Deko Users: You asked and we listened! We are planning to implement an exciting new feature that allows you to create charts and graphs for displaying dynamic data with real time updates from ODBC connections in your Deko graphics. We are looking for sites to help us Beta test this new functionality. Customers interested in this Beta test will need

The standard install will automatically install the HASP driver. If you are installing off a disk there may be a problem with the files. If you have a service contract you can get the latest PostDeko software online. If you are still having problems you can contact Avid On Air Graphics Support.

Hi Scott, AE .ffx files can not be read into Deko. Any character based animations, such as kerning, positioning or opacity changes, are done via Deko Motion. You need to have the Option for Motion Timeline. If you are uncertain go to Window>Select Layout>Motion. The motion timeline will have icons allowing keyframes to be added (arrow with + near
