Materials are the actual content placed inside a sub-screen.
The most common material types are:
- Image
- Video
- Text
- Web
- Built-in Widgets
You can think of it like this:
- Sub-screen = one content area
- Material = the actual content shown inside that area
How Many Materials Can a Sub-screen Contain
One sub-screen can contain one or multiple materials:
- If there is only one material, it stays on screen continuously
- If there are multiple materials, they rotate in sequence
Different types of materials usually switch like this:
- Images, text, and web materials usually switch based on a stay time
- Videos and other materials with a fixed playback duration usually switch after playback finishes
The Simplest Way to Get Started
If this is your first time making a program, the easiest starting path is usually:
- Select one sub-screen
- Add one image or one video first
- Save it and check the actual result
Once you are comfortable with that, you can add more materials, make them rotate, or try more advanced material types.
