Hey guys! Im trying out pivot and I saw some pivot animations by pros and I saw that they use some effects (those speedline thingies, fire, lightning, etc.) Does anyone know where i can get these or can you post the link here? THANKS!!!

So it's better to research effects yourself rather than depend on sticks because they are not the easy solution, unless you just want to go to droidz and download overused effect packs used by every other beginner.

I know some people like Senzo also import the gif into flash and add effects there, which might be better for you since that's what you're more familiar with.
