4.2 User Interface: Toolbar (Composition Builder v.5.0)

  • Text: Different text components, static or dynamic.

  • Shapes: Basic shapes.

  • Image: Select from different types of image components.

  • Date/Time: Used to place clock or date components into the Workbench.

  • Extras: Contains uncategorized components.

  • Align and Distribute: Allows you to align and distribute selected components. When selecting multiple elements, it is possible to align or distribute these elements. Pressing the “Shift” key enforces anchoring to the first selected element.

  • Backward: Moves the selected component one step into the background.

  • Forward: Moves the selected component one step into the foreground.

  • Workbench Size: Allows to define the scaling which is used to show the Workbench.

  • Stop Frame: One or several stop frames can be set to temporarily pause a composition. Stop frames are interpreted differently in just:play and just:live. In just:play, the “Hold”-duration of a stop frame is proportional to the length of the duration, which is set in the inspector of just:play. In just:live, a trigger has to be received by the composition to continue. Otherwise, it will be held infinitely (which may be useful for a corner logo graphic, for example).

  • Poster Frame: Sets the currently visible workbench frame as the poster frame of the composition (i.e. thumbnail).

  • Preview: Watch a real-time rendered preview of your composition.

Additional information about each component can be found in the Component Reference.
