So after 3 months of experimenting we have created a script. That automatically goes to Bloomberg Pulls the numbers we want. Then it creates 10 PNGs with the correct numbers for each slide. It also changes all the numbers and words in the script for the V/o part. all with one click.
Its a very long set up, to much to write here and only work if you have a Bloomberg PC. So if you hate the indicators as much as I do and want to automate it. PM me I will show you how.
Thank you all for your help and ideas. It took a very long time but it was all worth it in the end.

Noah I love the idea, but I think I could take it one step further. What about PowerPoint? Think about it. In PowerPoint you can set up so that it automatically changes the numbers. I’m sure their is a way to make it switch the arrows as well. Then what you do is export as Jpegs, then dump in Final Cut? Yes/No/Maybe? The finance guys here are going to help me with with PowerPoint making sure everything is correct. All and all this sounds like this will work? I was also thinking… When you export these jpegs you simply do an over ride of the previous jpegs so that Final Cut will just update the Jpegs in the timeline? I just wanted to ask you guys before I tried myself.

I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the font just to check and see. Nothing happens the font in question is Helvetica Neue.

Thanks you Jeff that helps a lot. At the moment we’re working off USB 3.0 external hard drives. Would thunderbolt 2 be the best option or is there something better I need to consider? Apart from using the SSD internal drive.
