Layering Screens

Screens can comprise of either a jpg, gif, png or mov/mp4 files and in most cases (if desired) these can all be used on the same screen allowing you to create a layered interface.

  • The GIF format only supports fully opaque or fully transparent areas.
  • The alpha channel of the PNG image can be used to give full control over the transparency of the overlay from fully transparent through semi-transparent to fully opaque.
  • Videos can be in MP4 format (with a .mp4 file extension) or Apple QuickTime format (with a MOV file extension). QuickTime videos saved in HEVC format can contain an alpha channel to give full control over the transparency of the video from fully transparent through semi-transparent to fully opaque.

Examples
