Properties / Object settings
Properties of an image object
Each object has certain Properties that are displayed when you click on the Object in the Image list, Timeline or Storyboard. In the example here, the Properties of an Image object are displayed.
Here you can determine, for example, the display duration (under Duration) of your image and the type of Fade-in and Fade-out.
On the Text tab, you can label the image and set text formatting. On the Sound tab, you can assign a self-recorded comment or sound to the image. On the Transparency tab, you can set a transparency curve.
The individual objects and their properties are explained in detail in the chapter Properties of objects.
The properties of effects are explained in the Live effects and Object effects chapters.
