FX Layer question...
Posted: 01 Jul 2022, 08:33
I've been playing with FX layers so I can use colour palettes on my pixel mapping.
I've got some pixel bars which I've setup a 'Sunstrip' style chase running up the battens. I've set the 'Use Master' in the effect and I can use colour palettes to change the effect, however it messes up the effect. It's like it changes the colour but reverts the pixel map effect back to it's initial state, ie before I changed it at all. When I created the effect I added an element, added an animation but the animation started in the middle of the batten so I've adjusted the start position so it runs from the start of the batten, also changed direction. The effect works perfect..... until I fire the FX layer and change a colour, then the direction goes back and it runs from the middle.
Also is there something like FX layer for other shape tools, shape generator/key frame shapes, so I can program a shape and use colour palettes or similar on them?
What am I missing?
Thanks
