A relative effect is an offset from the current state of a channel parameter. There are three different types of relative effects: Focus Effects, Color Effects , and Linear Effects. Each of the these effect types have a graphic editor designed specifically for the parameters involved.
Relative effects have many of the same properties and attributes as step-based and absolute effects.
Eos Family consoles are preprogrammed with relative effects which represent some of the most commonly used patterns and parameters. These are automatically visible in the effects list and can be manipulated using the encoders to conform to your needs. You may also custom build relative effects.
Note: As you learn to use the effects editor with relative effects, it is recommended that you experiment with the preprogrammed effects until you understand the fundamentals and how effects can be altered.
