  Box Kind
   
The Box Kind attribute controls how the element is drawn. There are 6 included box kinds.

Options

  • Filter: Is a box which puts a filter on any element that it is layered over. It does not effect any elements that are drawn after it. The filter type can be selected with the QuickTime effects picker.
  • Filter Lite: Is a box which puts a filter on any element that it is layered over. It does not effect any elements that are drawn after it. The four filter lite types are Darken, Invert, Lighten, and Tint.
  • Frame: Is a box with a border around the edge. The border qualities can be set by the appropriate field boxes.
  • Gradient: Is a box filled with a gradient. The gradient can be one of four types: Left to Right, Top to Bottom, Right to Left, or Bottom to Top. The From and To settings let you specify the colors the gradient uses to fill the box.
  • Opaque: Is a box with a solid color that can be entered as Red/Green/Blue values or else selected with the operating system's Color Picker.
  • Transparent: Is an invisible box. It is similar to not shown, but it does not prevent the elements it contains from being shown. This is a useful kind of element for organizing other elements.
