The Story Properties dialog shows the properties that apply to the entire story.

To view Story Properties:

1. If the Story Tree is not already visible, do View > Story Tree/Properties View.
2. Click on the top element in the story tree, with the open book icon .

The Story Properties dialog then appears below the Story Tree.

The Story Properties dialog contains:

• The story's title. This is the name of the file by default, but you can change it. The title is used by the default HTML export templates and is also used by default in printing.
• The story's frame rate. This is the number of frames per second used when exporting to AVI (video). It also determines how times are displayed in the Frame Properties dialog and in the Movie View.
• The story's duration. This is the total length of time contained by all the story's contents.
• The default frame size for new frames. This is the width and height, in pixels, of new frames created with Edit > Add New Frame. (The size of an individual frame can also be changed after they're created with Change Image Size or Change Canvas Size.)

The Match current button sets the default frame size to match the current frame.

The "..." button next to Match current opens the Custom Size Dialog so you can enter a frame size that doesn't appear in the list.
