User Manual

 Last x frames: Turning on this checkbox lets you specify a number of frames before the
end of each clip during which the current item of metadata will appear onscreen after
fading up over one second, before cutting away with the end of the clip.
 Font: Defaults to Courier, but you can choose any font that’s installed on your system.
 Size: Defaults to 48, but you can choose standard increments from 6 to 72.
 Alignment: Defaults to Center. The only other option is Left.
 Color: Defaults to white, but you can choose from a range of predefined colors in this
drop-down menu.
 Background: Defaults to black, although the apparent color is influenced by the
Opacity setting. For a more garish look, you can choose from a range of predefined
colors in this drop-down menu.
 X-Y Position: Lets you change the horizontal and vertical orientation of the current
item of metadata. The default horizontal value is the center of the frame, relative to the
current project’s frame size. The first item of metadata is centered vertically near the
bottom of the frame, above Action Safe. Each subsequent item of metadata you turn on
is automatically placed above the previous item of metadata, regardless of its order in
the “Add to Video Output” list.
 Opacity: Defaults to 1.0. Lets you define the transparency of the burned-in metadata’s
background color.
 Text: (only if one of the Custom Text options is checked) A text field that lets you enter
custom text to display as one of three possible custom text items.
 Logo: (only if one of the Logo options is checked) A field that displays the file path of
any currently selected graphic that you’re displaying as one of the three possible Logo
graphics. Compatible graphics formats include PNG, TGA, TIF, BMP, and JPG. Alpha
channels are supported for transparency in logos.
 Import File button: (only if one of the Logo options is checked) Lets you choose a
graphics file to use as a logo.
Gang Rendered Text Styles
You have the option of independently styling each item of metadata, depending on whether the
Gang Render Text Styles option is checked in the Data Burn window’s Option menu. When
turned on, all text metadata share the same font, size, color, background, justification, and
opacity. When turned off, each item of metadata can have individual settings.
Prefix Render Text
Another option in the Data Burn window’s Option menu lets you turn the prefixes, or headers,
on or off for all metadata that’s enabled to be burned in.
