NewTek TriCaster 300 - Manual (Page 253)

Page | 237
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.
17.2.3 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 10.3).
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.
