- Videos will be scaled to the resolution of the Playout. Use Videos which are properly sized for whatever output display mode has been selected for the particular Channel.
- Using a Video on an FX Layer treats it like a graphics file. This means that it will be displayed over any Video playing on the Video Layer.
- When using ProRes 4444 Videos the alpha channel is supported.
- Videos on an FX Layer do not have an in- or out-point.
- Videos are played out "as they are", therefore it is not possible to fade them in/out.
