Movie window
The Movie window is where you do all the work of setting up your Electrifier movie--importing, arranging, and scheduling actors, configuring effects and actions, and previewing your work. The movie window offers three different ways of looking at your creation so you can match your view of your document to your task.
- Layout view
- The Layout pane displays an interactive paste-up view of your document. In the Layout view, you can move, rotate, and skew actors, or even put them in 3-D perspective, with Electrifier Pro's intuitive transformation tools. You can also use the Inspector and Modifier palettes to set an actor's attributes precisely, or apply effects and actions.
- Preview view
- The Preview pane shows you how your movie will be viewed by the rest of the world. It offers an instant preview of your current settings without having to export your movie so you can experiment with new options without penalties.
- Structure view
- The Structure pane displays a hierarchical view of your document so that you can manage large and complex multimedia documents quickly and efficiently. The Structure pane displays the actor hierarchy using a familiar indented list format that makes it easy to view and work with groups of actors, even when they are hidden from view.
The Structure view also includes a timeline view of Electrifier's effects-based animation structure, for users who are familiar with timeline-based animation.
