Frequently asked
Which effect should I use for a company logo?
For anything corporate, start with a shine or gleam. It reads as premium, it leaves the artwork legible, and its first frame is the finished logo — which matters in email clients that show only one frame. Particles and glitch suit gaming, music and event brands.
Can I adjust an effect, or only use the presets?
Every preset is a starting point. Direction, speed, width, colour, intensity and softness are all adjustable in the Fine-tune panel, and the preview updates as you change them.
