Post
It contains the Stage Tree Area that shows a representation of all animated elements in the scene.
To edit the animation keyframe:
Click the Anim plugin on the Post container in the scene tree.
It is possible to see a representation of the animation on the Stage (top menu).
To change the size of the time range, place the mouse pointer over the bottom edges of the stage. The mouse pointer becomes a two-sided arrow. Drag to resize.
When the Collection has two or more posts, automatic cycling is enabled. Its default value is 5 seconds.
Keep in mind
The number of characters supported is up to 280 characters but it has a 3-line space, so posts that have more than "3 enters" will not be completely displayed.
Emojis: Keep in mind the social TV plugin TextHighlight is required to support emojis. For more information, contact the Vizrt support team.
