Graphic status

Depending on the status of your graphic, it will show up slightly differently on the status indicator on the left.

From top to bottom, here are the multiple statuses of a graphic

  • Dotted line: Graphic is cued to go on-air.
  • Pulsing line: Graphic is coming on air or going off-air.
  • Solid red: Graphic is on-air.
  • Solid red with dotted line: Graphic is cued to go off-air.

Run

At the top of the rundown is the Run button. This is very useful for bringing cued graphics on and off-air.

Adding a graphic

To add a new graphic to your rundown, click the + button to show the list of available graphics.

Choose any of the graphics from the list to add it to your rundown.

Drag & drop an image

To add an image even faster, drag an image file from your computer and drop it straight onto the rundown. H2R Graphics imports the file and creates an Image graphic from it, ready to show.

As you drag over the rundown, the drop area is outlined and a Drop image to add a graphic prompt appears, so you know the file will land where you expect.

There’s no need to import the file into the Media tab first and then add a graphic separately.

Learn more about the Media tab.

Filtering the rundown

Use the filter box at the top of the rundown to search your graphics by name.

Press Escape while the filter box is focused to clear your search and show every graphic again.

The project header and the filter row stay pinned to the top as you scroll, so your search and your project controls are always within reach on a long rundown.

Lock the rundown

When the show starts, it’s a good idea to lock your show to avoid any accidental changes.

Click the Lock button to do this.
