Media properties (position, scale, time …)

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.
