Parameter

The Parameter dynamic effect continuously varies the selected parameter of a watermark with a preset speed during a specified time period.

The dynamic effect possesses the following properties:

Start

This section includes properties that define the start point of the dynamic effect's timeline. The time is calculated relative to the watermark's timeline.

• Start Point - the start point of the timeline (in hh:mm:ss.ms format, where hh - hours, mm - minutes, ss - seconds, ms - milliseconds).

• Relative to End - if enabled, the start point will be calculated relative to the end point.

End

This section includes properties that define the end point of the dynamic effect's timeline. The time is calculated relative to the watermark's timeline.

• End Point - the end point of the timeline (in hh:mm:ss.ms format).

• Relative to Start - if enabled, the end point will be calculated relative to the start point.

• End of File - if enabled, the end point of the timeline will be set to the last frame of a produced video file.

• Relative to EOF - if enabled, the end point will be calculated relative to the end of file.

Parameter

This section includes the main properties of the Parameter dynamic effect.

• Name - the name of the watermark's parameter to be varied.

• Direction - the direction of the effect's action. This parameter can take one of the following values:

1. From Min to Max - if selected, the parameter's value will vary from its minimum value to the maximum one.

2. From Max to Min - if selected, the parameter's value will vary from its maximum value to the minimum one.

• Min - the minimum value of the watermark's parameter.

• Max - the maximum value of the watermark's parameter.

Cycle

This section includes properties concerned with the dynamic effect's cycle.

• Mode - the cycle mode. This parameter can take one of the following values:

1. All Timeline - if selected, one cycle of the dynamic effect will take the whole timeline.

2. Custom Duration - if selected, one cycle of the dynamic effect will take the specified time. In this case the following parameters become available:

• Duration - the time taken by one cycle of the dynamic effect (in hh:mm:ss.ms format, where hh - hours, mm - minutes, ss - seconds, ms - milliseconds).

• Reflex - if enabled, the direction of the effect's action will change with every next cycle.
