### Effects & Presets

💡 When using MP5, it's crucial to note that MP5 is optimized for vector-based effects. In contrast, pixel-based effects, which operate on individual resolution-tied pixels, aren't supported by MP5. If you require a specific effect or encounter issues, please contact our support team, and we'll help find a potential workaround.
