NewTek TriCaster 8000 - Manual (Page 361)

Page | 345
Motion pages (scrolls and crawls) that you send to Live are stored as bitmap
animation files (with an .avi file extension), suitable for playback in Live Desktop’s
DDR. These are sent to the session folder inside TriCaster’s main Clips folders. The
content of motion pages cannot be edited in the Live Desktop.
When you select Send All Pages to Live, each page in the project is exported in turn to
the appropriate format and location. This means they are readily accessible in the
Live Desktop’s Media Browser afterward, for easy addition to a Media Player playlist.
Title Page icons will appear grouped under their project names in the Media
Browser’s File Pane when you select the session name in the Location List at left.
21.1.3 NAMING STAND-IN IMAGES
Among other things, the Title Editor in TriCaster’s Media Players (DDR, Still and
Titles) allows you to substitute a different image for stand-in (or “placeholder”)
images in Title Pages (.cgxml) exported from LiveText (working with stand-in
images is discussed in Section 11.3).
When creating title pages for this purpose in LiveText, you may find it saves you
time to add the string “_placeholder” somewhere in the filename of images you
prepare for this purpose. For example, you might name an image
"headshot_placeholder.png", or "_PLACEHOLDER_crest.jpg".
Images named in this manner will automatically appear as stand-in images
(unlocked) in the Title Pages you export to TriCaster using the Send to Live options
in LiveText’s File menu.
SECTION 21.2 SPEEDEDIT
SpeedEDIT is an optional application, and can be found in the downloads section of
NewTek’s website.
SpeedEDIT is 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 0). This reveals options and links at right, including SpeedEDIT after it
has been installed.
