What software is used to produce on screen graphics?

[robfosters]

What do companies like Sky Sports use for their flash onscreen graphics for animated logos and programme intros?

Is it in-house software or do they use software that anyone can get hold of?

No idea about Sky specifically but After Effects is the general industry standard. Probably have some others thrown on top for particle effects etc via things like Cinema 4D and Blender.

In any case no, not proprietary beyond templates, they'll have likely been created by a motion graphics agency.

If you want to have a try at something similar yourself then Blender is an excellent tool. It's just about up there with the commercial versions but is free and open source.

I know that F1 (FOM - who sell the feed you see on sky etc) use Vizrt. Not sure about others.

Cheers guys, it turns out that Vizrt artist seems the be the most widely used program, and you can get it and an online introductory course for absolutely free at https://www.vizrt.com/campaign/free-viz-artist

How do they do that thing on football match analysis where they pick up the player and move him on the screen? That's clever.
