dual brightness Effects 1/2
« on: November 25, 2014, 09:20:01 AM »
Would be good to be able to have dual brightness control over Effect1 and 2.

Now I want to make a background of very dim blue and then have bright blue strobing over the top.  If the blue in one effect is din then the other is also dim.

You can use a different blue (darker) in Effect 1. Edit the pallette.

Color Palette (Re: dual brightness Effects 1/2)

edit the palette.
you can have unlimited palettes.
Have one dim colors
one bright
one pallete that are blues, greens.
you then load a palette to use.
Effect 1 and 2 have their own set of palettes. All of this palette info is stored in your sequence xml.

I think we ignore the color palette too much.

try some of these

and then use this free tool that uses this theory

This is opening the mind to other effects.

I just created a bright red/green spiral on effect 1 and a not so bright red/green on effect 2. (different color pallette)

Same width and speeds yields a nice fade when Morph is used.
