ABOUT POPS
The Pops feature allows you to create and “pop” a text selection onto an open
graphic. These text selections are saved as text files or as special graphic files,
which you can use like any other graphic file. You can even specify pop files,
including text (.txt) files, in sequences.
There are three ways to pop text onto the CG page:
text pop
pops in text only (from a .txt file) at the cursor position. Text is rendered in the
current style. For example, during a baseball game, you can pop stats into a
lower third.
style pop
pops in text and font at the cursor position. This works like a text pop, except it
renders text in the stored style associated with the pop rather than the current
style.
place pop
pops in text and style onto a specific position of the graphic, regardless of where
the cursor is. You can, for instance, pop “Final Results” in the center of an on-
air election graphic, even if the cursor is at the top of the page.
