6 Pinnacle Studio for iPad
Other Projects Page functions
At the top right of the Projects Page are two icons that control global functions.
Help
Tapping the help icon opens this Guide.
Global settings
The neighboring gear icon opens the Global Settings panel, with several
options that will apply from now on when you are editing any of your
Pinnacle Studio for iPad projects, not just the one you are currently
working on.
Here you can choose the durations assigned by default
to photos, Titles, and Transitions when they are first
added to a project (since these assets have no
predetermined length). On installation the default
durations are four seconds for both photos and Titles,
and one second for Transitions.
Add Transitions automatically: If you would like
Pinnacle Studio for iPad to automatically insert dissolve
Transitions between your photos or video segments as
you add them to the Movie Editor, turn on the
Automatic Transitions setting. This is handy when you
want to quickly throw together a slideshow or highlight reel.
Updating the Library: If you have added video, music, or photos to your iPad,
you can make them accessible to the Library by allowing it to “rebuild.” Open the
Global Settings panel using the gear icon as just described, then tap Rebuild
Media Library at the bottom of the panel. Rebuilding may take up to several
minutes if there is a wealth of new material.
Automatic checks for new media are performed when certain events occur, such
as re-opening the app. You will be invited to approve a Library rebuild if any
uncatalogued media are found. The manual Rebuild Media Library operation is
provided so that you can update the Library at other times if required.
