Compositions
The top level of organization in VCube is the Composition.
A Composition is a set of instructions to VCube. These include format information, screen layout and an EDL indi-
cating what Media is to be played and when. It also determines fades, levels and other parameters. A Composition
does not contain Media Files. Compositions are portable between systems.
Note: Only one Composition can be loaded at a time. However it is possible to load elements of
other Compositions into the current Composition.
File Extension
Vcube Compositions are saved with a .VCube extension.
Video Files in VCube format are saved with a .cube extension.
