Drag-and-Drop Secondary Items
Secondary Items must anchor to a
File
or
Input
item (the “parent”
item). When you add these items to the Playlist they will appear as icons
to the right of the duration display on the parent item.
BUG
: Drag this icon above the clip or input item over which you want to
display a graphic. This will need to be a PNG with alpha channel. A
dialog lets you enter Start and End offsets.
CRAWL
: Drag this above the item where you want to display a crawling
message. An entry window lets you determine if it is Crawl 1 or Crawl 2,
and lets you enter Start and End offsets and # of repeats.
UP NEXT
: Drag this on a file or input item to automatically display the
EVENT NAME and TIME text from the next upcoming Event header.
TEXT
: When dragged on top of a file or input item you can manually
enter one or more lines of text to overlay the item. You can specify the
offset when the text appears and disappears and how long it displays.

The
MANUAL BREAK
button, typically used to start playback of one or
more files (a “BREAK”) during a ‘live’ event, is active and waiting for a
user click during an INPUT event. After the files in the BREAK have
played, the LIVE pass-through resumes.
