CHAPTER 3 FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Virtual Set Editor is quite straightforward to use, and this is especially true if you
are already familiar with common TriCaster controls and features.
In this chapter, we’ll discuss each area of the application, explaining how the
various controls operate and what effect they have, and revealing a few little
tricks that you may find helpful along the way.
SECTION 3.1 STARTUP WIZARD
FIGURE 30
Whenever you launch Virtual Set Editor, the Startup Wizard provides convenient and quick options. The
Open Recent pane at left displays icons for projects you have been working on lately. Initially, the bin is
empty. You can use the Browse button at the left bottom corner of the dialog to load a project from a
different location, or make a selection in the New Project icon bin at right.
The New Project bin shows all installed VSE Presets, and also two special icons:
 Click the icon labeled “From Photoshop” to to Import layered Photoshop
®
files (.PSD), converting
them to VSE projects that in turn can be used to generate fully original LiveSets. Helpful details are
provided in Section 3.7 of this manual.
 The second icon, “From Panorama”, is also special. Click it to open a file browser, select a suitable
‘panoramic’ image file, and continue to create a Holographic LiveSet™ – a special and exceptionally
powerful virtual set variant discussed in detail in Section 3.8.
 The remaining icons represent supplied VSE presets, ready for immediate customization and
LiveSet creation.
