## What is Effects Expert?

Effects Expert provides a simple and efficient way to produce visual effects for your movie project.

Major Features are:
- a simple user interface that mimics a light-box for lining up and editing the elements that make up your effects shot
- use of Visual Programming that allows effects to be configured by dragging and dropping processing nodes into an ImageFlow
- automated compositing means you don't need to manual process each frame
- an extensive library of processing nodes to handle common image  processing and compositing functions
- integrated audio mixing
- configurable resolution (480, 720, 1080, 4k...)

Effects Expert has 2 modes of operation:

1) Basic mode
The Basic mode of Effects Expert is suited to simple projects but also allows users to get a feel for the app's workflow before committing to the purchase of the PRO upgrade

2) PRO mode
The PRO mode has an expanded ImageFlow node library and expanded capability for sharing work between users.
An In App Purchase enables this functionality for users of the Basic mode.
