Creating Color Tiles and Lines
Color tiles can be rectangles of any size and shape.
Colored lines are simply thin rectangles. You can create horizontal and vertical lines,
but not diagonal ones.
When you place a color tile on the screen, it can overlap other tiles. If the other tile is
a color tile, the new tile obscures the previous one wherever they overlap. However,
if the other tile is a moving video, the color tile does not cover any portion of the
moving video.
Once you create a color tile you can use
BG COLOR
to change its fill color.
Tiles cannot have borders.
Creating Moving Video Tiles
A tile can contain video originating from any of the MXProDV input sources.
The tile can be a rectangle of any size. MXProDV scales the incoming video to fit
within the tile, it does not crop the image.
Having more than one moving video source in a composition (such as a moving
video background and one or more moving video tiles) normally reduces the overall
frame rate, incrementally. That is, the more moving video you have on the screen,
the choppier each one looks during playback.
When placing multiple moving video tiles on the screen, it is normally best if they
do not overlap one another. When overlapping occurs, video in the common area
flashes.
Creating Still Image Tiles
Still image tiles can contain a frozen image from any of the input sources.
When moving
video tiles overlap
on the screen, the
common area
flashes.
