"Star Rays", "Wide Grid", and "Thin Grid"

Top  Previous  Next

In the Light-O-Rama SuperStar Sequencer, there are three buttons at the right end of the toolbar that will set the ribbons into "Star Rays", "Wide Grid", or "Thin Grid":

 

Star Rays

 

In this layout, morphs that come from the top to the bottom should accelerate, and the trail should get longer.  Typical settings might be a start trail of 2 and an end trail of 12.

 

Scenes that come from the top to the bottom should get larger.  The yellow perspective marks on the right side of the pixel grid are designed to help you do this.

 

Wide Grid

 

This view spaces the ribbons to give square pixels.  That is, the space between the ribbons is equal to the height of each pixel.  If you are using the ribbons primarily for animations and text, you will probably use a layout like this.

 

Thin Grid

 

This view spaces the ribbons closer together.  The quality of the animations will improve, but it will take more ribbons to cover the same amount of area.
