Scene

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 - You can customize the color of the scene using the background option. Select between the color space RGB, HSV or HSL. Use the sliders or input fields to adjust the values to your desired color. 
    Note!
    If the Scene does not contain any scene layer, the Scene will not be "rendered" (updated).
  • Render option
    • Disable render - Disables render of the scene, including all scene layers, operators and targets.
  • 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 by a SPACE char.
