Portrait 450x800 (Wide Aspect 16:9)
The portrait mode allows you to rotate your widescreen monitor
vertically and use it like a poster display. VIP Composer
Professional takes into account the rotation of your monitor
(clockwise or counter-clockwise) and adjusts your pages and
transitions to appear “right side up” even though your monitor is
turned on its side. Use this 450x800 mode if your monitor does not
support anamorphic stretching of images (see below.)
Portrait 600x1066 Anamorphic (Wide Aspect 16:9)
This is the preferred mode for displaying portrait images on
widescreen monitors. It uses anamorphic compression to achieve
the best output from the VIP player, similar to the Landscape
1066x600 mode. To edit these large images, your computer’s
desktop resolution should be in 1024x768 or higher.
You will now be taken to the Project Editor. Remember to set your
preference under the “View” menu for “Pages as List”, depending on if
you prefer to work with thumbnail images or with a detailed list.
Unlike the tutorial project, this project will be empty. The first step is to
create your first page. Click on “Append”. A window will appear:
This is the “New Page Description” window. It allows you to enter a
short description of your page, which can be useful for locating your
page in the list of pages. Some users prefer to enter the name of a client
or other additional info about the page.
Notice this window also allows you to select between “VIP Page” and
“Linked JPEG Image”. For now, only select “VIP Page” (the default),
and click “OK” after you have entered your description.
