You can pick any suitably configured graphics image as a custom
graticule. Typically, you will find in the folder called
C:\Program Files\Hamlet\Vidscope\Graticules a number of examples:
)%4-2*
)%4-56
)%4-67
)%4-
)%4-
Any .bmp files in this folder can be freely modified, deleted or used a
templates. If you design and draw your own ,preferably save to
uncompressed .bmp files as jpegs will produce poor results.
The graticule background should be a pure as this is used a keying level
for the overlay.
Those .wbm extensions are the system (.bmp) graticules and may be
substituted by an expert use should the standard versions be replaced.
Copy the 8 to a new file blank.bmp, the blank.bmp can be
used as a template onto draw your own design.

These options allow superimposition of a still picture on the live Preview
Monitor Window for comparison or line-up guide. This function cuts out
the Graticule function, as it uses the same facilities. Use of an overlay
does not affect the video capture in any way. The still could be any
standard graphic formatted file, but is most useful when a still is capture
from your current source. Thus a camera could be set-up to match a
previous shot or position an actor back on spot. It can also help in
matching camera set-ups from previous configurations.
