Scenes are a type of input that contains other Inputs. A scene is the base building block for creating compositions with several scene layers.

Thus, an empty scene does not have any inputs and will only consist of a colored background (default black).

All Composer projects will consist of at least one scene. This is because a scene is required for any compositing or input. Scenes can also be nested and include other scenes.

You can add a new scene by clicking the button "Add scene." The number of scenes a project can consist of is unlimited.

The content of a scene will be shown in the scene view window.

Scenes have the following properties:

• Description - optional free text description.
• Composition size
  • Resolution - Dropdown, select a Custom or predefined resolution
  • Width - Scene width in pixels. The default value is 1280 but can be changed in the Settings dialogue. Max value is 7680. 
  • Height - Scene weight in pixels. The default value is 720 but can be changed in the Settings dialogue. Max value is 7680.
    
• Background colors and alpha  (RGB and Alpha values used when initializing the scene)
• Render option
  • Disable render - Disables render of the scene, including all scene layers, operators and targets.
• Optional TAGS (space separated)
  • TAGS - Add a "tag"  that can be used in the input search/filter function. It is possible to add several tags by separating them by a SPACE char.
