Rectangle input

Text and Shape inputs/Rectangle

The simplest input in Composer is the Rectangle input. The rectangle input can be useful when covering areas or adding additive/subtractive alpha on layers.

  • Configuration
    • Width - Rectangle width in pixels. 
    • Height - Scene weight in pixels.
  • Background  - You can customize the color of the rectangle using the background option. Select between the color spaces RGB, HSV, or HSL. Use the sliders or input fields to adjust the values to your desired color, or use the color picker to select a color from the Scene view window.
  • Render Options - These options, together with Render Tuning (see Performance and Options), help optimize performance by letting Composer automatically decide whether the input should be rendered.
    When your project’s Render Tuning option is active, Composer manages each input’s rendering automatically for best performance.
    These options allow you to override that behavior and manually decide if this input should be rendered or excluded from the scene.
    Render Tuning vs Render Options
    • Render Tuning works at the project level (see Performance and Options), automatically managing which inputs are rendered across all Scenes for optimal performance.
    • Render Options work at the input level, letting you manually override or fine-tune how a specific input behaves within Composer’s automatic rendering process.

    • Invisible (do not render in scene) - The input will not produce any visible output in the scene, regardless of whether Render Tuning is enabled at the project level.

    • Do not render input
      • Let Composer decide (default) - Composer automatically decides whether the input should be rendered, based on the active Scene, and if Render Tuning is enabled.
      • Manual configuration - Allows you to manually control rendering behavior using the Render switch (see below).
    • Render -  A toggle switch is available only when Manual configuration is selected.
  • Optional TAGS 
    • TAGS - Add a "tag"  that can be used in the input search/filter function. It is possible to add several tags by separating them with a SPACE character.
