Media-Store Attributes
Attributes are applied to the image or animation directly,
regardless of the channels that the image or animation
are loaded in. If you adjust the attributes of the still in
one channel, these settings are applied to that image or
animation in all other channels that the same image or
animation is loaded into.
Understanding the Attributes Menu
When you select a still or animation, the menu system
displays a number of attributes that allow you to adjust
how a the image or animation appears. The options that
are available depend on the type of Media-Store image
or animation that is selected.
