Media

WATCHOUT is a compositing application; it does not include any media creation or editing functions. Most media to be used in your presentation must be supplied and edited using other means.

This chapter provides an overview of the media and file formats supported by WATCHOUT, as well as examples of popular applications used to create or edit such media files. A brief overview is also available online:

IMPORTANT: Whenever possible, keep a show’s media files in a folder that is located in the same folder as the WATCHOUT show file, or in a sub-folder. This allows the software to use relative file access paths, making it easier to move the show to another disk or computer. You can use the Consolidate To command to organize all files in this way.
