So this update includes a lot of changes behind the scenes for Effects, including the ability to utilize multiple effects even the ones previously marked as a shader effect. This required merging the shaders into one mega shared shader and having the code only enable the features as needed. Also a new effect was added called Horizontal Split for creating scenes with split screens.
With the Horizontal Split Effect each section is its own layer and you can specify via a percentage where to start it and how wide it is. For example to do a 3 way split like in the above video, you need to make the first layer start at 0% and have a width of 33%. The second layer should start at 33% and have a width of 34% and the third should start at 67% and have a width of 33%. This gives you the above effect, you can do half and half or anything else you can imagine.
Some upgrades have been made to the video recording feature to make it not only more well known but also easier to use. First there are 2 new settings added:
Output path lets you select where the videos are saved to, this makes it much easier for you to find them when you are finished.
Show Record Button provides a button in the bottom right corner that lets you toggle starting and stopping the video recording.
Another nice extra feature is that while you're recording it will show a blinking red dot in the upper right corner of the screen to let you know that a recording is happening.
Lastly, the Layer Manager Button, Record button, Blinking Dot and texts notifying you of recording starting and stopping do NOT show up in your recording now, ensuring your recording is going to be at its best!
