This tab contains all attributes related to the currently selected component. If no component is selected in the Workbench, this tab won't display anything.
Title: Used to change the name of a component. You can also hide a component by unchecking the “Visible” checkbox. This may become useful in complex compositons but also allows to hide a component by default, because this setting is taken over by just:live and just:play and can be changed in the Inspector of the two applications.
Transform: Generic attributes like position, size and rotation.
Appearance: Margin “enlarges” the drawing area of a component. This may be useful if a component would need more space than its boundaries allow.
Timing: Each component has an in-point and an out-point (i.e. “Start” and “End”). The in- and out-point define the life span of a component and can also be used to reduce the rendering overhead because once the out-point has been reached, the component is taken out of the rendering pipeline. To define the in/out-point, drag the start/end of the grey bar in the timeline or use the Inspector to set the duration of a component.
Attributes: These are component specific attributes, they vary for every component. In this example these are the attributes of a simple text component.
