Compose Window

---

General

In Scene Composition mode, this is an enlarged Preview window that serves both as a composition canvas and as an instant editing review screen. Almost identical to the look of Preview Window, Compose Window has a set of video buttons (Record, Play/Pause, Previous Frame and Next Frame), a Frame (slider) Track and a Frame Display lined along the top and the bottom sides of its window frame. One noticeable difference from the Preview though is the Record button in the place of the "pause" button. And note that the Play button is now a dual mode Play/Pause button. Except the Record button, Compose's video buttons function exactly the same as those on Preview Window. As for the Frame Track and the Frame Display window, in addiction to the navigation purpose, they now also serve for carrying out SC specific tasks (object duration and scene length control).

Stacked on top of the Compose window is the Scene Asset Bin where various type of scene objects (blloon, cast, prop, SFX and user) are stored. Note that the "Scene" Asset Bin is contextually changed from "Timeline" Asset Bin as we switch from TE to SC mode. This Bin can be tucked into Compose window for better screen accessibility. Simply click on the little square on top of the tab to tuck it away. Another click will bring the Bin back into view.
