The transport controls provided include Fast Forward, Stop and Rewind (affecting either the
entire list or just a single clip, depending which mode is selected). A large knurled Jog Wheel is
also provided.
Hint: Clicking Stop a second time jumps to the first frame of the selected clip if clicked a second
time. If in List mode, Stop will jump to the beginning of the first clip. Loop will continue to play an
entire sequence of clips in List mode, and will repeat a single clip in Selection mode.
PLAYBACK SPEED
The blue LED ‘lights’ below the Jog Wheel show the current speed, whether forward or reverse.
Click directly on one of these LEDs to jump to that speed increment.
J, K, L HOTKEY CONTROL
The keyboard shortcut k will also play the DDR playlist (to be precise, the k shortcut toggles
Play/Pause). Pressing the neighboring speeds up the current rate of play – pressing it again
speeds it up even more. Conversely, pressing the j key slows down the current rate of play;
depending on the current rate of play, it will even reverse playback. Pressed repeatedly, the j
key produces fast reverse playback (See Appendix E for the full list of hotkeys available).
6.4 TEXT
When producing newscasts, presentations and videos, it’s essential to identify speakers and to
present key facts both visually and verbally. TriCaster provides several methods of quickly
creating great looking text and graphics pages for live and edited projects. As this chapter
focuses on LIVE Production, we’ll discuss the Text panel tab nested in that section first.
The Text panel features an easy-to-use template-based system. This lets you quickly call up and
modify professional looking titles on the fly, adding your own customized graphics and logos.
Text Templates are provided in lower third as well numerous full-screen page styles. Template
menus list the available entries by Template Theme, allowing you to easily locate templates
having a similar graphic style. This is useful with developing a “look” for your program.
