Supported Operating Systems
Graphics Plugin supports two operating systems:
-
Microsoft Windows
-
Mac using OS X 10.13 High Sierra, or later
Although the basic setup is in principle the same, there are some differences in how the systems are used and what software is used in addition to the plugin.
Windows-based Systems
Three editors are available for adding graphics to a video clip: Viz Trio, Viz Pilot and Viz Pilot Edge. Viz Trio is bundled with the Graphics Plugin installer, whereas Viz Pilot must be installed separately, as it connects to the Viz Pilot database for template data and graphics. Viz Pilot Edge is a web application that is accessed through the Graphics Plugin by adding the URL in the Configuration Tool.
Mac-based Systems
Two editors are available: Viz Pilot Edge and the plugin's own built-in Graphics Plugin Editor. The editor is capable of reading Viz Trio shows stored on the Media Sequencer and remotely previewing the Viz Engine graphics as well as editing the text and image properties of graphic scenes.
The Graphics Plugin Editor is used since Mac-based Graphics Plugins are unable to control or use Viz Trio and Viz Pilot remotely as a user interface.
Note: The Graphics Plugin Editor isn't supported on macOS Catalina and newer versions.
