Color codes of object types
In the Name box you can insert a self-defined name.
If the object type is changed afterwards, again the default name is set for this object.
Therefore it is better to select first the type of the object and to insert as second the name!
For information how the default name is built, please refer to section
5.6.2 New object and fill
grid
With the X box and the Y box the position of the upper left corner can be indicated. The Width box and the
Height box indicate the size of the object.
In the Aspect ratio list the values none, 4/3, 4/3+, 16/9 or 16/9+ can be selected. 4/3 and 16/9 apply the
aspect ratio to the whole object, this is the video, border and UMD. The two settings 4/3+ and 16/9+ display
the video itself in the indicated aspect ratio. The whole object including borders and UMD might have another
aspect ratio.
If a fixed aspect ratio is selected the object gets adjusted to this setting, in doing so the width of the object re-
mains and the height of the object gets adapted.
Position and size can be changed with the X, Y, Width or Height box even if the
- button
is toggled on, see section
5.7.2 Lock objects!
The check box Transparent on video defines the transparency of objects, which are stacked on top of this ob-
ject. If a stacked object is of type video only its border and UMD becomes transparent. Objects off all other types
become completely transparent. The grade of transparency is determined by the underlying video object, see
Properties Tab - Video object below.
