The Main View Window
The Main View Window is a preview of what the overlay will look like when
recorded by the Video VBOX LITE once the scene file has been exported to your
Video VBOX LITE. What we refer to as a ‘Scene’ is the collection of gauges,
images, text, etc. (elements) which make up the whole overlay.
You can zoom in on the Scene using the zoom slider at the bottom left of the
Main View Window or use the mouse scroll wheel. It is possible to zoom in on
the Scene up to 400% magnification; this allows the user to accurately place
elements in the Main View.
To zoom in on an Element left click on it to highlight it and either use the mouse
scroll wheel or the zoom slider to zoom in. Once you are zoomed you can move around the Main view using the side
and bottom scrollbars, alternatively you can grab and scroll the screen allowing movement around the zoomed in
view.
The Browser Window
Three tabs are available in the browser window; Scenes, Elements, and
Layers. These tabs contain thumbnail previews of the Scenes and Elements
that have been created and saved for use on the Video VBOX LITE.
The user can choose to use an existing Scene by double clicking on the
required thumbnail or create a completely new one from the ‘File’ menu
and adding Elements to a blank template.
Scenes and elements are categorised using a theme e.g. Default, Retro,
Classic etc, and the dropdown list presents the user with a list of currently
defined themes.
The order the elements are displayed in the scene is controlled from the
Layers tab. Elements can also be grouped allowing them to be moved as
one element.
The Properties Window
Depending on which browser tab is selected the properties window will display either:
Scene properties: This window shows the properties for the Scene
currently displayed in the Main View Window.
Element properties: This window shows the properties for the
currently selected Element in the Main View Window. Depending on
the type of Element selected will determine the properties available for
modification.
