Flexi-collage properties

In the properties window there are various Flexi-Collage options which are described in further detail below.

Flexi-Collage

Title - here you can enter the title for the Flexi-Collage object. This serves as a better overview of larger projects.

Cutting content - the section of the Flexi-Collage which goes out of the visible view in the Layout designer is cut off.

Fading in or . . . Fading out - here you can set your preferred fade-in or ... fade-out. With the customizing switch, you can configure the fade-ins and... fade-outs. You will also get a preview of all the fade-ins and fade-outs.

Filling the background

On = background is filled in with color when the collage is made smaller.

Off = background is not filled and the previous item “shines through”.

Automatic  = the program is automatically set to on with regard to objects (image, video, Flexi-Collage) 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.

Aspect ration - Images have an aspect ratio, which is composed of height and width of the image. If a Flexi-Collage you have created differs from the selected aspect ratio of the project is different, you can decide here how the Flexi-Collage is to be displayed.

Retain: The Flexi-Collage gets edges when playing.

Crop: From the edge of the Flexi-Collage parts are “cut off” until the Flexi-Collage fits into the correct aspect ratio, without this, borders result.

Distort: The Flexi-Collage is inserted into the aspect ratio of the project, where a distortion of the image takes place.

Orientation - Determines the position of the collage on the screen.

Rotation in the direction of movement - if you have assigned a motion path to a collage, you can get the collage to automatically rotate along the path.

Transparency

The animated transparency is described in the chapter "animated transparency”.
