About the User Interface
Here’s a shot of the V1’s main user interface window:
Command buttons are large for ease-of-reading and for the easy use of “tablet and
pen” input devices. Buttons are also high contrast for ease-of-recognition and easy
outdoor use.
The large “video window” is surrounded by the V1’s buttons. It’s here that videos are
displayed and live video is previewed. This window is not simply used for viewing,
however. Once you have selected one of the V1’s drawing tools, you may then use
that tool to draw directly onto the video. Details can be found in the Digital Illustration
Tools chapter.
If you are using the V1 Widescreen version, your desktop resolution must be set to at
least 1280x768 to view the new user interface:
This new size provides ample room for wide-screen video formats, as well as new
interface features. It also provides an advantage for standard video when using
compare or time-lapse modes. You will notice that there are now 15 tabs displayed
along the top of the interface as opposed to 10. To the right of the video controls, you
will find the current pro and student names displayed.
