CG OBJECT CONSTRUCTION
All CG objects are constructed from separately controlled layers. Depending on the type the CG Object
will have different layers that need to be setup.
All CG Objects contain a GRAPHIC BACKGROUND layer plus several other - either editable or dynamic text
layers that are positioned on top of the background layer.
All layers are combined to create a composite CG Objects that can be used in your productions.
CG PARAMETERS EDITING
Tap the CG PARAMETERS EDITOR button of any CG Object in the CG list that you wish to edit.
It provides access to all controls to setup the CG Object for use in your productions.
The CG Editor GUI is divided into TABS containing all controls to setup the parameters of all
layers used in the construction of the CG Object.
