Elections Are Near

[chyronjunkie]

Does anyone have a script for LeaderPlus? This is my first year with Chyron, never done elections with this machine. Any of you used to work on an FXDeko you know how easy it was for elections. 4 Weeks away from the first set of primaries. If you have a script that works can you attach it to your thread? please :)



Before I used a FXDeko that used a custom typeface for headshots. Now I have a Chyron HyperX, how do I use headshots for elections?? What's the step used? Please this is very important.

Nevermind, unless I'm wrong, characters come from the Custom Font Editor?

what kind of script? a leader script, or a chyron page with the templates? and what exactly are you looking for; lower 3rds, fullscreens, candidate pics, bar graphs?

Here is a fullscreen Leader script. Beware we use LeaderPlus ver. 4.3...upgrade, schupgrade! Now a lot of this is geared to our look and
how we display stuff, but you should be able to hack something together.
Hell, I did it and if I can do it anyone can!

i've written many a script and it appears you're script is helpful. After reading the latest LeaderPlus info maybe I should've kept my FXDekoII, being Avid owns Deko now.


Thank you for the input.
