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