Layer Plug-In group Label Lets you give the event a unique name. A unique name can make it easier to distinguish the layer event in a long list of events. Layer List Selects the compositor 3ds Max uses for layering the rendered images in the queue. Alpha is the default compositor, but you can also choose from any others you have installed. See the separate help topics for descriptions of the compositors that come with 3ds Max. About Provides version or source information specific to the plug-in on page 8092. Setup Displays a setup dialog specific to the plug-in. Some plug-ins might not use this button. Mask group Channels If you are using a bitmap as the mask file, you can use the Alpha channel, the Red, Green, or Blue channel, Luminance, Z-Buffer or Material Effects channel, or Object ID. Files Select a file to use as a mask. The name of the selected file appears above the Files button. Options Displays the Image Input Options dialog on page 6818 where you can set alignment and size, relative to the frames of video output. For animated images, you can also synchronize the mask with the frame sequence of video output. This is the same dialog used for Image Input Event options. Enabled Enables the mask. If turned off, Video Post ignores any other mask settings. Inverted When turned on, the mask is inverted. Video Post Parameters group VP Start Time/End Time Set the starting and ending frames for the selected event within the overall Video Post queue. Video Post renders the event over the number of frames specified here. Enabled Enables or disables the event. When turned off, the event is disabled and Video Post ignores it when rendering the queue. Each event must be disabled individually. For example, disabling a composite layer event does not disable the composited image events. The range bars of disabled events are unavailable in the event track area. Add Image Layer Event | 6827
