Project & underlay

Workflow in PatchMaker is organized in projects. Each project is represented by a single file containing references to the footage you work on, your current settings of the algorithm parameters, and all the computed data.

Since a PatchMaker project, unlike an AE project, contains only one composition, the terms "project" and "composition" are used hereinafter as synonyms.

 

Underlay

Importing
an underlay

When a new project is created, it is associated with an underlay footage, the frames of which will be used in computations. The dimensions of the underlay, both geometrical and temporal, define the dimensions of the composition.

If you want to change the underlay, you need to start a new project.
