Positioning the background source

A mix background layer with a source assigned can be moved using the same principles as the layer position. Moving the source within the mix background layer will show different parts of the image depending on the position. This can create the illusion of animation or allow for the switching of the background image without needing to change the source.

Methods to position a layer

There are three main methods to position a layer in the scene. All three methods can be used to fine tune the position of the layer within the scene.

Note: Layers can be partially or fully outside the active area of the screen destination. The parts outside the active area will not be visible.

• Dragging and dropping the layer in the desired location within the scene.

• Modifying the layers absolute H Position and V Position with one of the following methods in the right panel:

  • Using the slider: drag the white ball over the slider until the desired amount is reached.
  • Entering a value: enter any desired value in the input field.
  • Using the + and - buttons: click on the + to increase the value with one point and on the - to decrease the value with one point.

  

• Aligning the layer to another selected layer with the bottom panel. For more information, see the following procedure.

How to align using the bottom panel

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 aligned.

   

   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. Click on the desired alignments from the bottom panel.

   

   Note: Some options are only available when three or more layers are selected.

   

5. Click the save icon () in the header.
