Importing Templates
T-SBADV-010-012
There are several ways you can import templates in your project. You can insert a panel template between two existing panels in the Thumbnails view. You can import a template's layers into a panel by dragging it into the Stage, Camera, Thumbnails or Timeline view.
- In the Thumbnails view, select the panel in which you want to insert the template.
- In the Library view, select the template you want to insert.
- Drag the selected template to the Stage or Camera view.
- To insert it between two specific layers, drop it between those layers in the Layer panel of the Stage or Camera view.
- If you want to insert it over all the other layers, you can drop it directly into the Stage or Camera view.
- In the Library view, select the template you want to import.
- Drag the selected template into the Timeline view, over the panel in which you want it to be inserted.
The template's layers are added to that panel's layers.
- In the Library view, select the template you want to import.
- Drag and drop the selected template into the Thumbnails view, between the two panels where you want it to be inserted.
The panel in the template is added to the storyboard, inserted between the two other panels.
- If you are inserting the template between two scenes, you are able to choose whether the panel will beattached to the previous scene or the next scene, or whether it will be inserted into its own scene. This will depend on how close to either scene or to the gap between them you drop the template. As you move the panel around in the gap, a red line will indicate where the panel will end up.
- You can also drop a template over a panel's thumbnail to add its layers to that panel.
- In the Library view, select a sound clip template.
- Drag the selected template into the Timeline view, onto the audio track and at the exact frame where you want the sound clip to be cued.
