Importing a TGA Animation Sequence

You can import .TGA animation sequences to use in your NewsEdit sequences.
NewsEdit imports a TGA bitmap file for each frame of sequentially numbered
video, and combines them into a single video clip.

The imported animation sequence, when placed on the NewsEdit Timeline, is
a video clip plus a resize video effect using the alpha channel for transparency.

In order to use a .TGA sequence in NewsEdit, the NewsEdit sequence needs to
have 2 video tracks and the video effects track available.

1. Choose

File | Import | Graphic

2. Navigate to the animated sequence you want to import.

4. Check

sequentially numbered .tga files with the same filename.
