Adjust Facial Feature Colors in the Contemporary Style
People come in all different colors and shapes, and we constantly strive to better allow each individual to be able to represent themselves within Vyond Studio. With this in mind, we’ve updated facial features in the Contemporary Style. You can now change the colors of noses, mouths, and other facial feature outlines in the Contemporary Character Creator to better highlight features against any color skin tone.
Enhanced Volume Control Settings
We’ve made a few enhancements to make it faster and easier to adjust volume in the audio settings panel.
1) Keyboard shortcut
When an audio clip is selected, you can open the audio settings panel with a keyboard shortcut:
Windows: Ctrl + Shift + A
Mac: Cmd + Shift + A
2) Adjust Volume From Dropdown List
Just like selecting font sizes, you can now choose your volume level from a list. You can still type in a number into the field if you want to adjust to a custom volume.
3) Persistent Volume Control Panel
As well as making it easier to open up the audio settings panel, now it’s more convenient to adjust multiple tracks. When you click between audio tracks, the panel will stay open. The panel remains open even if you split a track.
