Effects in S5

[dolson86]

Hi, I've seen houses that almost have like a shockwave effect from a center point on the house. Does S5 have this or something like it?

The concept is often called "whole house effects".  Yes, you can do that in Motion Effects in S5, and you can do it in SuperStar as well.

My opinion.  Whole house effects look cool once or twice.  I have seen videos of shows that were nothing but whole house effects and it gets really old - really fast.  Note that it takes a lot of pixels to make it look good - I don't, nor do I want them.  I have exactly one whole house effect in one song - and it's a sweep type effect.

S5 has many effects in the Motion Effects editor. You will however need at least several thousand pixels to do that kind of effect on your house.

Also, think about where your audience is. My viewers are on the sidewalk or in the street - too close for the eye pick up most whole house effects. If your audience is farther away, then whole house effects make more sense.
