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