Part 2: DeltaGUI Software > User Interface

This shows the various user-created layers containing the media. Note that layers higher up the screen obscure those below them (Layer 1 in this example would obscure Layer 7 after the transparent fade and where there is active content on Layer 7).

You can edit properties on a resource by double clicking it, or right click and select Properties from the menu.

Hovering the mouse over the resource will give further information on it:

A resource position and length on the timeline can be altered by dragging it in the middle or either end.

If, by dragging, one resource overlaps another in its layer, the left-most resource will be ‘bumped’ down within the layer. By applying render order to visual media of a kind, in the same layer, more control can be given to their positioning. This places them into sublayers (see also: Timeline Summary):

Delta can have up to 250 layers on a timeline. These are sequentially numbered, so inserting or removing a layer will adjust other numbers. These number references can be used in show programming (Sequences). To preserve numbering you can assign groups of media (e.g. a movie with its audio tracks) to layer groups (e.g.: layers 1-10, 100-110, 200-210).
