Matching color produces subtle result (center); using red with high Width and low Height settings (right) creates striped result.

Anchor

The point of origin of the checkerboard pattern. Moving this point offsets the pattern.

Size From

How the dimensions of the rectangles are determined:

Corner Point

Each rectangle’s dimensions are those of the rectangle with opposite corners defined by the Anchor and Corner points.

Width Slider

A rectangle’s height and width are equal to the Width value, meaning the rectangles are squares.

Width & Height Sliders

A rectangle’s height is equal to the Height value. A rectangle’s width is equal to the Width value.

Feather

Thickness of the edge feather within the checkerboard pattern.

Color

The color of the non-transparent rectangles.

Opacity

The opacity of the colored rectangles.

Blending Mode

The blending mode to use to composite the checkerboard pattern on top of the original clip. The default None mode renders the checkerboard pattern only.
