Intro Effects

Added in v1.3.56

Intro Effects are layer-local visual effects that run during intro playback. Configure the effect normally, then use its own Delay and Duration to place it inside the selected layer's intro.

Effects → Intro Effects

Intro Effects apply a local visual effect only during the selected layer's intro sequence. They reuse the same visual controls as regular Layer Effects, then add dedicated Delay and Duration controls for intro playback.

ESEER Intro Effects showing the available effect cards, an opened effect with its Timing controls, and the option to reuse existing Layer FX settings. — Choose an Intro Effect, configure its normal visual controls, then use Timing to place it inside the layer intro.

Available Intro Effect	Purpose
Glitch	Local tearing, block displacement and RGB split
Chroma	RGB color separation around the layer
Digital Glitch	Digital blocks and unstable horizontal displacement
Slice Glitch	Horizontal slice tearing with RGB split and scanlines
Barrel	Lens-like inward / outward distortion
Scanline	Animated CRT-style scanlines
Motion Blur	Directional blur driven by the layer intro motion

Effect timing

Control	Range	Meaning
Delay	0 → 4000 ms · 50 ms steps	Wait before this effect begins inside the layer intro
Duration	100 → 4000 ms · 50 ms steps	How long the Intro Effect remains active

Open an Intro Effect and select its Timing tab to edit Delay and Duration. These values belong to that effect, so multiple Intro Effects on the same layer can start and end at different moments.

Reuse existing Layer FX settings

If the same effect already exists in the selected layer's regular Layer Effects, ESEER asks whether to start the Intro Effect from Use Layer FX settings or Use defaults.

Choice	Result
Use Layer FX settings	Copies the current visual settings from the matching regular Layer Effect
Use defaults	Creates the Intro Effect using that effect's default visual settings

Effect limits and existing projects

Regular Layer Effects and Intro Effects share the layer's local shader-effect capacity. Up to 8 shader-slot effects can be enabled across both groups. Motion Blur is handled separately and does not consume one of those 8 slots.

Fade In and Fade Out live in the separate Fade section inside Intro → Effects. See Intro Fade.
