  • Transitions (RTDs)
Example of Transition timeline

Transitions (sometimes called RTDs) are quick one second animations that play before or after a replay. When creating transitions, the first and last frames should be completely blank (full alpha), and the middle frame (frame 13) content should completely fill the frame.

  • Bugs

Bugs are small graphics in the corner of the frame, usually at the bottom.
Bugs run on the big screen after a transition. 

When designing your bug, consider it is going to be played over footage, so you should attempt to differentiate it from the background. This could be with a drop shadow or a small shape.

Bugs can include: Brand logo, tagline or reference to which moment it is being played over (eg. “4” if it is for a 4).
