Features of Sothink Glanda 2005

Edit effects
After you add the effect to your movie, you also can change its parameters to implement different animation effects.
Add multiple effects
 Glanda supports adding multiple effects to one object. There are two ways to play the effects: playing the effect under the order you defined or letting multiple effects show blended/combined. See Stack effect.

Stack Effect
The most unique and magic feature Sothink Glanda 2005 provides is that you can create a new effect, completely different from the built-in effects, by using the Effect Stacking technology. With a few carefully chosen and configured effects you are able to achieve lots of very unique and stylish effects.
For example, all three movies below use the built-in effects named Hastily stop 2 and Popple, and a curve motion path, but have different results.
