Configuration

Usually the Composer has the optimal configuration by default. The only thing you may wish to change is the language.

RSS Feeds

There are some default RSS Feeds preconfigured like news from BBC, CNN and others. For a more in-depth configuration of your feeds, please refer to RSS Feeds.

Creating a Project

New Project window

On the top left corner of the Composer application there is a button called "Projects". Clicking there will bring you to the project management window. Here you have two sections. On the left, a list of all projects you already created as well as buttons to create a new project, duplicate an existing one or delete. On the right are the selected project details.

To create a new project click New, define a title, screen orientation (landscape or portrait) and resolution and Save. For optimal visualization, the project' screen resolution should be the same as the screen that is going to play the project.

User Interface

Sidebar

The side bar is dedicated to the project being created. It's composed of 3 parts.

The first consists of information about the current project and a button to preview the work done so far.

The second configures the layout. The layout is composed by a background and, optionally, a mask. Please go here to learn more about layouts.

The third is a list of modules that can be added to the project. There are multiple modules for multiple purposes, please refer to Modules to learn more about each one.
