So I just noticed that CMG offers "Pro Layers", something I have never really heard of. For example, a countdown timer in a MOV file that has some sort of transparent background so you can put the countdown on any background you want.

I tried putting one of these in a song slide in EW7 and it shows the timer start time, but when you go live it does not actually play or even show.

Is this something not supported in EW?

Wait a sec... It started working! Awesome.

What format is it in? Version 6 or 7?
7 will support Pro res files with transparency, while 6 can't.
We also support videos that have a fill and mask built in. They will look like double wide videos. I don't think CMG is making those though.

It is a MOV file and I was trying in EW7.
