I need help! Is there a method to create a backplate for lower third graphic tags within VF? I've tried all options imaginable and can't come up with a solution. I even tried creating a graphic image in Photoshop, but could not import the image into VF to composite.
What format are you saving the image in? JPEG and PNG are probably the best choices. Place it in the upper track and use Pan/Crop to position it where you want it.
Chienworks is correct. I've used MS Photodraw with most graphics formats and they import and it works. Pan/Crop allows you to "position" and even squash graphics. You can even have your graphics "wander" across the screen using Picture in Picture - Kooool!
