Adding a source

To add a source to your scene, firstly select the scene you would like to add the source, then click the icon within the Sources window.

Within the Sources drop-down, select or search for the source type you would like to add, then click Add Source.

Depending on the source selected, you will now be directed through different properties of the source, including assigning a name for your source. It is highly recommended that a friendly name is given for any sources added.

Once added, you can resize and position by selecting the source through the Preview window. It is also possible to tune position, rotation, size and crop sources. To achieve this, select the source, then select the Transform button from the toolbar and clicking Edit Transform.

The above steps should be repeated when building multiple sources into a scene. Sources will work on a layer methodology. The source at the top of the Sources box will be the layer on-top, while the source at the bottom of the list will be the layer at the back.

Deleting a source

To delete a source within a scene, select the source you would like to delete, then press the icon or hit the Delete key.

You will now get a prompt to confirm deletion of source, click Yes to delete.
