Setting Up the User Interface
 
 
 

Use the controls in the Interface menu to set the appearance of the user interface to your liking. For example, you can set the user interface to suit the room lighting conditions as well as control the display of a matte overlay by adjusting the opacity and RGB parameters of the unselected region of the matte. From the Interface menu, you can also add an overlay, such as a logo, to your cut.
