Gallery

You can find the gallery effect in the Toolbox below the tab objects in the section object effects.

With the help of the gallery you can arrange images, videos or texts in a regular grid.

Inserting the gallery effect into the timeline

Drag the gallery from the Toolbox into the Timeline.

2. Adding images

To add images to the gallery drag an image object from the Toolbox into the content field, which is located inside the gallery. As yo now select images, you can select several images at once by holding down Ctrl  and click on the desired photos. Select open, to insert the images. Alternatively you can use the image selection in the File browser. Drag the images from the File browser into thecontent area of the gallery.

3. Adjusting images

So long as the images are arranged underneath each other in the Timeline, they will appear consecutively. To ensure that the images appear at the same time in the gallery, arrange them one on top of the other.

Objects must be placed one below the other.

You will see on the time scale above, at what time and for how long the pictures will be shown. If you would like the images to displayed in a time-delayed fashion, arrange the images on top of each other in a tiered manner.

Otherwise, you should always add the objects one on top of the other.

Settings for images within the gallery effect

Should the images appear at the same time in the gallery it is advisable either to select the same fade-in for all images, or to dispense entirely with fade-in. Select all the images that are located in the gallery by holding down the  Ctrl  key while clicking on each image. Now go to the properties window and under fade-in, select either none or a specific fade-in which will apply to all images. Under duration enter a value of 10 seconds, so that the viewer has more time to view the gallery.

Settings for the gallery-effect

If the entire gallery is selected, you can specify more details for it in the properties window. Under number of columns specify the number of images to be displayed next to each other in a horizontal line. The number of columns will affect the size and position of the images included in the gallery.
To determine the frame width there is a ruler. With this, you specify how large the spacing should be between the images or if there is any at all. For a gallery with no borders, the ruler should be set to the 0.
You can use the option enforced cropping to display the images in the gallery, with no gaps. Each image is automatically cropped so that it fits perfectly into the gallery.
