Adding a CG event to a schedule
Usually, a CG plays out as an overlay on a video clip or still image.
In adding a CG event to a schedule, you make it a secondary event. To do so, you drop the CG
onto its primary event in the Schedule Grid or on the Timeline Display.
iTX enters the new CG event in the Schedule Grid; it displays a block to represent the event on
the CG 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 CG event – in particular, its time mode and
offset – in the Event Editor.
