• A logo has some asset properties that you can modify in the Logo Editor. More details ,

Adding a logo event to a schedule
Usually, a logo plays out as an overlay on a video clip or still image.
In adding a logo event to a schedule, you make it a secondary event. To do so, you drop the
logo onto its primary event on the Schedule Grid or Timeline Display.
iTX enters the new logo event in the Schedule Grid; it displays a block to represent the event on
the Logo track on the Timeline Display. In the Schedule Grid, iTX nests the secondary event
within the primary event.
You should check and edit the properties of the logo event – in particular, its time mode and
offset – in the Event Editor.
Options for controlling the playout of logos
There are two ways of controlling the playout of a logo:
• You can use two schedule events, one to switch the logo on and the other to switch it off.
This is particularly useful when you want to relate the logo timing to the start or end of
another schedule event; you do not then need to calculate an exact duration.
• You can create a single schedule event in which iTX displays the logo for a specified
duration – just as it does for other types of item (video clip, CG, etc.).
Options (On, Off and Dur) on the Logo palette set the logo property that affects the type of
logo event created in the drag-and-drop process. You should select the required option, before
adding a logo event to a schedule; you can change it in the Event Editor afterwards.
Note:
• To ensure iTX removes logos when they are no longer required, remember to schedule a
corresponding off logo event for each on logo event.
