  • Control Objects.

  • Disp_Data: DataReader and DataArray plugins.

Post

It contains the Stage Tree Area that shows a representation of all animated elements in the scene.

  • It contains the data available to display 3 types of posts:

    • Without image

    • With image

    • With video

  • Each type of post contains the Stage Area that shows a representation of all animated elements in the scene.

  • 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.

By unfolding the POST in the tree, you will find additional plugins that will allow you to apply your own look and feel, as follows:
