5.2.1 Exporting a Still Graphic from Inscriber to Broadcast Pix
Once you have created a CG, you then need to export it for the Broadcast Pix system
to access it. You can save it to many common files types, such as Bitmaps, JPEGs,
Targas, as well as editable Inscriber .Scribe files. It is important to export any graphics
that contain a transparency/alpha channel with a 32 Bit Depth, in order for the graphic
to key over video. The two commonly used files in Broadcast Pix are Truevision Targa
files (.TGA) and Inscriber Scribe files (.SCRIBE).
.Scribe files give you the option to update/change a graphic, that is already in your
Broadcast Pix show, quickly and on-the-fly for immediate results, see section 5.4.1.
To Export a Still Graphic:
1.
On the Inscriber GUI, at the top left, click
on the
File
menu, and a drop down
menu will appear.
2.
Click on
Export, Export Image…,
as
shown on the right. The Save As window
will appear.
3.
Change the file type to
TGA, Truevision (.TGA)
or any other
desired file format.
4.
Click on
32 Bit
under Save Options,
to preserve the alpha channel (if
available)
5.
Type in the
File Name
.
6.
Change the
Save In
storage location to
the folder in which you wish to keep your
titles. In general, all CG graphics are
kept in the central library on the C drive:
C:\\graphics\cg\
(All stills and logos are kept in C:\
\graphics\stills\ and C:\\graphics\logos\
respectively).
7.
Click On
Save.
8.
You may now add the created graphics
to your Broadcast Pix show, as described
in Section 3 with PixMaster.
