To remove any other point in the path right click on the desired point and select "Delete" from the resulting popup
menu.
To change the rotation of the matrix at a point select "Edit Rotation" from the right click menu and enter the desired
value (in degrees) into the edit box that appears.
To change the scale of the matrix at a specific point select "Edit Size" from the right click menu and enter the desired
value into the edit box that appears. When the effect plays the scale of the matrix will transition between values
across the length of the path.
Use the "Show point information" option (toggle) to turn on or off popup balloons that will show you what the
rotation and scale setting are for each point. The balloons will appear as you hover the mouse over each point in the
path.
When the effect is played from the editor the red box will track the path over the specified time. As the effect runs
NEO will map the contents of the red box onto the defined matrix. The color of each fixture will be mapped to the
color on the image or video clip. The preview button (shown below) can be used to see the resulting output on screen.
Preview Button
Click on the "Show only assigned fixtures" to apply a mask over the preview that represents the fixtures in the real
world.
Effect Length
The length defines how long the effect will play for and can be any value up to 1 hour. If a video file is selected the
software will prompt you to set the length of the effect to the same length as the video. If the length of the effect is
shorter then the video the video clip will be truncated.
Zoom Matrix
To change the size of the area that the matrix will use to generate output set the zoom field. When playing back the
effect the image will be rescaled to the zoom setting to apply the correct color.
