Shader
Shaders are visuals the app generates live. They animate forever, have no audio and no timeline, and work with everything else: corner pins, masks, warp paint, color and key.
Using a shader
Section titled “Using a shader”- Pick one from the SHADERS tab of the artwork picker.
- In Step 2, choose the Shader tool.
- Use the arrows at the top of the panel to choose the shader grid.
Controls
Section titled “Controls”| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Speed | How fast the animation runs. Zero freezes it, and changing it never makes the picture jump. |
| Scale | How zoomed in the pattern is. |
| Reset (trash can) | Puts the selected grid’s sliders back to their defaults. |
Good to know
Section titled “Good to know”- The Shader tool works on one grid at a time; there’s no Modify All Grids here.
- On a grid that isn’t a shader the controls are disabled and the app says “This control only works for Shader grids”.
- Changing a grid’s art starts its shader settings from the defaults again. Duplicating a grid keeps them.
- Slider changes are saved with the project and can be undone.
- The playback bar’s speed control is for videos and doesn’t affect shaders.
