3D Impressions Playlist Editor |
|
The Playlist editor allows you to create playback sequences of your CyberFlair 3D Impressions documents.
You do this by inserting references to your documents and specifying a duration of time that each is played.
During playback, you can also manually change which document is to be played by using the computer's mouse or pointing device.
Please note that Playlist files can only be played using a Professional Edition of CyberFlair 3D Impressions.

The use of this tool is relatively straightforward.
Using the 'File' menu, you can open and save your Playlist document files.
To change the content of the Playlist, simply use the controls at the top of the window or use the 'Edit' menu.

Lets you insert another reference to one of your CyberFlair 3D Impressions document files into the playlist.
You may also choose to include the same document more than once, such as for creating sub-loops or as holding scene between topics that perhaps requires a mouse click to continue.
Please note the importance of these items being 'references' to other documents, as this can have an impact on moving or renaming them at a later date.
