Palettes

After you create a movie, you can add various types of objects (such as shapes, lines, buttons, and cursors) to the individual frames. A palette is an element that lets you store objects for later use.

  1. Creating Palettes
  2. (Optional) Linking to External Palettes
  3. Adding Objects to Palettes
  4. Using Objects From Palettes

Example  

You create a button and modify it (adding text, color, shadow, an action), with the intention of using it in most frames. It would be time consuming to redesign that button each time you want to use it in a frame. So you save the button to a palette. The next time you want to add the button to a frame, you double-click it or drag it from the palette.

Note Palettes are especially convenient because they are stored in your "Documents\My Palettes" subfolder. This means that, once created, the palette and its objects become available to all of your Mimic collections and movies. Not only that, but they are also available to any images that you edit in Capture.
