**Selecting and Viewing Media Elements**

1. **Accessing Media Information:**
   * Click on any media element listed on the right side of the ExaPlay interface.
   * Detailed information about the selected element will appear, allowing you to view its properties.
2. **Opening Multiple Windows:**
   * You can open multiple windows within ExaPlay to view and work with different media elements simultaneously.
   * This feature enables you to compare or edit multiple items without switching back and forth between elements.

**Adjusting Media Settings**

1. **Color Visibility:**
   * For visual media like videos and images, adjust the color settings to ensure they are visible according to your preference.
2. **Setting Screen Field:**
   * Below the color settings, you can choose a specific screen field for the media element to occupy.
3. **Custom Size and Position:**
   * Define the size of the media element by percentage (e.g., 30%) or in pixels (e.g., 200 pixels).
   * Position the media element anywhere on the screen using the alignment tools.
4. **Scaling Options:**
   * Choose how the media element should fit the screen:
     * **Original Size:** Keeps the element at its original dimensions.
     * **Fill:** Expands the element so that one dimension fills the screen.
     * **No Scaling:** Displays the element without any size adjustments.
     * **Cover:** Stretches the element to cover the entire screen area.

**Applying Settings to Screen Fields**

1. **Navigating to Screen Fields:**
   * Go to the 'Targets' menu and select 'Screen Field'.
   * Choose 'New Field' to create a new screen area.
2. **Configuration:**
   * Apply the same sizing and positioning settings to the screen field as you would to a media element.
   * Assign the configured screen field to a track, composition, or specific media.

**Options for Application:**

* You can apply settings either directly to individual media elements or to screen fields, offering flexibility depending on your project needs.
