Create and Modify a Shot
When a shot is created, it must be given a name and view type. The view type
assigned to the shot determines which transition and motion options you can
change. After a shot is created, a thumbnail is automatically generated and
placed under the shot sequence that was assigned to the shot. The name of
the shot is located below the thumbnail. If you need to change a shot, you
can right-click the shot that you want to modify.
The shortcut menu of a shot has the following options:
Properties. Displays the dialog box to modify the shots transition and
motion settings, and assigned shot sequence, among other settings.
Rename. Renames a shot.
Delete. Removes a shot.
Move Left and Move Right. Changes the position of a shot in the shot
sequence by one position to the left or right.
Update the Thumbnail. Updates the thumbnail for a single shot or for all
shots saved with the model.
Create and Modify a Shot Sequence
When a shot is created, you can add the shot to the default shot sequence or
specify the shot sequence to which the shot should be added. Each shot

is below the thumbnail.
The shortcut menu of a shot sequence has the following options:
Rename. Renames a shot sequence.
