# Inserting Logos for Real-Time Output

Keep in mind the following when selecting clips to use as logos:

- If the clip has more than one frame, only the first frame is used.
- A clip that is Burn™ pending, unlinked or unlinked HiRes, cannot be used.
- The higher the resolution for the clip, the more impact it has on the capacity of the application to output in real time.

Logo settings are persistent, and are reloaded the next time you open the Output Clip menu.

NoteThe same logo, with its settings, is applied to all clips for which you have checked the Logo column in the Output Clip list.

To insert a logo in real time:

1. Access the Output Clip menu as described in Outputting Clips To a VTR.
2. In the Output Clip menu, use the Logo column to indicate the clips on which to overlay the logo.
3. Click the Logo tab to access the logo controls.
4. Select one or two clips to be used as your logo:
   - If you select one clip, it is used as the front clip and a luminance key is applied to it. If the clip has multiple frames, only the first frame is used.
   - If you select two clips, the first is used as the front and the second as the matte.
5. Use the logo controls to position and configure the appearance of your logo, and to define in and out points. See About the Logo Controls.
6. Output the clip.
