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.
To import a TGA animation sequence:
1. Choose File | Import | Graphic .
The Import Graphics window appears:
2. Navigate to the animated sequence you want to import.
3. Leave the Resize Image checkboxes unchecked; these fields don’t apply
when importing an animated sequence.
4. Check Auto Detect Sequential Files if you want NewsEdit to import all
sequentially numbered .tga files with the same filename.
