Seems like a good approach.

I'll let you all know how it goes...

Yes, I'm aware of that capability (we run several Final Cut suites),  
the need is for a way to generate multiple (30+) slates with  
sequential numbering and versions of each. Kind of tough to do by  
hand, which is how we do it now.


Thanks for the suggestion though...

Hi Wally,

You can put the text on top of the image then use the export snapshot 
command.


best,

Chipp

The question is how to save the text of the fields "rendered" on top  
of the background image as an image file (with both the background

Do you have to save the image + text as a separate file? If not, you

I have an solution that I'm trying to put together that will serve 
as a slate generator for our video production company.


Basically a slate is a series of frames that count down (10 to 2) 
that is placed just before a commercial. This slate has all the 
information needed to identify a spot.

Do you have to save the image + text as a separate file? If not, you
could just have transparent text fields positioned on top of the image
and fill them in as necessary.

I have an solution that I'm trying to put together that will serve as  
a slate generator for our video production company.


Basically a slate is a series of frames that count down (10 to 2)  
that is placed just before a commercial. This slate has all the  
information needed to identify a spot.


What I need to do is to use this sequence of images as a background  
and render text on top based on information entered in various fields.


The roadblock I'm running into is the actual rendering of the text on  
an image and then saving it.


It occurred to me that it could be relatively easy to do a screen  
grab of the area, then rename that file and so forth, but I can't  
figure out how to do this.


Ideally I would not have to depend on screen grabs and it would be  
great to just generate the frames and save them internally.


I'm very new to RR so if anyone has any pointers on how to do this I  
would appreciate it a lot.


Thanks!!

Wally
