Note that in Channel Composer, one and the same Object can be used in different Templates and its
properties can have different values per Template.
6.16 Modifying an Object's properties
There are several ways to edit an Object's properties:
Object window
To open an Object's properties window: click the Object on the
Stage, in
the
Objects window or on the Template Timeline.
(If the
Object window is not visible, enable the window: toolbar > View >
Windows > Object).
Or double-click the Object in the Objects window, on the Template
Timeline or Stage.
Stage
Objects can also be transformed on the Stage. Select the Object and
drag the handles to modify the Object.
6.17 Transform gizmo
You can transform Objects (position, scale, rotation) either in the Object window, or on the Stage using the
transform gizmo. Note that how the handles work depends on if the gizmo is in 2D or 3D mode.
Scale: move the cursor over the inside of the Object handlers until this cursor appears.
Then drag to scale the object.
Rotate: move the cursor over the Object handlers until this cursor appears. Then drag to
rotate the Object around the Z-axis.
Free rotate or arc ball rotate (3D only): move the cursor over the center of the Object’s
movement axes to activate this cursor and rotate the Object around its X, Y and Z-axes.
Move the Object on the Z-axis (3D): move the cursor over the movement axes’ arrow head
to activate.
Grab the Object to move on the Stage.
