In the Effect Controls panel:

  • Matte is an input to an effect, scaling the strength. Invert inverts the mattes for calculating strength.
  • Frame rate sets how many times a second the picture updates.
  • Phase shifts where the steps land.
  • Matte and Invert drive the strength of the effect from another layer’s brightness; see Effects.
