The Object
Shortcut Menu for Objects on the Desktop
Picon View can be controlled just like in a Rack ( page 9-26) with an
object’s shortcut menu. Use the Mark-In/Mark-Out mode to see the
actual images at the in and out points.
Moreover, three special functions are additionally available for
desktop storyboarding:
Select All Overlapping
Click an object in a series, then right-click and select this option to
select all overlapping objects in the given series. If you created two
or more series of overlapping clips, you have to repeat this proce-
dure for all other series. Selected objects appear with a narrow yel-
low border.
You can also select objects with the mouse by dragging a
frame around them or with
SHIFT+click.
Cascade Selected Objects
Click this option to arrange all selected objects in a cascaded stack
to create more room on the desktop.
Shuffle Selection
Click this option to view the individual objects in a cascaded stack in their defined order. Each
object is displayed for about two seconds. This is useful for viewing entire clip series. Once the
last object is reached, the system starts over from the beginning. To stop this procedure, click the
desktop.
