Title: Using my new effects
Post by: Gilrock on April 25, 2015, 09:33:26 PM: I'm working on this song for a matrix that will hang on an archway for a high school grad night party. I threw this together today in a couple hours. Midday I decided to add a new effect called Shockwave which is another one coming from SuperStar. It's basically kinda simple. Just an expanding or contracting circle with ability to define start and end radius and width as well as position and acceleration. I used it a few times in this video clip. If you use it stand alone the edges will blend nicely to black. You can see the dark edges when I used them here because they are overlapping other effects.

I have no idea what your talking about. I'm mainly showing you the new Shockwave effect I added to xLights which will be in the next release.
