Video object settings

Name

Shows the location and file name of your video. Via the folder icon you can swap the video for another video file.

Duration

Once you have changed the playing time of the video, you can adjust the length of the original video by clicking on the time.

Start time

Here you can enter from which position the video should be played. If, for example, you do not want to see the first ten seconds of the video, you enter the value "11 s".

Deinterlacing

Here you should select automatic, off and always from the options. Enabling this option is useful only if you insert videos that have been recorded using the interlaced method.

Playback speed

Here you can set how fast or slow the video should run. Values ​​below 100% slow down the playback speed, more than 100% will speed up the playback speed.

Aspect ratio

Aspect ratio refers to the ratio of height and width of the video. If a video's aspect ratio differs from the selected aspect ratio of the project, you can select your display preference here.

Retain: The video keeps its borders as it is playing.
Crop: Sections of the video's border will be “cut off” until the video fits into the correct aspect ratio, without borders occurring.
Distort: The video is inserted into the aspect ratio of the project and in doing so, a distortion of the image takes place.

Alignment

Determines where the video is to be positioned on the screen.

Rotate in the direction of movement

If you have assigned a motion path to a video, you can get the video to rotate along the path automatically.

Filling the background

On = if the video does not fully fill the screen, the background will be color filled. The background color can be selected under fill color.
Off = background is not filled and the previous object is further visible under the video. If you want to achieve a picture-in-picture effect, enable this option.
Automatic = the program automatically sets On for images/videos/Flexi-Collages in the first track. If you move an object to the second track, or lower, it is set to off. This means that you can create image-in-image effects more quickly. If you prefer a fixed value, you can set this yourself with the options on and off.
