Properties of Objects

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

As you have already learnt in the previous sections, there are so-called Properties for the Objects. In these you can configure specific settings for the respective objects.

You will find the Objects in the Toolbox.

The Properties can be shown fixed on the user interface (always embedded) or also only displayed when required. If you do not show them on the user interface, you can access the Properties at any time by right-clicking the relevant object.

The following fundamental properties are available with every object:

Props_Common_ShowObject

Determines whether the object should be shown when playing back the presentation.

Props_Common_Duration

Here you can set the exposure time. In other words, how long, for example, an image, text or video is supposed to be shown. The cross fading effects take place within this exposure time.

Props_Common_DefaultStay

In the Project settings you can set a standard exposure time for your Objects. If you change the exposure time there, this applies to all Objects in the show in the case of which the standard exposure time was enabled and to Objects which are newly inserted.

Props_Common_KeepAfterPlay

Normally an image or text is cross faded by a subsequent image. In that respect, the image lingers. If it is not desired in the case of a particular animation, the lingering can also be turned off.

 

Hint

If you deactivated an image of your show (Show object deactivated), it will not be displayed anymore in the Timeline. The Timeline displays only objects that are supposed to be replayed. If you want to reactivate an image you can do this in the Image list or in the Storyboard.
