Using a dynamic overlay from PreformatIN

You can use dynamic overlays generated by PreformatIN, including any embedded fonts. A dynamic overlay can be used together with content from Composition Center.

Currently, using dynamic overlays may not render quality good enough for production. Also, memory consumption may be relatively high during the StoryTeller processing session. If this is important, we recommend to not use this feature until in a future release when this has been improved. In the File > Processing properties dialog, on General settings, you can set the Session cache size to 0 which will reduce the memory footprint, but also reduce performance.

Inserting a PreformatIN dynamic overlay

1	Select Insert > New Fragment > Overlay.

2	Add a script before the overlay:

$path_to_dynamic_overlay = GetDynamicOverlayURI();

3	Select the overlay and the Fragment URI property.

4	In the Modification field, enter $path_to_dynamic_overlay.

For more information on the GetDynamicOverlayURI()script function, see the StreamServer Scripting Reference.

As an alternative to the above, you can set the FragmentURI property directly in the script:: stSetProperty("OverlayURI", GetDynamicOverlayURI());
