Working With Generators

Soft Gradient

The Soft Gradient generator creates a soft-edged, radial gradient. The gradient contains
an alpha channel so that you can place the generator over another image in the
project. You can change and keyframe the color, size, and position of the Soft Gradient.

Star

The Star generator creates a glowing star shape that contains an alpha channel. The
scale, width, angle, epsilon (which fine-tunes the size of the star spikes), and opacity of
the spikes can be modified and keyframed, as well as the position, color, and radius of
the star.
