When creating a sequence with sequencer and you want to add a slomo effect together with a niagara effects. which method is better?

  1. use time dilation in sequencer?
  2. or make the animation slomo by an animator so that can use more frames and make the niagara effect follow the timing.

and by any case I choose number 2, how can I slo-mo the niagara to match the timing? thank you.

This is actually a very interesting question. Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, so it depends on what you’re trying to achieve.

Using time dilation in Sequencer is easy to use, you can easily control the speed of the entire sequence. But as you mentioned, you have more control over individual elements within the sequence, including Niagara effects when making the animation slow-motion.

So I’d say it depends on the necessary requirements for the project.
