When a shape is inserted, the video pauses for the specified number of seconds (Default 3 seconds).
Like standard video editing software, you can set a display range and show the shape during that time. In that case, enable "Range Shape" and edit.
- Click [Change] in "Use feature" and select [Shapes] to enable it.
- A timeline for shapes is added to the timeline.
-
Seek to the timing where you want to insert a shape and click the [+] button.
- A new shape insertion is defined, and a toolbar appears in the video area. In Dive, when a shape is inserted, the video pauses for the specified number of seconds (Default 3 seconds).
- Now let's place a circle on the video. Click the [Circle] button in the toolbar. Then a circle shape appears in the video. You can resize or rotate the shape from the drag points around the shape, and change its position by dragging the shape itself.
- Text and photos can also be combined.
Snap when Dragging
When you drag a shape, it snaps to the position of a Step split, Cut, Subtitles, or other shapes. The snapped position is shown with a guide line and name, so you can see where it aligns in real time.
Copy and Paste a Shape to Another Location
If you want to place the same shape in another location, you can use copy and paste.
- Select the shape you want to copy (or the block in the timeline) and press Ctrl+C
- Move to the playback position where you want to paste
- Ctrl+V
Copy and paste work not only for shapes but also for all tracks in the timeline. For blocks with duration, the end point is trimmed so that it fits before the next block when pasted. If there is already the same type at that playback position, a message appears indicating that pasting is not possible.
Overlay One Page of a PDF onto the Video
When inserting an image as a shape, you can select 1 page from the PDF Materials and overlay it on the video. Use this when you want to overlay the relevant page of a drawing or specification document with the work footage.
- Select Image Insertion from the shape toolbar and choose a PDF from Materials
- Specify the page with [Select pages to overlay]
- The specified page appears as an image overlaid on the video
After overlaying, you can move, enlarge, and crop the image shape just like a normal image shape. PDFs with special page structures may not be readable, in which case a message appears indicating that.
