1. Show properties
Each show has own properties, like name and size. You can set them while adding show, or by invoking Properties window from Show menu:

Some basic hints about properties:
- name does not have to be unique, but it is generally good idea to keep each show under unique name
- dimensions should be the same as your player resolution, otherwise your show will be scaled
- duration is total time of show, timeline will show only selected duration
Additionally show can have effects changing the way it is displayed:
For now, you can set fade-in and fade-out options, to provide smooth change between shows. As default there is one second fade-in on start and fade-out on stop.
In Tools menu you can set some basic edition-related options. For now you can turn off and on magnetic option, to disable or enable stickiness of objects.
2. Effects

Image presenter can be used to display one image from your assets. Just click on Image icon and select your asset:
