Dreamstudio Tutorial: Advanced: Special Effects

Hi there!


This week, we'll be featuring and showing users the special effects that they can add to their videos. After all, it wouldn't really be a Sanrio video without any Sanrio images to animate it, would it?;)


The Special Effects could be accessed by clicking on the "Extra" tab on the left side of the Workspace area, and then clicking on "Special Effects" if these did not display automatically on the right. Like the photos that you upload for your video, the sizes of these can also be manipulated by clicking on the image and then clicking and dragging the small squares on its sides to change its shape. It can also be rotated by clicking on the small "R" on the upper right corner of the image and then changing its position according to how you want it. Some of the images below have been resized and/or repositioned to show this feature too.


You will only be able to use one special effect on each slide. However, you can use these along with the other effects.


Listed below are the available special effects with their corresponding images. The ones on Italics means that these are animated to add more fun and creativity to your blog.:D


Hula Kitty: Aloha! Make Hello Kitty dance the hula and add a Hawaiian touch to your video.
