Adjust the size horizontally (X) or vercally (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 rao by using the cursor, please enable the KEEP
ASPECT RATIO buon. You will nd it on the right of the width and height cursors.
Transparency
Use the Transparency to give at your layer a transparent eect. Layers behind the transparency layer will
show through more or less based on the transparency value.

The Cropping feature allows you to cut the part of the image you don’t want. Simply adjust the size horizontally
or vercally and then adjust the posion 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 seng with the input crop which is specic
to an input.

On the Transions secon, you can lter which transions you want to see. For Example, you can show just
the Slide or Wipe transions.
Each layer has an opening and a closing transion. The opening eect will be applied when the layer switch
from a source to another source or when the layer is switching from empty and appears with a source.
To set up the duraon of the transion, please see below the ming and duraon sengs. If you want to
force the layer to perform a closing and opening transion, see FORCE TRANSITION.

The Force Transion buon disables the cross-transion between two sources into the
same layers. Enabling the Force Transion, it forces the layer to go out and then go in with
the desired eect instead of mixing directly the two sources.

Enable the Smooth Move to perform a smooth transion on the layer. Disable the smooth move if you require
a constant speed move.

The layer layout gives you access to several predened layouts with 4, 3, 2 or 1 PIP already sized and placed
into the output. It can help you to quickly set up 3 PIPs side by side for example. (Number of layers depends
on the used mode.)
Once clicking on the layout buon, you have access to the presets with
2, 1 PIPs or all layouts.
Two other opons are available below:
