How to Create and Use Graphics in NFHS Producer

  • Updated

Graphics are an integral part of any professional broadcast. There is no better way to display the pertinent information of an event that you are producing than through the use of graphics.

With NFHS Producer, graphics come in three varieties, each equally important: Overlays, Logos, and Slates. Used correctly, graphics are a massive addition to any event.  Make sure to take full advantage of them in your broadcasts.
