Adding Dynamic Overlay
A Dynamic overlay is a graphic object with properties. Each dynamic overlay is customized by your System Administrator according to the user needs.
Dynamic overlays can detect the selected aspect ratio and choose the right design (all is designed in advance).Video Clips can be enhanced with dynamic overlays when the Edit Clip mode is active, using the Dynamic overlay icon at the top of the Video Playback window.
Dynamic overlays can be added over any of the following:
Video
Animation
Still images
