Create and Edit Overlays

5. Select a button on the matrix to add a user interface element to that position on the matrix.

   By default, the Magnify indicator (MI) is on the top left, the Record indicator (REC) is on the top right, the Clip Name (CLIP) is on the bottom left, and the Timecode (TC) is on the bottom right.

   Selecting one (1) of the buttons opens a new dialog that lets you choose a user interface element.

6. Select the Item that you want to add.
7. Select the Size of the item.
8. If adding a Custom Label (LBL), enter the Custom Text for that item.

10. Add all of the items to the overlay.
11. Select Create or Save.

    The new overlay displays in the Camera list.

    NOTE: Except for the Custom Label (LBL), you can only add each element once. If you add an element you have already added to the overlay, the element moves to the new position.
