Working With Graphic Overlays in a Playlist

As previously noted, graphic overlays exist in a playlist as attributes of specific video entries. The only image types that are compatible with Firefly are .bmp, .jpg, .gif, .tga or .png.

Figure 10. Graphic Overlay Properties Page

While copying .jpg, .gif, .tga, .png or non 256-color .bmp image files, Firefly converts those files to a standard 8-bit, 256-color bitmap format and reduces the image sizes, if necessary, to the system maximum of 720 x 480 for NTSC. As a result, all image files listed on the system have the file extension .bmp. The conversion to .bmp format ensures that all graphic overlays are consistent in appearance and functionality.

An alternative to the auto-formatting performed by the Firefly is to create the images and convert them to the 8-bit standard mentioned above before importing them.
