On Screen Overlay Information; Guidelines And Playback Tips - Visual Circuits ReelTime 2 User Manual

Graphic Interchange Format (GIF) files are created with standard
graphics authoring programs. The following are basic creation

guidelines and playback tips:

1. The width, or "X" axis, of the GIF's resolution must be a
multiple of 16 pixels.
2. GIF must be 16-color non-interlaced format. A palette of
exactly 16 colors (any colors) can be used.
3. Animated GIFS are not supported.
4. The GIF file should not go off the edge of the screen.
5. There must be an MPEG file underneath the GIF in order for
the GIF to display properly. The MPEG does not have to be
playing.
6. MPEG files using a GIF overlay, should be a minimum of 8
seconds in duration to ensure properly timed GIF display.
