Asset Parameters

An asset placed in a scene (or in a sequence) exposes a number of parameters which can be manipulated in the properties panel on the right of the editor panel when it is selected. These parameters include:
  • position - vector - the peg's current position relative to the parent (or canvas, for parentless objects); applies only to visual assets
  • rotation - angle - the object's current rotation around its peg; applies only to visual assets
  • scale - scalar - the object's current scale; applies only to visual assets
  • fade - scalar - a perceptual fade; corresponds to transparency for visual assets and attenuation for audio assets
  • amplification - scalar - amplification in dB for audio assets
Additionally, assets with "poses" expose additional scalar parameters, one per pose (more will be said about poses later). All parameters are animatable.
