====== Write out Effect Editor ======

{{:beyond:writeout-effect-editor.png?nolink|}} 

A Write Out Object is based on two main elements. The first is the Image that creates the Write Out Path. The second is the Path itself. The Path is just a Static Frame. 

The **Image** section has 3 standard buttons that allows you to choose an Image - Open, Copy, and Paste. The **Path** section has the same buttons plus button R. Button R reverses the Point Order of the Path. 

===== Parameters =====
 
  * **Move Only** - moves the Image by the Path and does not display the Path. 
  * **Write Out** - moves the Image, and displays the Path.
  * **Write Out + Fade** - moves the Image, writes out the Path, and fades out the Path (this mode is shown on screenshot) 
  * **Don't hide** - moves the Image, always shows a Path.
  * **Duration** - the duration of the Image Motion from the beginning to the ending of the Path. 
  * **Visible Tail** - the number of Points in the Path that are completely visible. 
  * **Faded Tail** - number of Points in the Path that Fade Out to zero.  
  * **Trim Unused Path Points** - removes invisible Points in the Path (tail). 
  * **Smooth Motion** - uses interpolation between the Points for the Image Motion.  Otherwise, the Image will jump from Point to Point. 
  * **Don’t Move** - the Image stays static, but all the actions related to the path work.  Currently BEYOND has various ways of getting the same result. 

===== Extras =====

  * **Z Rotation** - allows the rotation of the Image, depending on Path Direction. 
  * **Color Action** - allows re-coloring of the Image according to the Path color, or changes the Brightness of the Image depending on the Path.
