• - Preview fade ins/outs - turning on/off displaying mixer transitions, wipe transitions and clipping in the editor.
• - Display safe area quidelines - turning on/off displaying a “safe zone” frame for captions.
• - Go to previous key point - moving the cursor in the area 5 to the previous key frame.
• - Go to next key point - moving the cursor in the area 5 to the next key frame.
• - Insert key point - adding a key frame to the current graphic object, displaying it as a red point on the object timeline in the area 4 and in its properties.
• - Масштаб - setting the scale of the composition visual editing window. Added in 2.4.29 version.
• - Zoom In/Out with Mouse - scale control with a mouse. When the button is active, the cursor defines the scaling point, left click zooms in, and left click + Shift zooms out. Added in 2.4.29 version.

1. The point of appeing on the screen, set by the Show parameter.
2. Key frame object animations
3. The cursor position is in the animation point - the point is highlighted red.
4. The point of object disappearing, set by the Hide parameter.

• BG Type - backing type.
  • Opaque - a non-transparent backing used with a full screen graphic composition: for example, when creating a multiscreen composition for displaying SL NEO server input and output signals.
  • Transparent - a transparent backing (no backing) used when creating captions and compositions with transparency.
  • Auto (default value) - Transparent.
• Duration - general duration of a graphic composition. The default value is –:–:–:– , meaning the composition has infinite duration. To return the default value, scroll down the mouse wheel or press the down arrow key.
• Lead Out - the parameter defines the time needed for a composition with infinite duration to implement disappearing effects to its objects. For example, a composition has mixing disappearing effects, with 20 frames duration for all objects. Pressing Stop Seq or GoTo in the playlist of graphic events would make an “infinite” composition end correctly, with final effects, if you set the Lead Out value to 20 frames.
• Wipes - adding static images (BW transition templates) into the composition.
• Data Feeds - adding RSS-data sources for further parametrization of the composition, in the format http://server_ip:port/RSS_name. Starting from version 2.0.148, the Data Feeds field can contain variables. For now there is one variable $(storage), containing the address of the server with a media base, from which the composition was loaded. For instance, if the composition must always request an RSS-feed with the Feed_1.rss name at the same server that plays the composition, write $(storage)/rss/Feed_1.rss in the feed URL. This function provides backup when using the built-in RSS generator. Starting from version 2.4.56 work by the HTTPS protocol is supported.
