Overview
The Scene Control Panels tool allows the user to access a control panel created in a PRIME Scene that has been imported into the Click Effects Graphics Editor. This allows for manipulation of the graphic’s content without having to remove it from program.
This process begins in PRIME when a user creates a scene and includes controls in the scene’s control panel. These controls are linked to some aspect of the scene, such as Play or Stop a Clip object, or adjust the transparency of an object. When this scene is imported into the Click Effects Graphics Editor, the graphic displays whatever content is visible from the scene just like a normal template.
Scene Control
- To view the Scene Control Panels window, choose the View menu from the Main window of Click Effects PRIME.
- Select Scene Control Panels and this opens the Scene Control Panels window. Without a proper graphic in Program, the window will be empty.
- As soon as the user places a graphic into Program that has a control panel, the Scene Control Panels window populates with the thumbnail of the graphic button and the control panel for that graphic.
The following example panel has two button controls, a slider control and a radio-button control.
For this graphic, which contains a video clip, the Stop and Play buttons Start or Stop the clip. Depending on the configuration of the Scene, the clip may not start when the graphic goes to Program and would need to be played when appropriate.
The Slider control affects the opacity of the clip, in this case from 0 to 100 and the Radio-button also has Play/Stop commands and includes a Pause option.
If more than one graphic with a control panel is in Program, then the left side of the Scene Control Panels window displays a list of buttons. Clicking a button in that list displays the related control pane
