Layout Management
Reading time ~2 minutes
Use the main menu to access commands to operate the Cinegy Studio components and playout:

It is also possible to adjust the application layout according to your requirements. To enable layout management mode, use the "Edit Layout" command from the "View" main menu:
The interface consists of two panels – the left and the right one – which can be resized by dragging the grid line horizontally to decrease/increase the panels proportionally:
The number of columns on both panels can be adjusted from 1 to 4 columns. To change the number of columns on the left or right panel, select the necessary option in the "Left Panel" and "Right Panel" submenus respectively from the "Edit" main menu in layout editing mode:
