"Delivers exactly what it promises — a clear, step-by-step tutorial for creating a randomized prediction effect."

AI Summary

This tutorial demonstrates how to build an interactive randomized prediction effect using the Future Reveal template in Effect House. The video walks through customizing categories, editing prediction lists, replacing visual assets, and publishing the final effect for mobile devices.

[00:02]
Introducing the Future Reveal Template

The template works as a randomizer, cycling through options across multiple categories to reveal a list of predictions. It can be repurposed for birthday gifts, travel destinations, or any randomizer idea.

[00:28]
Setting Up the Template

Open Effect House Effect Maker on your computer, head to the template section, and select the Future Reveal template.

[00:42]
Understanding the Object Panel

The card acts as the background, the category object shows the color frame for each row, and the title and option text objects display category names and results.

[00:56]
List Variables and Categories

Five list variables (home, money, career, family, kids) each contain eight options the effect randomly selects from.

[01:10]
Visual Script Logic

The system uses five subgraphs connected in a single trigger chain, so each category reveals its result in a polished sequence.

[01:38]
Gatekeeper and Randomizer Mechanics

An if statement checks a 'done' variable to ensure the animation only triggers when the previous category finishes. A transition node uses a modulo operator and list length to cycle through options.

[02:04]
Final Actions of the Script

At transition end, the script updates the option text with the winning result, swaps the purple frame to pink 'done' asset, and updates the done variable to trigger the next subgraph.

[02:19]
Customizing Categories

Change title text, font, and color for each category; e.g., rename 'kids' to 'dogs' and choose a font like Cherry Bomb One.

[02:59]
Updating Prediction Lists

Rename the list variable to match the new title and enter new options; e.g., dog breeds for the 'dogs' list.

[03:27]
Customizing Visuals with Assets

Upload custom assets for the background card and category frames; use tools like Nano Banana on Gemini. Original card size is 529x722 pixels.

[04:36]
Replacing Start and Done Frames

Import new assets and update the asset fields in the properties panel and visual script for the category start and done states.

[06:06]
Color Tinting for Frames

Use color tint under the asset to adjust frame colors; copy hex codes across categories for a cohesive look.

[06:51]
Previewing on Phone

Click the phone icon, scan the QR code, and interact with the effect on your mobile device.

[07:04]
Publishing the Effect

Upload a 400x400 thumbnail (under 2MB), name the effect, add instructions, and submit for review.

The Future Reveal template is a versatile starting point for any randomized prediction effect, and with simple customizations you can make it your own. Testing on a real device and following the publishing specs ensures a smooth launch.

[00:56] list variables that matches those categories: home, money, career, family, Each of these lists contain eight different options that the effect will randomly select from. Now let's dive into the visual script to

[01:10] see how the logic is managed. The entire system is organized into a streamlined trigger chain using five sub graphs connecting in a single line. This ensures each category, home, money, career, family, and kids, reveal its

[01:23] result in a specific polished sequence. you'll find the logic is separated into three functional sessions. The sub graph begin by using an if statement to check a done variable.

[01:38] This acts as a gatekeeper, ensuring the animation only triggers if the previous category finished or if the specific start condition are met. Once triggered, a transition node drive the visual shuffling effect. It uses a mode

[01:51] operator and the list length of category variable, such as home, travel, it cycles through different text options, creating an excitement of randomizer in motion. At the transition end, the script lands

[02:04] on the final random result pulled from the list. The logic then perform two final actions. They update the option text object with the winning fortune. It swaps the initial purple frame to pink category done asset and updates the

[02:19] done variable to trigger the next sub graph in chain. First, let's customize the categories. In the object panel, find the text object named title five. By default, it says kids, but I prefer dogs. So I'm going to change the text to
