Peek Behind the Curtain

The nitty-gritty deets menu is basically your cheat sheet for what's actually on screen:

The Real Talk

Here's all the juicy specifics about your media file (aka what you actually imported):

  • What Am I Looking At? — whether it's a pic or a video. Groundbreaking, we know.
  • Got a Name? — whatever the media source called it, or if that's boring, just the filename of whatever you jammed in here.
  • How Thicc Is It? — the file size in numbers that won't make your brain hurt.
  • Pixel Math — how wide & tall your asset is (width × height, srsly, basic geometry).
  • How Long's This Thing? — basically how many seconds you gotta sit through. (Images? Yeah, this is empty. Shocking.)

The Actual File

Shows you the filename. If we can squeeze it smaller (& we probably can, let's be real), you'll see a lil' arrow. Tap it & get your compression on like you're Marie Kondo but for bytes.

Playback Mode (AKA "Make It Go")

Only for videos, obvs. Here's how your vid actually behaves:

  • Autoplay — yeet that video at your audience the MOMENT it loads. Turn this off if you wanna be all dramatic & control it yourself like some kinda theater person.
  • Loop It — makes the video restart when it's done. By default? Yep, it loops. Kill this if you're doing countdowns or other tragic one-shot scenarios.
  • Speed Dial — slow it down, speed it up, live your best life. Default is 100% (aka normal, aka boring).

Your speed options are: Reverse: 200%, 150%, 100%, 66%, 50%; Frozen; Forward: 0%, 50%, 66%, 80%, 100%, 125%, 150% & 200%

The Volume Situation

Your videos come in MUTED by default (you're welcome). Wanna hear sound? Flip the volume on. Smash the minus button to nuke it to 100%, or be a perfectionist & tweak it 1% at a time with the tiny controls on the right.
