Configure a media panel

This section shows how to customize a media panel, either when you are manually adding it or afterward. Panels for all media types have the same options.

1. You configure a media panel during the process of adding it. To update its configuration later, click its gear icon.
2. In the Basic tab, give the panel a name, select the keys to visualize, and configure the maximum number of runs, number of columns, and number of items to show.
3. Optionally configure additional settings in the Advanced tab. You can configure smoothing for images, turn on or off Grid mode to overlay a configurable X-axis and Y-axis on the panel, adjust the stepper’s metric and stride length, and optionally adjust the stepper’s offset so that the panel always stops at the current step.
4. Click Apply.
