Progress Bar
The object control panel for auto-numbering allows you to take control of the object colors and opacity, as well as controlling these characteristics for all Progress Bar objects. To open the panel, click on the Project Bar object you want to edit and click [Progress Bar] in the object control panel at the upper right of the interface (see Figure 1). The features are described in Table 1.
These can be used creatively to let viewers know various wait times in the video. For example, the default behavior shows progress, but it might just as well show a count-down by reversing the colors.
