supplementary or bonus effects and click on this button, a
Product information menu opens and gives you an explana-
tion or summary instructions for the selected effect . If there is
a manual available for a product, the information will refer to
that manual . This button is inactive for those effects for which
no information is provided . The “i” button is also present in the
Install product menu in the System Settings screen . There you
can bring up information on the products selected in the list
(e .g . effect modules, font packages, etc .) . You will also find in-
formation and summary instructions for products that are only
installed as demo versions, if available . The info button of the
edit menu is available both in the “Storyboard” part (displays
information about the storyboard) as well as in the “Scene Bin”
(displays information about the activated scene) .
Archive function
You will see the “Archive” button in various menus and
screens (e .g . titling, color box) . Clicking on this button opens
a screen in which there are four buttons: “Load”, “Save”,
“Delete”, and “Cancel” . Clicking on “Load” displays a list of
the titles, effects, or settings that have previously been saved .
You can then directly select an entry or scroll to an entry in this
list and confirm . A click on “Save” displays the same list . There
are now two possible courses of action:
1 . You can click on the rectangle directly below the list so that
the keyboard is called up and you can type in a name, after
which you click on “OK” in the keyboard and in the text archive
field . This creates a new archive entry .
2 . You can select an entry from the list and then click on the
rectangle in which the name of the selected entry is now
visible . Now you can use the keyboard field to overwrite this
name with another name of your choice . You may also click
on an entry without clicking on the name field . You can then
confirm by clicking on OK . The selected entry will be replaced
by the previously created entry, but it will keep its name .
With the help of archiving you can save frequently used stan-
dard text and reuse the text at any time in any of the projects .
If you click on “Delete”, a list of the saved entries is displayed
in which you can select an entry to delete and confirm with
“OK” . Clicking on “Cancel” exits the window without making
any changes .
Defining position as an effect property
Many effects, such as transition effects, image processing
effects or titling effects make it possible to define a position in
their settings . This is necessary to set the origin or the ap-
pearance of the second scene in a crossfade, for positioning
texts in the Titler or for setting the position of an effect for
image processing effects . “Rectangle fade” is an example of a
transition effect where this occurs . Open the position menu to
display a small menu in which the position and the size for the
effect can be set . A dotted frame will be drawn on your scene
to determine the position and the size of the effect .
The position can be changed by clicking on the “Position”
button . The position of the frame can then be changed directly .
The size of the frame can also be changed, by clicking on
“Size” . The top left corner will always be fixed .
A grid can also be activated, to make it easier to set the posi-
tion of a scene . Positioning by means of a raster is especially
useful when a multi-location effect has to be created, taking
into account other existing transitions .
Image-Pool
The Image Pool is a particularly useful function . This is a global
area in which graphics and masks can be stored . Graphics
and masks can also be exchanged between different software
packages . For example, graphics can be stored here, directly
