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