Automation window
The Automation window shows automation options.
background
The background is the backmost part of a graphic. It is a full-
screen rectangle located behind the last layer, furthest from the
viewer.
The background can be turned on and off. When off, it is
transparent — live video “shows through” the background when
you use a keyer.
When the background is on, the background shader determines its
color. Like all Deko500 shaders, the background can be a solid
color, a ramp or a texture.
bitmap
A bitmap is a set of numerical values specifying the colors of the
pixels in a graphic image.
bitwise operator
A bitwise operator is a symbol (
<<, >>, ~, &,
|
, ^
) that
performs an operation on an integer value based on bit position.
C1 continuity
C1 continuity is a smoothness setting that maintains a straight line
between two connected Bezier curves. If you move one control
point, the control point on the other side of the shared point will
move in concert to maintain the linear connection.
C2 continuity
C2 continuity produces the smoothest continuity between two
connected Bezier curves. This setting maintains a straight line
between the curves, as well as equal distance from control point to
the shared point for each curve. If you move one control point, the
other one will move in concert to maintain the equidistant, linear
connection.
character set
A character set is a set of 256 characters in a TrueType or
Postscript font. A font may contain more than 256 characters, but
Windows NT can access only 256 at a time. By choosing a
character set, you are choosing which 256 characters you wish to
use.
Not all character sets are supported by every font. See Using an
International Character Set.
choice parameter
A choice parameter specifies one item from a list of possible
choices. For example, both parameters of the justify command are
choice parameters:
