Object handles
All objects can be re-sized with their lower edge “object handles”. Move the
mouse over one of the lower corners of the object until the mouse pointer
becomes a double arrow. Move the mouse over one of the lower corners of
the object until the mouse pointer becomes a stretch symbol.
5 "handles": Length, fade, transparency (volume)
An object can be faded in or out with the handles to the left and right upper
corners of the object. Cross-fades between different objects can be created by
overlapped positioning of objects that are fading in and out. The length of the
cross-fade can be adjusted with the handles.
Using the transparency/volume handle located centrally at the top of the
object, adjusts the transparency of video and Bitmap objects, or the volume of
audio and image objects.
If
you adjust the middle handle of a video object all the way down, the object
will become transparent. If a second object is located on a track above it, a
black color will appear from below it, so that brightness will be reduced.
