1. Screen
Add Page
Clicking the Plus Button duplicates the template and provides it as a additional page for the purpose of further editings.
Remove Added Page
Once you have added a further page, the program enables the Minus Button for the purpose of removing it again if needed.
Transition
Using this feature allows you to choose an Animation that will be shown as a transition to the next screen.
To do this, open the drop-down menu and select one of the provided menu items.
Orientation
Using the selection field Orientation
allows you to specify whether you edit
the template for a horizontal or for vertical representation.
The edits you have done in the other alignment will be retained.
Duration
In the input field Duration you can determine how long the screen should be played. When you touch the input field with the mouse pointer, two opposite arrows appear, which you can use to count up or down the preset time.
Alternatively, after clicking in the field, enter an exact numerical value.
Grid
The correct alignment and arrangement of images and text elements is an important aspect in the design of an attractive screen. Therefore, you can display a help grid in the Preview Area.
To do this, click on the button on which an Eye is shown. By clicking on the button with the Magnet Symbol, the auxiliary grid is given a magnetic property.
The size of the boxes of the grid can be defined by entering a numerical value in the input field.
By clicking on the small colour patch you open a colour palette from which you can choose the colour of the grid. You can also choose between the options → top left -center - Golden section - Fibonacci.
Fibonacci and Golden Section
These two arrangements are generally perceived as beautiful and harmonious, and orientation towards them makes it easier to design the image or screen.
Screen Representation
When you open a screen in the Editor for editing, all media, text fields, etc. used are listed as an item in the item list. Once you click an element in this list, the respective editing options available for editing are activated in the preview area as well as in the right column of the program window.
