In addition, the next

Premium Access

feature we will discuss (LivePanel™)

provides several powerful ways to

update

DataLink

key value (such as its integrated

Scoreboard

control pages for various sports). And thanks

to the included

Builder

web app, you can even build custom control pages capable of driving your motion

graphics from any device on your network with a web browser.

TITLES FROM PHOTOSHO

P™

Of course you’ve lo

ng been able to create titles and graphics in Photoshop, and display these as images in (for

example) as DSK. Now, however, loading a PSD file you create in Photoshop compiles an

editable

title page

(CGXML file) that works just like those supplied with your NewTek

system or created in our LiveText™

application. The text remains editable, and embedded images can be marked replaceable too.

To make an image replaceable, simply add the string

“REPLACEABLE” to the layer’s label in Photoshop. You

can even assign a

DataLink

key to the layer in the same fashion

naming the layer in the format

“REPLACEABLE %twitterpic%”, for example (without the quotation marks, of course).

As mentioned above, when you load the PSD into a

Media Player

, then open it in the

Title Editor

, the text is

editable, and placeholder images can be replaced. And it gets even better if you load the file into a

Buffer

.
