FIGURE 321

Examining the tabbed LiveStory panel from left to right, you’ll see:

An (x) gadget at upper-left. Click this to unload the current script (.docx file).

The eyeline control is a white caret (triangle) control that can be dragged up and down to adjust the
position of the similar eyeline indicator on a teleprompter display.

The script pane, or canvas, displays the content of the .docx document, as interpreted by LiveStory.

o

Colors and font styles have special meaning:

Generally, text shown as yellow and italicized is not meant to be read aloud.

For example, in the image above, the first line (“Pre

-

show setup”) is used

to issue a

command to TriCaster to place Black on output before the show begins. The line has

Word’s

Subtitle

style applied to it, indicating it is not intended to be read aloud.

LiveStory shows this in yellow italics.

You’ll notice, though that the wor

d

setup

is blue in the script pane, despite also being

in

Subtitle

style in the document. This is because the command we inserted to cause

black to be shown on output is in a comment applied to this word in the document.

Blue identifies commented text in the document, and comments can be used to issue

commands (we’ll discuss all of this in more depth shortly

).

Hint: Move the mouse pointer over blue text in the script pane to see a tooltip showing
how LiveStory has interpreted your comment.

Notice that the show

’s

title

(“Springdale Morning Mic”)

is displayed in yellow, too.

LiveStory recognized this is as the SHOW TITLE because the

Title

style is applied to

this text it in the document.
