UM:Application Preferences Control Panel
The Control Panel tab configures global settings used as defaults for various control panel parameters.
Trackball Orientation
See : Colour Preferences
Modifier Timeout
Default : |
3 seconds |
This specifies how long a modifier key will stay active ("locked") before timing out when no other key is pressed.
The modifier keys affected by this setting are :
| • | Ctrl |
| • | Shift |
| • | Delete |
| • | Event |
| • | Dyn |
| • | All |
| • | Clear |
|
Setting this to 0 (zero) will disable locking the modifier key, and require both the modifier key and the (action) key to be pressed together. |
Shape Scale Control
This controls how shapes are scaled using the control panel, and whether scaling happens in X and Y independently or together, with separate aspect ratio control.
The choices relate to the control panel menus visible under Shapes on the Image panel.
Values : |
Aspect - Scale, Scale X - Scale Y |
Default : |
Aspect - Scale |
| • | Aspect - Scale This is the default. On the control panel Shapes menu, we have an Aspect parameter and a Scale parameter.</br> |
| • | Scale X - Scale Y On the control panel Shapes menu, we have Scale X and Scale Y parameters.</br> |
Layer Focus on Shot Change
Default : |
Remember per shot |
This option defines the layer focused policy when we jump between shots.
| • | Remember per shot The focused layer is persisted on a shot by shot basis. Returning to a shot will focus the same layer as focused previously on this shot. If navigating to a shot for the first time, focus is put to the Layer Focus Default (see below).</br> |
| • | Match between shots The focused layer is persisted between shots such that we keep the same layer focused on our new shot as was focused on the previous shot.</br> |
Layer Focus Default
Values : |
Effect, Base, Master |
Default : |
Base |
This option defines which layer we focus after a Master Reset on the control panel or the first time we visit a shot.
Press-hold Timeout

1 second |
This refers to the length of time, in seconds, that you need to hold a button down before it goes into repeat keystroke mode.

Speed Settings
These speed settings control the overall sensitivity of the panel controls.
| • | Trackball Speed - the three trackballs on the Colour panel. |
| • | Ring Speed - the three rings on the outside of each trackball on the Colour panel. |
| • | Knob Speed - the parameter control knobs on the Colour and Image panels. |
| • | Wheel Speed - the navigation wheel on the Media panel and the comparison wheel on the Image panel. |
|
Higher values give more sensitivity. |
Fine Sensitivity
Ticking this box will make the rings and trackballs sensitive to very small changes, without affecting the sensitivity for larger changes. This means tiny changes can be applied via tiny movements of controls.
Compare Modes
These parameters are on the next page of the Control Panel settings. Go to the next page by pressing the More button.
Enabled (ticked) items are available as compare modes inside the application.
