====== Timed (Advertisement-) Overlays ====== ===== Introduction ===== Projekktor supports dynamic graphic- and text- overlays for video items. Programming them is done through external XML files. Their structure is quite similar to the Timed Text (TT) XML standard. To specify an overlay-XML-file for any video item set the //[[reference|overlays]]// //item variable//. ===== Structure ===== For a new overlay add a //**div**// container to the XML´s //**body**//. The properties //**begin**// and //**end**// are obligatory. If the //**img**// property is not set and also no //**text**// is contained within the //**div**// the specific container will be ignored. On the other side it is possible to set the //**img**// property OR the //**text**// only OR even both. ^property ^value ^example ^purpose ^note ^ |begin |6 digits time format |00:00:03 |sec. of playback to start overlay |required | |end |6 digits time format |00:00:06 |sec. of playback to end overlay |required, must be greater than //begin// | |valign |top, bottom, middle OR an numeric value |top |vertical overlay alignment within video area| default is //middle// | |align |left, right, middle OR an numeric value |left |horizontal overlay alignment within video area | default is //center// | |bgcolor |hex color code |0xFBB64F |fills the overlay background with the specified color |optional | |img |name of file residing in directory set through //[[reference|path_overlays]]// //config variable// |super.swf |JPG, PNG, GIF or SWF file to use as overlay |optional | |dest_url |any full qualified URL |http://www.projekktor.com |makes the overlay clickable and will open a //share// popup for the specified URL then|this feature is only available for **PRO** or **PRO+** versions | |size |some positive numeric value |15 |sets the font-size of the overlay text |default is 24 | \\ \\ **Sample:**
