Accents 12

  • BurstEffect

    Adds a shape layer of rays, dots or triangles that shoot out from the selection or comp middle and vanish.

  • SparkleEffect

    Adds four-point stars, single or a cluster, that pop and turn in, optionally twinkling while the layer lasts.

  • Circle aroundEffect

    Adds a hand-drawn loop that draws itself once or twice round the selected layers, fitted to their edges.

  • UnderlineEffect

    Draws a straight, wavy or scribbled line under the text, a strike through it, or a marker highlight behind it.

  • ArrowEffect

    Adds a curved or straight arrow that draws on from Accent Start to Accent End, its head riding the tip.

  • Scribble fillEffect

    Adds loose scribble or even zigzag strokes that draw themselves over the selected layer's box, placed behind it.

  • ConfettiEffect

    Adds pieces in up to three colours that pop up and tumble down, or shower down from above.

  • Shine sweepEffect

    Adds a soft white light band that sweeps across the selected layer, using it as track matte so it stays inside.

  • Ripple ringsEffect

    Adds up to five rings that spread out one after another from a point, thinning and fading.

  • Pulse dotEffect

    Adds a dot that pops in with a pulsing halo; the Badge kind adds a white ring round it.

  • Speed linesEffect

    Adds streaks behind a moving layer, turned and strengthened by its motion, or one quick Whoosh at a set angle.

    Puts a decaying shake, or a rotation-only wobble, expression on the selected layers' own Position and Rotation at the playhead.
