Main O&A Window

The Main Window of the Objects and Animation Editor is shown below.

The various elements of the window are identified.

There are two tabs for controlling actions in the Editor, “Properties” and “Animation”.

Click on the Grid Icon to apply the Grid

Click on the down arrow to show the Grid Options

Select the colours of the Minor and Major Grid Lines

Select “In Pixels” or in number of divisions per image

There are 10 minor divisions between Major Grid Lines in the X and Y directions

Select “Snap to Grid” on or off

Select “offset” in X and Y directions

In Pixels Mode the size and AR of the grids are set by entering a fixed pixel dimension

The Grid is therefore made up of squares

With “In Pixels” turned off the size and Aspect Ratio of the grid is determined by the numbers set

In the example above the Grid has been “Centred” by setting a 20×20 Grid

With “Snap To Grid” ticked the Image/Object will snap to a Major or Minor Grid Line in either direction if dragged close enough

Add a Video, Mask, Frame, Button, Text, Rectangle or Image Object
