Last updated 5 years ago

The Spirals effect provides different representations of two and three dimensional spirals and helix. One or multiple colors can be used for the effect. However, this effect looks best with at least two colors selected.

Description

Palette Red

Defines the number of times (between one and five) that the selected colors are repeated during the duration of the effect. Can be adjusted via the Value Curves options.

Spiral Wraps

Controls the vertical orientation of the spiral. A value of zero is used for vertical lines and the spirals can be adjusted to lean towards either direction. Can be adjusted via the Value Curves options.

Thickness

Controls the thickness of the strands of the spiral. Can be adjusted via the Value Curves options.

Movement

Controls both the speed and direction that the spirals will move. Can be adjusted via the Value Curves options.

Blend
