Here you can make settings for the behavior and properties of picture objects.
These settings refer to creating new picture objects, i.e. when pictures are dragged from the Media Pool into the timeline. The Display time is the period of full opacity or brightness.
Alternatively, these values can also be entered by right-clicking a picture object and selecting Ramp - Set durations as default.
Place a checkmark next to the control tracks new picture objects are to be provided with. See also Visual effects.
Choose the information to be displayed in the picture object info line:
Don't show duration / display time ...no time information is displayed.
Show duration ...shows the complete object duration.
Show display time ...shows the display time, i.e. the time when the fade-in is complete to the beginning of the fade-out.
Crossfade ...defines the type of crossfade when moving to objects on top of each other:
Standard crossfade ...fades out the first object while simultaneously fading in the next object.
Unilateral crossfade ...fades in the second object while maintaining full opacity or brightness of the first object. The second object covers up the first object, so to say. This setting is usually the correct choice for tracks with alpha control. However, there are also some exceptions, e.g. a crossover between pictures with different aspect ratios.
