194 Chapter 12: Newsroom Integration

Note that in order to preview the proxy versions you also need to install Video

Codecs.

The timeline editor offers basic functionality for adding graphics to the video

timeline. The graphics are added using data elements that are saved down to the

VCP database (normal graphics workflow).

When using data elements, the timeline editor will add them as placeholders on

the video timeline. The placeholders will display snapshots of the graphics as

video overlays (fetched from the Preview Server). The placeholders can of course

be manually adjusted on the timeline.

A story item containing clip and graphics references from the timeline editor will

appear as a group in the playlist. Issuing a Take command on the group will

trigger the video clip and timed graphics.

Video Codecs

If you are previewing proxy versions of video clips from Viz One using the

Newsroom Component’s timeline editor you will have to install

Video Codecs that

are not part of Viz Content Pilot’s Newsroom Component installation.

Note that the setup procedures of Video Codecs are only relevant when using the

timeline editor and not for the Newsroom Component as such. Playout of high

resolution versions on Viz Engine do not require this codec.
