IMPORT TEXT
If you drag an (ASCII) file onto the
Canvas from the tabbed Filebin, the
Import Text panel pops up.
This panel offers numerous controls
over the manner in which the lines of
text in the file are treated on import,
and how multiple pages will be
generated as necessary for them.
You can create a new page for each line of text, or form a single long page containing multiple
lines. As well, you can control placement of the text on the newly created page(s) using the
Alignment, Preset or Custom Position buttons.
5.4 STAND-IN IMAGES
Among other things, the Title Editor in TriCaster’s Media Players (DDR, Stills and Titles) allows
you to substitute a different image for stand-in (or “placeholder”) images in Title Pages (.cgxml)
exported from LiveText. Details of how to replace stand-in images are found in the TriCaster
manual.
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.
NOTE: Images with Shadow or Edge options enabled cannot serve as ‘stand-in images’. Also,
image-mapped (textured) objects cannot serve stand-ins. (Drag the placeholder image onto the
canvas from the File bin rather than texturing and object).
