Things needed for this chapter
For now, we will focus our attention only at the
Photo
mode. So, why is the main
topic mentioning the Movie effects? The reason is because all the effects we will
see here can be applied both to a static image (the
Photo
mode) and to a movie (the
Movie
mode). For this reason, it is good to keep in mind that all you will learn here
can also be applied into the Movie effect, which is going to be covered in
Chapter 9
,
Animation Techniques
. Are you losing something for not using the
Movie
mode?
The difference with using the Movie mode
The difference between the
Movie
and
Photo
modes is that the
Movie
mode is
designed to create small clips that when combined creates a movie.

Movie
mode, although the control we have might not be
the best, the benefit is that we have access to more options.
This includes the opportunity to export render passes that
can be later used to tweak the image.
The
Photo
mode on the other hand gives a quick access to output a single still image,
as shown in the following screenshot:
