Workflows
Search for templates and media using Find Graphics and Find Media
Selecting Find Media opens a panel where you can search for available videos and images.
Selecting Find Graphics opens a panel where you can search for available templates and previously saved data elements and library elements.
Basic Workflow
The basic workflow from a template to a data element ready for play-out is as follows:
-
Search for and open templates, data elements or media assets.
-
Search for resources using a variety of filter criteria.
-
Fill graphic templates with content using an auto-generated Fill In Form.
-
Preview graphics in the Preview Window.
-
Save the filled in graphic templates as data elements; they can also be saved in the library. Elements are stored in the Pilot Data Server.
-
Drag elements to a newsroom rundown where they will be available to Director for monitoring and play-out.
Note: At startup, the graphics panel or the media search panel can be shown rather than the welcome page. Select Show this on startup at the bottom right corner of the desired panel:
The most recent setting is saved in the browser's local storage.
