How to create a new effect

All effects are uploaded in the program. New effect libraries are absolutely free for the registered clients! Moreover, if you would like to create new effects by yourself, you just need a new idea and the brief instruction below.

All effects are divided between libraries by such a manner that the similar effects are in the one file with the extension *.fse.

The effect describes changing of the current and following slides with the transformation matrix. There are two types of such matrix: transformation of colors and size.
Here is the example of the effect "Panoramic view for current and following slide to left":

Identificator is a unique value which is used by the program to identify a slide with a effect. The identificators of each library should be with the same suffix.

Name of effect is for describing of effect only. Just the one is shown in the program.

Steps number of effect can be from 1 to 255.

Deepness of following slide defines where the follow slide appears.
1 – the follow from top of the current, 0 – the follow from bottom of the current.

Start point of step is a value in percents. The first step must start from 0.

The first value is for the current slide, the second is for the new one.
1 - it is neccesary to make transformation, 0 - is not

First the matrix of colors transformation is defined for the current slide and then for the following. The matrix is defined in the R G B A format.

Color components can change from -255 to 255. The difference between the matrix for the current and following slides is the values for the current one define the slide condition at the end of the effect diagram and for the following one - at the start.
How does it work? For instance, the matrix 0 0 0 -255 for the current slide is defined. The current slide matrix is always 0 0 0 0 at the start of transformation, therefore the alpha value goes down till -255 by the end of transformation or, it becames transparent fully.

Now there is the same matrix 0 0 0 -255 but for the following slide. The following slide matrix is always 0 0 0 0, so the alpha value goes up from the fully transparent to 255, normal without transparency.

The values of the size transformation matrix are defined like the values of the colors transformation matrix.

The matrix is defined in the format ScaleX ScaleY SkewX SkewY TranslateX TranslateY.

ScaleX, ScaleY are compression coefficients in percents. The negative values (from 0 to -100) compress an image, the positive ones - extend it.

SkewX, SkewY are the skew coefficients in percents of the size. The fixing point is the top left corner of the slide.

TranslateX, TranslateY are the replacement coefficients in percents of the size. 0 is at the top left corner of the slide. The positive X directs right, Y - down.

In the example which is above is used the matrix 0 0 0 0 -100 0 for the current slide, it means the only TranslateX coefficient has defined, so the slide will be replace for the slide width to left. As the matrix 0 0 0 0 100 0 for the following slide has been defined, so the slide replace at the start of transformation is equal to the slide width to right.
