Features of Sothink Glanda 2005
Effect
Dozens of built-in effects.
Glanda supplies dozens of built-in effects so users
can create animations easily, for text, shapes and images.
These built-in effects are classics that are carefully selected
from many wonderful samples. It will add that professional touch to your movie. ( You can also develop
and add effects to the effects library.)
Edit effects
After you add the effect to your movie, you can
change its parameters to implement different animation
effects.
Add multiple effects
Glanda supports adding multiple effects to one object.
There are two ways to play the effects: playing the
effect under the order you defined or letting multiple
effects show blended/combined. See Stack effect.
Save and apply combined effect
We have prepared some combined effects that can be
applied in your artwork. You can also save the elements
that you added effects to as effect settings for
your next use.
 Motion
Path
Motion path is also an effect Glanda
2005 offers. You can combine the motion paths with
other animated effects. See Stack effect.
Glanda 2005 has the Oval, Curve, Line
and Scribble drawing tools to help you draw the path
freely.
Stack Effect
The most unique and magic feature Sothink
Glanda 2005 provides is that you can create a new effect,
completely different from the built-in effects, by using
the Effect Stacking technology. With a few carefully
chosen and configured effects you are able to achieve
lots of very unique and stylish effects.
For example, all three movies below
use the built-in effects named Hastily stop 2 and
Popple, and a curve motion path, but have different
results.
Effects without stacking (Effects played
one after another.)
Effects overlapped
