Effect Options make additional creative workflows possible.
However, they are not applicable to every MADRIX Effect.
Remember that in Operator mode, changes made to the Storage Place will be discarded once you switch away from the Storage Place.
With or without Operator mode, you can effectively use the Effect Options to create your individual effect behaviors.

Opacity Action |
Defines the effect behavior when the Layer opacity is being set from 0 to a higher value. This requires it to be set to 0 first. None - The Layer opacity can be used normaly, without any additional behavior. First Start - The MADRIX Effect will be started when the opacity is set from 0 to a higher value. Once this action is executed, the Layer opacity behaves completely normal, without any additional behavior. Continuation - Once the Layer opacity is set to 0, the effect will be paused and suspended. If the Layer opacity is set to a value higher than 0 again, the effect will resume normally. It will continue from the moment the opacity was set to 0. Restart - The MADRIX Effect starts from the beginning again. Only MADRIX Effects that do not start with random object positions or function randomly in general can offer this feature. |
Start Frame |
Defines the first frame the effect starts with. Only MADRIX Effects that are rendered in a seamless loop, and therefore have a defined frame count, can offer this feature. |
MADRIX Effects Featuring Opacity Action
MADRIX 5 features a wide variety of MADRIX Effects, that each produces specific visual results. The nature of each effect determines if the visual outcome is precisely defined or if the visuals are randomly generated or based on specific input, for example.
That is why specific MADRIX Effects support Effect Options and certain effects do not support it.
