Creating and opening Xstudio projects and assets
Ingesting files created using third-party applications
Individual content files (i.e. images, cel animations, video clips, and audio clips) that make
up broadcast graphics are normally produced by third-party applications outside of the
Vertigo Suite. Therefore, you must ingest them into the Xmedia Server before they can be
used by Xstudio as assets. Ingesting a file basically means converting the file into a Vertigo
asset and saving it on the Xmedia Server according to its asset type.
While the procedure for ingesting image, video, and audio files is for the most part the same,
ingesting cel animations requires a different procedure. The following sections provide
information and instructions for ingesting files into the system.

Ingesting image or audio files
Images and audio clips that were created using third-party applications must be ingested into
the Xmedia Server before they can be used in Xstudio.
