Pearl-2 User Guide About the custom layout editor
The main layout area has the same frame size and aspect ratio as the encoding setting of the channel. As you
add items to the layout, they appear in the layout editing area. The currently selected item is presented in full
color. Unselected items appear transparent.
To change the settings for an item, click an item in the item list that appears below the layout editing area. The
settings for that item appears.
Move and size items in the layout editing area
To position the items in the layout editing area, you can use the mouse to click and drag an item in to
position, or you can type values into the fields along the side and bottom of the layout area and manually
position the selected item. You can enter values as a percentage of the full layout area (for example, enter 4%)
or in pixels (for example, enter 16px).
You can resize items by clicking and dragging the red and white handles at the corners of an item or by
entering values into the fields along the side and bottom of the layout area. To maintain the aspect ratio when
resizing an item, make sure you've checked the Keep aspect ratio when scaling box for that item.
