(1.0.0) Misc

The Misc tab contains miscellaneous layer properties.

Clear Colour

This is the layer colour and alpha channel value (RGBA) which is used at the start of the rendering pipeline for the layer. The default is black, transparent. This will only be visible on the canvas for layer types where the content does not necessarily fill the whole layer geometry such as the Composition and Content Bank types.

Template

This section enables the layer to be saved as template, with permissions on which users are able to utilise the template. In the User Groups list, select which groups are able to see the template. Then press the Generate button, the layer will now be available as a template to any user in one of the enabled user groups. The template will be given the same name as the original layer, and will appear in the Templates tab in the Load Content dialog.

Filepath

The Filepath is intended for selecting an executable file or batch file. The file is launched when the layer is loaded from a session. This is useful for launching third-party applications which integrate with ICE.

Arguments

The Arguments value is used in conjunction with the Filepath to specify any launch parameters or command-line arguments. This is useful in cases where the third-party application has a command-line switch to, for instance, enable ‘Igloo’ mode.
