Notes objects come in handy when you want to enter general comments in the timeline and are used as text source for notes windows. They are placed in a universal track and can be used for supplying information on a particular event or as "cheat paper" for live comments. If you want to fade in text as a show title, for example, you use text objects.
With the right mouse key, click into a universal track and select Insert notes in order to add text. See also ... Adding or removing tracks.
In the field Text enter the required information and select format Bold or Italic, if necessary.
Click on OK.
The note object can be moved in time within the universal track. Just like any other objects, it can also be changed in its length.
Notes objects, too are organised in the Media Pool under Texts.
The contents of notes objects can be displayed in a notes window. See Displaying text in notes windows.
Texts in notes objects can also be exported. See Exporting notes objects into a text file.
You can also display text in a show, e.g. as a title, see Displaying texts via ticker objects.
