Picture Properties

In the Media Pool, click on category Pictures. When list view is active (click if applicable) the line displayed provides a lot of information about the corresponding file. The actual properties dialog can be opened by right-clicking the picture file and selecting Properties.

File

The information refers to the path of the image file on the harddisk. Below it you can select the properties that are to take effect on all picture objects in the timeline linked up with it.

Alpha Channel

...these functions are not available in Wings RX.

File Update

Here you can have a picture file checked for modifications even during a presentation. This is only appropriate for special applications where dynamically modified picture contents need to be considered during the presentation. See Checking picture files during a presentation.

Function File update causes a certain overhead and should only be activated when absolutely necessary. For external modification of picture files Wings Vioso RX offers different ways to update display data. See External editing of media files. Moreover, all picture files are usually checked when a project is opened and the display data are updated automatically.

Display data for presentation

Here you can enable the following options used for presentations with the render displays:

Disable display data ...when this option is enabled original images are used instead of the customary display data.
Compressed display data ...in this case display data are compressed which saves about half the data volume and accelerates loading but results in a slight quality loss. Since decompression is done by the graphics card it requires some performance.
Display data with chroma subsampling ...as above but the data volume is reduced by reducing color resolution.

Pool / Timeline

You can define a custom thumbnail size which only takes effect on the display in the Media Pool and in the timeline. Place a check mark next to Custom thumbnail size and enter the required size in pixels.
Next to Transparency background you can enter the brightness of the checkerboard pattern for the transparent image areas in order for opaque contents to be well visible.
