16 Overview of FXDeko
FXDeko User’s Guide
PROGRAM AND PREVIEW
All graphics are created in a Preview or Program window.
The Program window shows the current on-air graphic. The contents of this
window match FXDeko's video output, plus a cursor, safe-title lines and other
markers. There can be one or two Program windows.
The Preview window shows a graphic that is not yet "on-air." The Preview
window is used most often in the Motion Compose layout, to demonstrate
motion playback, or in the Sequence Playback layout, to show the graphic that is
about to become the Program graphic.
Important FXDeko requires exclusive use of your system’s OpenGL sub-
system to produce video output. To prevent disruption of
FXDeko’s video output, do not run any other OpenGL
applications or screen savers.
