DIRECTOR USER MANUAL
GENERAL OPERATION
Mbox Director Window
The Mbox Director main window is divided into several sections which are used to add media content to layers,
configure parameters, and create "scenes" for playback. The primary sections are shown below:
Icons, Menus, and Hot-Keys (Keyboard Shortcuts)
Most operations can be done using the cursor in the main window. For example, click on tabs and icons, move
sliders, and click arrow buttons to increment/decrement data values.
Many operations can also be done using the drop-down menu and/or hot-key
combinations. For example, playback can be toggled by pressing the play
button [
] in the timeline, by selecting
Play
from the
Playback
menu, by
pressing the ’spacebar’ on the keyboard, or by pressing [
P] on the keyboard.
Note that all hot-key equivalents are noted beside the menu selection, where
applicable.
