Effect Overview
Effects can be selected, edited, exported, imported, inspected, and previewed on the effect page.
Getting Started
- Your First Effect - Start with the default unison effect
- Effect Configuration - Configure timing and input behavior
Event Types
Build custom effects using three event types:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Standard Events | Individual triggers with precise timing |
| Group Events | Trigger multiple cameras in unison |
| Sequence Events | Trigger cameras sequentially |
For large effects, see Complex Event Programming to use spreadsheet import/export.
