17 SPEEDEDIT AND LIVETEXT
LiveText™ is a powerful title and CG application, allowing you to create title
pages for use in the Live Desktop’s Media Players. Title pages can be still or
motion pages, including scrolls and crawls.
SpeedEDIT™ provides a host of world-class editing tools for pre and post
production purposes. You’ll find it innovative and powerful, ready to handle
numerous editing and also file conversion chores.
SpeedEDIT and LiveText are both full-blown, powerful, professional program also available as a
standalone applications. Each of these programs has its own complete manual, which can be
accessed from the Help icon in the Startup Screen (the source .pdf files are located in the
C:\TriCaster\Documentation folder, in case you wish to print them out). In this section, then, we
will review matters specific to the different applications when running in as an integrated part of
the TriCaster™ environment.
17.1 SPEEDEDIT
SpeedEDIT projects are launched from the Home Page in TriCaster’s Startup Screen. After
creating a new session or opening an existing one, click Add-Ons on the icon ring (see Section
5.2.5). This reveals options and links at right, including SpeedEDIT if it has been installed
(SpeedEDIT is an optional download, and can be found in your TriCaster registration section on
NewTek’s website).
SPEEDEDIT PROJECTS AND DISPLAY 17.1.1
Normally, TriCaster uses its current session settings for video output. New SpeedEDIT projects
(created using SpeedEDIT’s File menu (New), for example) may be a various resolutions,
however. SpeedEDIT sends output to TriCaster’s audio and video outputs continuously, without
selecting any menu setting.
Unlike the arrangement for Live Desktop output, for SpeedEDIT purposes TriCaster’s video
outputs (rows 1-3) will all attempt to conform to the SpeedEDIT project format. That is, if the
project is HD, the SDI outputs will all be HD, and the analog outputs will all be Component HD.
