96.8%
Our study shows that 96.8% of all broadcast graphics can be done with HTML. Lower thirds, tickers, sport tables, scoreboards, countdowns, news, channel branding, election graphics, and more.
Tracked 3D graphics such as virtual sets and augmented reality are within the 3.2% of graphics that require a dedicated 3D engine, but for the rest, HTML graphics are a great fit.
Bring your design
SPX graphics can be created with any design tool that supports HTML. This includes Adobe After Effects, Rive, Loopic and more. Please read our graphics creation guide for more information about creating graphics for SPX.
If you need help with creating graphics, our Creative Services team is also happy to help and work with your team to create the graphics you need for your production.
