A.3.10 CHANGE COLORS FOR AN ENTIRE TITLE PLAYLIST AT ONCE?

You can quickly alter the default colors for a complete playlist of Title Pages in a Media Player
(such as Titles).

1. Select the button for the player containing the titles on the Preview row of the Switcher.

2. Click the Configuration (gear) button for the player’s onscreen monitor to access the

Proc Amp.

3. Click and drag the Hue slider left or right, swinging colors through the spectrum.

Observe that black and white graphics and titles are unaffected by the hue shift. In many cases,
this allows you to modify background imagery without any effect on text objects (which are often
white).

A.3.11 GET LIVE TITLE PAGES (.CGXML) TO RESPECT ALL LIVETEXT FONT

ATTRIBUTES?

TriCaster’s Title Page file format (.cgxml) presently supports almost every attribute that LiveText
offers – but there are a few exceptions.

For example, multiple font styles on one text line are not supported, which means that different
words on a single line cannot be different colors, or use different typefaces. (Of course you can
achieve the same effect by using additional text objects as necessary.)

For similar reasons, text entered as paragraphs is automatically split into multiple lines in .cgxml
Title Page files.

A.3.12 PREPARE A MATCHED GROUP OF VIRTUAL INPUTS?

Suppose you want to assign matching shots from one theme group of LiveSets to different Virtual
Inputs
(or Presets). You might, for example, want everything to be the same except that one shot
is centered on a virtual monitor in the LiveSet, while another is centered on the set itself.

1. Prepare the first Virtual Input – click its tab, and use the controls to select a LiveSet,

assign and position an Overlay source, even click a Zoom Preset to be the default.
