14 Kai’s Power SHOW
To remove a thumbnail from a selection:
✤
Hold down the Shift key and click a
selected item. The highlight around
the item disappears.
To deselect a group of thumbnails:
✤
Click outside the selection, or click on
the desktop of the room.
You can also select and deselect
thumbnails in the SORT Room using
SHOW’s custom cursors found in the
Select control. Refer to “Selecting
Thumbnails” on page 44 for more
information.
Viewing File Names
As you move the cursor over a thumbnail
and pause, its file name appears. You can
disable this feature by selecting “Hide File
Names” in the Global menu.
To hide file names on thumbnails:
✤
Go to the Global menu or
Control-click or right-click anywhere
on the screen. Choose Hide File
Names.
Arranging Content
Content can be arranged differently
depending on which room you are in.
When you’re in the SORT Room, content
is arranged by dragging thumbnails on the
desktop.
In the SORT and EDIT Rooms, content
within the Sequencer can be arranged by
dragging a frame within the Sequencer.
This changes the show’s frame order.
Arranging Content on the
Desktop
Just as you would with a stack of photos in
the real world, you can arrange
thumbnails into logical piles on SHOW’s
desktop. You can have all the photos of
people in one pile, all the photos of
landscapes in another pile, and so on.
Arranging Content in the
Sequencer and Nano Sequencer
The Sequencer and Nano Sequencer,
which appear at the bottom of the SORT
and EDIT rooms, display all the content
(frames) currently in your show.
You can use these “filmstrip” controls to
keep track of the items in your show and
to re-arrange the order of your show
contents.
Items are added to the Sequencer in the
SORT Room. Once an item is in the
Sequencer, it also appears in the Nano
Sequencer. Refer to “Adding Content to a
Show” on page 46 for more information.
Once an item appears as a frame in the
show, you change its position in the show
by clicking-and-dragging its frame to a
different location in either sequencer.
The best method of sequencing the
frames in your show is to select them in
the proper order when first adding
them to the Sequencer, using the
Sequence Floatoid or the Select
control’s Sequence cursor in the SORT
Use the Sequencer and Nano Sequencer to keep
track of all the frames in your show.
