 **Presets** - For each key effect there is list of presets. A Preset is a simple container for effect values where you can save your frequently used states.  Right now this is just a constant. In addition to Add and Delete buttons there is a Context menu that has commands such as Update, Rename, Add and Delete
 **Action** is an advanced Effect Property. See corresponding Chapter.
 The Key effect time resolution is controllable when working in BEYOND Timeline mode. If you click on the Effect line in a Timeline show, the bottom of the context menu will show:

 BEYOND has a group of 3 effects controlled from one Effects menu. The Color Effect changes (replaces) the RGB values, the Brightness effect modifies the RGB values used in controlling the level of specific dolor channels, and the Power Effect injects additional Anchor points to increase the power (brightness) in laser content. The Power effect can inject up to 10 anchor points into each point where it is used.

 The Color effect is similar to a key effect. There is a sequence of color-keys that compose a gradient or a sequence of colors. Double-click within the color area to create a new color-key. The Gradient area also has a context menu. The top bar of the gradient line allows you to choose the color of the color keys and are for changing the **position** of the keys.
+You can double click on keys to change the value of the key, or right click the keys to set them, set to blank, delete, allocate all colors linearly along the line, or setup the color channels input.

 The Color line creates a color pattern that can be applied to the laser content in  several different ways specified within the **Options** button.

 The **Options** button gives access to a menu for defining how to apply the color effect to the laser content.
 **By points** - depending on the linear order of points within the frame. First point is the start of the pattern; last point is the end of the pattern.
-**By X axis** - based on the X coordinate of the portion of the laser content (horizontally)
-**By Y axis** - based on the Y coordinate of the portion of the laser content (vertically)
+**By X axis** - based on the X coordinate of the portion of the laser content (horizontally).
+**By Y axis** - based on the Y coordinate of the portion of the laser content (vertically).
 **By Z axis** - based on the Z coordinate of the portion of the laser content (backward-forward)
-**By Radius** - based on the distance from center of the laser projection area
+**By Radius** - based on the distance from center of the laser projection area in a circular radial pattern.
+**By Radius** (Unlimited) - Based on the distance from center of the laser projection area, accounting for greater then 100 values (includeds corners of area).
 **By Time** - uses the pattern as a sequence of colors, where one color will be applied to a the whole frame.
-**Color effects** have a few modes; the basic modes are available from Add menu, but a few are specific, and they are “hidden” in Options menu.
-{{:beyond:effectsimage14.png|}}
+**By Angle** - applies based on the circular angle from center of projection area outwards by 360 degrees.
+**By X (Symmetrical)** - based on the x coordinate but in both directions from center, instead of entire axis.
+**By Y (Symmetrical)** - based on the y coordinate but in both directions from center, instead of entire axis.
+**By z (Symmetrical)** - based on the z coordinate but in both directions from center, instead of entire axis.
+**By XY square/blend** - based on an equalized radius of x and y axis, a bridge between radius and radius unlimited.
+**By XYZ (Cube)** - Based on equalized radius of all axis.
+**Color "Type" effects** have a few modes; the basic modes are available from Add menu, but a few are specific, and they are “hidden” in Options menu.
 **Color control** - effect completely replaces the original color of incoming frame.

 **Power Control** - inserts anchor points  to increase the brightness of the content.
+**Anti-Anchor** - Allows effect to control of anchors over the percentage area.
+**Beam Brush Control** - Allows effect to control the beam brush value.
+**Random Black** - Allows for a color noise effect based on the line, allowing for the random black points to move and scale around frames.
+**Color "Type" effects** have also two separate modes for between keys.
 **Gradient** - color pattern change uses a gradient (smooth change between key-colors)

Entering your Own Event name is used for using PangoScript.  Manual - this is for using PangoScript to control the chase property. The step index will be controlled by PangoScript

-EYOND takes the incoming frame, calculates the effect for the 1st zone, saves the result, takes the original frame, applies the effect with time shift, saves for the second zone, takes the original frame, calculates the effect with double the shift value, saves to third zone and so on... The important consequence - at the time the laser content is incoming, we have one frame that is routed to multiple zones, and once outputted - multiple frames being routed to one (corresponding) zone.

 Please note, Multi zone time shift can only be applied once, and instead of one frame we have many frames at the output point as it is too late to do at the Projection Zone level.
