Comments

Control Chart

The Control Chart plug-in exposes control of chart data from the Visual Data Tools plugins.

Control Text

From Viz Engine 5.0.1 and above, Control Text exposes text from both the Classic and Viz Engine renderer pipeline.

Control Geom

The Control Geom plug-in exposes the control of geometry objects to the user.

Control Image

The Control Image plug-in creates an image control in the control clients.

Control List

The Control List plug-in allows you to create table controls. Normally there should be a Control Object for each row.

Control Material

The Control Material plug-in exposes the material control to the user. Remember to set up a search provider towards Graphic Hub, to use this.

Control Number

The Control Number plug-in (also known as Control Num) is used to be able to decide how a number input is to be formatted. It can be a value given by the control client user or by any external source. It should be used instead of Control Text when numbers are the input value.

Control Object

Control Object should always be added to a scene when you add other control plugins. It is in this plugin that you mark if a scene is part of a transition logic set or not. There should normally only be one control object in the scene. The exception is when you use a control list when there is a control object for every line.

Control OMO

The Control Object Moving (Omo) plug-in gives you the possibility to add a group of containers and reveal one at the time. Th is control plugin exposes an integer. It is typically nice to use a dropdown for these with proper field names.

Control Video

The Control Video plug-in exposes control over a video codec channel (ClipChannel). Does not support clips in soft clip players.

Control WoC

A replacement of the Control Maps plugin with more options and on-the-fly feedback from Viz Artist/Engine.

Info: If a Control Plugin is not listed in the table above, it is not supported by Graphic Hub and/or Template Builder.
