If you are unsure of what version you are currently running, open your Composer and go to File -> About and your current version will be listed.

  2. Click on the 'Movie' tab in the top menu
  3. Click on the 'Edit variables' button
  4. Add a new variable
  5. Enter a name, the variable type and a value if you want a standard value for the template field
  6. Check the 'Export as template field' box
  7. Click on the 'OK' button to create your variable
  8. Choose the text object and drag and drop it to the scene to add it
  9. Right click on the text object on the scene and choose 'Connection property' and then 'Text/filename'
  10. Choose the variable that you previously created, from the drop down menu
  11. Click on the 'OK' button
  12. The variable is now connected to the text object. If you chose a value for the variable your text object should display that value. If you did not choose a value, the text object will not display anything until you upload it to the portal and enter a text from there.
  13. When you are done with your disemovie, save it.


Uploading a template
