How do I apply Star Confetti online?
Open the Star Confetti preset, add your image or video, and adjust the loaded effect layers to suit your source. Preview the result before exporting.
What creates the stars and their movement?
Scatter supplies star-shaped marks and shadows. Saved keyframes change its seed, Frame Drop creates a stepped rhythm, and Risograph adds the printed color treatment.
Can I animate a photograph?
Yes. The changing Scatter seed rearranges the stars independently of source motion. A still portrait can therefore become a moving collage while the original subject remains in place.
How do I reveal more of the original photo?
Lower Scatter coverage or density, then adjust star size. If stars obscure the eyes or a logo, try another seed or reduce their coverage before changing the overall color.
Can I change the star colors?
Adjust the Risograph ink choices and channel settings. Because the printing treatment follows Scatter, it affects the combined image as well as the stars; preview skin and background colors together.
