Appendix B - Quick reference to Xbuilder’s settings

Use default offset after zero duration - This setting affects the offset applied to
playlist elements after edits. When the playlist is edited, the offsets of affected elements
are adjusted to avoid any gaps in the playlist. The rule applied when setting the offset
of a playlist element that follows a page element is to make the offset equal to the
duration of the preceding page element. In cases where the duration of the preceding
page element is zero then the U

consulted. If it is true, then an offset of 10 seconds is used, otherwise, an offset of 0 is
used.

SWCG Executable Location - The full path to the Software CG executable used to
preview and/or render to the asset to an image or video file. Usually, the installer places
the VertigoCG2L.exe file in the following directory:
C:\Program Files\VertigoXmedia\Apps\VertigoCG2

TV Format - When using a MergeList in Xbuilder to create a series of pages, the TV
Format
parameter ensures that the values that appear in the playlist’s Duration
column are displayed using a consistent resolution format. For example, if the duration
in the MergeList is 45 seconds for a 25 fps template, then the duration in the playlist
will be 00:45.0 when TV Format is set to PAL and 00:37.15 when set to NTSC.
