General tab

Scene name

Name for the scene that will show up in the scene view at the bottom.

Playback options

The duration of a scene (display time) can be specified in 2 different ways:

1. Adjust time to longest object

This is the default setting, and the one you will probably use the most.

With this setting, the Scene display time will be calculated so that all the objects on the scene can be displayed with their specified times.

The scene will end after the last displayed objects end time.

2. Fixed time

With this setting, you select how long the scene will be.

Any object on the scene that is specified to be displayed after this time will not be displayed at all. The scene will “cut” the display of all objects when the time is up, or if objects end before the scene ends show transparent / black.

Scheduling

If the Scene is scheduled, the schedule will be displayed here as a text. If you want to change the schedule, press the Setup button.

Transitions

Small icons represents the in- and out transitions that is applied to this scene, along with transition timing and options to add or delete the transitions.

External scenes tab

Import scene from file

Imported scenes will show up just as any other scene in the DISE movie, but the difference is that the actual scene resides in another file.

Import scene(s) from content pool

By defining a content pool, scenes can be created dynamically with the files in the pool.

Save changes back to external file

Any changes you make once the scenes are imported, will be saved back into the external files. Check the box to activate this function.
