- Learn about the 3D mask.
Properties Panel
The properties panel is where you can edit driving data and blendshapes.
Reference Panel
The reference panel is where you can see the following elements:
- PT Result: This is a gray face that allows you to preview the refinement changes you are making to the character without having to render the shot.
- Driving data: This gray face allows you to see how the AI is interpreting the driving data.
- Plate Proxy: This image displays the original shot uploaded into the project. It is the same as “Source Media”
Timeline
The Refinement timeline provides a visual overview of all the blendshape keyframes as they are created and modified during the refinement of your vub. Each adjustment in the Properties Panel results in changes to your timeline.
On the timeline, you can see:
- Audio waveform
- Keyframes
- Blendshapes in use
Play controls are located at the top left of the timeline.
As you manipulate blendshapes, they will appear on the left-hand side of the timeline. Each with an individual color assigned for easy delineation.
Your keyframe adjustments are displayed inside the timeline.
Frame Rate Display
The frame rate of your source media is displayed in the top right corner of the timeline. Note that you cannot change the frame rate of your vub in DeepEditor.
Timecode Display
The timecode display shows your current playhead position within the vubbed shot. Please note: this timecode reflects the position within your vubbed shot, not the original source media.
