test exact boundary inclusion and Seeds/Length interactions on a fixed layout in your installed build.

Super-Sampling offers 1x1, 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, 8x8 and 16x16; the archived capture selects 2x2. A higher setting can improve fine diagonal edges at additional computational cost. Inspect them at 100% and in motion. To composite the finished pattern locally, use the mask of a downstream Merge.

The purpose is checked against the Resolve 21 manual and controls against all six original PNGs. Separate Shape and Color Map image registrations are additionally corroborated in the retained author Krokodove v8.30 build for Fusion 8/9. This is not a run of the modern tool: Resolve 21 socket colors and order, a common Effect Mask and native IDs still need verification. The diagram therefore uses neutral markers and explicit input names.
