OSITION

We discussed Positioning controls for M/E video inputs previously (Section 14.2.3). It’s worth adding here
that Position options do affect the scale, rotation and position for LiveSet video inputs.

You can often use Positioning controls to achieve a ‘good fit’ and natural appearance of talent or another
source appearing in your virtual sets (greatly reducing the need to fuss with physical camera positions).

Hint: The Align group of LiveSet effects is provided especially to make it easier for you
to adjust cameras and position talent on your physical set to suit the design of typical
virtual sets supplied with TriCaster.

NIMATION

In LiveSet parlance, shots are different ‘virtual camera’ position presets, represented by the eight icons in the
Shot Palette. Click the effect icon to show this.

Making a selection in the palette begins the animated change from the current shot to the new one, over the
duration set in the numeric control below the effect icon.

Note: Some LiveSets (e.g., double-box sets) do not support zooming and panning. In such cases, Shot selection and
T-bar actions may be inoperative.
