MANUAL / PANELS

Info

Reads the pixel under the mouse in the Viewer and shows details about the composition and the selected layer's source file.

The Info panel is Brio's version of the After Effects Info panel. It has three sections.

Pixel

Move the mouse over the Viewer to read the composite under it. The readout updates during playback too.

FieldWhat it shows
SwatchThe colour under the mouse.
R, G, B, ALarge numbers: 0–255 display values. Small decimals: linear values with straight (unpremultiplied) alpha.
X, YPosition in composition coordinates (centre origin, Y up — the same space as Position).
HexThe display colour as hex.

Notes under the readout tell you when the mouse is outside the comp, and when the value was read at a reduced preview resolution (Half, Quarter and so on).

Composition

Name, Size (with "3D" for 3D comps), Frame rate, Duration, Time (timecode and frame number of the playhead) and Background colour.

Layer

For the selected layer: Name, Type, and In / Out times.

For footage layers, details of the source file where available: File, Status (Missing), Format, Size (with pixel aspect ratio), Frame rate, Duration, Codec, Pixel format, Bit depth, Alpha, Matrix, Primaries, Transfer, Range (Full or Limited), Color (Untagged when the video has no colour tags), Audio (codec, sample rate, channels), File size and Path.

Values in this panel can be selected and copied.
