7.3.2 Layer adjustments
The layer properties are found by opening the tab on the right side of the screen. Click on the double arrow
button on the right to show or hide the layer adjustment tab.
Selected layer
The selected layer status information will indicate which screen, layer and source assigned to that layer are
selected. You must select a layer in order to see the layer properties menu for that layer.
Reset feature
You can reset each category of layer settings quickly (Pos/Size, Transparency, Cropping, Border, Transitions,
Effects, Timing) or you can choose to reset every settings in one click using the ALL button. You can freeze the
input assigned to the selected layer using the Freeze button.
The settings reset here only affects the selected layer on the selected preset. For example, you can reset the
layer settings for layer A on Preview, and Program will be unaffected until you press TAKE.
Position/Size
Adjust the size horizontally (X) or vertically (Y), then adjust the width and the height of your layer. You can
use the cursor or directly enter a value. To keep the aspect ratio by using the cursor, please enable the KEEP
ASPECT RATIO button. You will find it on the right of the width and height cursors.
Transparency
Use the Transparency to give at your layer a transparent effect. Layers behind the transparency layer will
show through more or less based on the transparency value.
Cropping (only for live layers)
The Cropping feature allows you to cut the part of the image you don't want. Simply adjust the size horizontally
or vertically and then adjust the position to display only the desired content. This crop is a layer property, all
inputs displayed in this layer will be cropped. Do not confuse this setting with the input crop which is specific
to an input.
