Adding Simple FX to the Rundown

Simple FX allows adding graphics like Channel Bug and Live Bug to your rundown, without the need to build the graphics template using composition:builder, or to add a graphics template to the rundown. Instead, one or two still images can be defined like described under Settings Tab - Simple FX, where one still image will be scheduled by default as the Channel Bug and the second one with every Live Event.

Timeline

In case Simple FX has been configured for your channel, an additional layer will be available in the Timeline named SFX. In contrast to all other layers, elements from the Library cannot be added via drag and drop, instead the visibility is controlled for each element in the video track using the Inspector.

  • An orange marker is shown for each element, which has the Channel Bug activated.

  • A violet marker is shown for each Live Event element, which has the Live Bug activated.

  • In case a Fade In/Out has been defined, the markers are ramped up/down in the timeline.

Scheduling Simple FX using the Inspector

In case a Simple FX Channel Bug has been defined, it will be on air by default and can be turned off for each element in the video track. It does not matter if the element is a video, a Gap element, a Placeholder or Live element. In case a Live Event is added to the rundown and a Simple FX Live Bug has been defined, every Live Event which is added to the rundown will have the Live Bug activated by default.

Channel Bug as well as Live Bug can then be (de)activated individually for each element in the Video track, does not matter what kind of element it is.

Default On Air rules

In case a Simple FX Channel Bug has been defined for a channel, the Channel Bug will be on air by default, it does not matter if there is a playlist scheduled at the current playout position or not.

In case a Simple FX Live Bug has been defined for a channel using “Live Pass-Through by default”, the Live Bug will be on air by default in case no playlist is scheduled at the current playout position.

In case a Simple FX Live Bug has been defined for a channel using “No In” or “Default Black”, the Live Bug will not be on air by default in case no playlist is scheduled at the current playout position.
