About editing a layer

Event Master Toolset allows for a wide variety of modifications on a layer. These modifications do not affect the source nor other layers. Each modification is layered on top of the source to create a desired outcome.

To save time, layer edits can be saved under a user key. For more information, see “User keys”.

How to edit

1. Click on the desired destination from the top panel or desired screen destination group from the bottom panel.

2. Is the layer locked ()?

   • If yes, click the unlock icon () in the bottom panel and go to next step.
   • If no, go to next step.
   

   Note: If the layer is a split layer that is transitioned to program, then the layer must either be removed from program or program must be unlocked before it can be edited in preview.

3. Select all the layers that must be edited the same way.

   

   Tip: Hold CTRL or ⌘ to select multiple entries at once. If this does not work, enable the keyboard shortcuts in the settings. For more information, see “Event Master Toolset options”.

4. Are the desired changes saved in a user key?

   • If yes, select the desired user key in All User key of the right panel and click Apply Selected. No further actions needed.
   • If no, go to next step.

5. Select the desired layer type in Adjust Layer of the right panel.

   

   Tip: Default is PIP with matte color disabled.

   

6. Edit the desired parameters of the layer using one or more of the following menus:

   • Using the layer settings ().
   • Using the layer window menu ().
   • Using the layer effects menu ().
