Step 2: Enable the feature

Focus mode
Step 2: Enable the feature - MediaLive

Perform this step for each MediaLive channel where you want to insert a motion graphic overlay.

Note

The information in this section assumes that you are familiar with the general steps for creating a channel, as described in Creating a channel from scratch.

To enable the feature

Follow this procedure when you create the channel or when you are modifying an existing channel.

  1. Display the General channel settings section and choose the Motion graphics configuration pane.

  2. Turn on the Enable motion graphics configuration. More fields appear.

  3. Set the fields as follows:

    • Motion graphics insertion – Set to Enabled.

    • Motion graphics settings – Leave the value as HTML motion graphics (the only option).

    For detailed information about this section of the Create channel page on the console, see Complete general settings.

    When you create or save the channel, it will be set up for motion graphics overlay. This means that when you add an action to the channel schedule, the option for motion graphics will appear in the list in the Action type field.

Important

When you save a channel that has the motion graphics overlay feature enabled, there is a charge for the feature that applies when the channel is running, even when there is no motion graphics overlay currently being inserted.

To stop this charge, you must disable the feature.

To disable the feature

To disable the motion graphics feature, turn off the Enable motion graphics configuration field.
