The Information Zone

The information zone on the bottom left of the screen shows dynamic information based on the
element on which the mouse is located. If you need to get information on a specific item, simple
hover your mouse on top of it and read the information here.

The Cell Parameter Panel

The cell parameter panel allows editing the parameters related to the cell currently
selected for edition. There is only one such cell at the time and it can be recognized
through the following icon overlaid on top of the visual's snapshot:
As explained in detail in the 'Concept' section, the panel allows modifying the playback and mixing
characteristics of each cell. It is also used to set up the default effect parameters values that will
be restored each time the cell is re-triggered.

The Preferences Dialog

The preferences dialog sets various settings regulating the way the program works. The settings
are sorted in four categories, each of them accessible through a tab in the dialog:

General:

Background Visual:
Specifies the file to be used
as background clip. This file
will be played/shown when
no cell is playing on either
deck or when the 'Fade to
Black'
controller is pushed. Either
enter the full path of the file
or use the select button to
open a file browser. This file

background
restored when you start the
application,
performance file or reset the
data
menu. You can override the value set here either by selecting the Edit>Clear Background
menu or by drag and dropping a clip directly on the master preview window.
Automation Beat Count: Selects the number of beats that the automation
waits before triggering a new visual. See 'Concepts/Deck Playback controls'
Slide Show Time: NuVJ allows you to drag and drop folders on a cell. In that case, all
movies/images/flashes located in that folder (and recursively) will be played one after
the other in a slide show fashion. The 'slide show time' parameter sets how much time
images will be displayed (in seconds) before displaying to the next visual in the
hierarchy.
Transition 2 & Transition 3: The controller has a switch setting that allows choosing
between 3 transitions on the fly. The first transition will always be the default transition
(Exponential Transparency) but the two others are configurable. These two lists allow to
select which transition you would like to see associated with settings '2' & '3' of the
transition switch.
