8.12.10.2 Adding a source
About adding sources
Sources can be added to empty layers or overwrite already existing layers. If no layer is present, then Event Master Toolset will automatically use the first available layer with the source. In case of split layers, the ‘B’ layer comes before the ‘A’ layer.
Wide screen output layer prerequisites
Layers must be added from the screen layer bar before sources can be added. For more information, see “Adding a layer”.
How to add
- Click on the desired destination from the top panel or desired screen destination group from the bottom panel.
Is the scene or layer locked (
)?- If yes, click the unlock icon (
) in the bottom left of the scene or in the bottom panel (reference 34) and go to next step. - If no, go to next step.
Note: If the layer is a split layer that is transitioned to program, then the layer must either be removed from program or program must be unlocked before it can be edited in preview.
