This table shows the fields that apply for an action to activate a motion graphics overlay.

Field Description
Action type Motion Graphics Activate.
Action name A name for this activation action. For example, the name of the motion graphic asset.
Start type Fixed or Immediate.
Date and time

The date and time (in UTC format) that the channel must activate the motion graphics overlay. The time should be at least 60 seconds later than the time that you submit the action.
