Object Effects

Main Effects Dialog


When you click the Magic Hat, you will see this dialog. From Here you can select your Effect Type. Motion Effects make do things like Slide Objects In and Out, perform Fades, and resizing. Action Effects do things like Explode, and Assemble. Advanced Effects control exact positioning and movement of objects with X/Y coordinates and Preset Positions, and Size of Objects in Percentages.

Note: Some Objects do not have access to all the different Effects types.

Motion Effects


You can use multiple Motion Effects at the same time. Play around with different combinations for some really cool Effects.



Action Effects


Action Effects are much more complex and cannot be used in combination with any other effects. Just select an Effect from the dropdown and then Play the project to see it in Action.



Advanced Effects:


Advanced Effects can be used to make Motion and Sizing Effects that cannot be achieved with the other preset effects. You need to know a little about X/Y coordinates and have a little patience to play with them, but the results can be well worth the extra effort.



Movie Action

In Firestarter 4.5, you can add actions to your movie. These are great for making your movies interactive. You can make the movie Stop, Play, or Jump to a specific frame.
