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.
Object handles for combi objects
Combi objects have an additional, sixth handle.
• The four outer handles have the same function as with regular objects.
