Blur, shadow, glow, blending and color on an object, the same on the canvas and in the export.

01

Select one or more objects with V. In the properties strip, the Object effects button opens every control at once.

02

Blur softens the whole object, and Motion blur smears it in one direction. Drop shadow has a color, distance, direction and softness; Glow around the object has a color, size and strength.

03

Object opacity and Blend mode decide how it meets what lies below: Multiply darkens, Screen lightens, and eleven more modes follow. Tint pulls the colors toward one hue, and Brightness lightens or darkens.

04

Effects are saved in the .zyggs file, export as they look and change from one key to the next in automatic in-between frames. Ctrl+Z undoes each change.
