As you continue, you may make other adjustments relevant to your current production requirements:
• You might adjust cameras using the Proc Amps provided in Input Configuration panels.
• If your production plans include the use of greenscreen staging, you will doubtless adjust the
LiveMatte settings for one or more cameras to provide optimal keying.
• Perhaps you will use Workspace Display Settings to adjust the preview monitor color characteristics.
• What are your output device connection preferences?
o What video mixes and other internal sources do you want to route to which outputs?
o Do you intend to configure a connection for a projection system? What external audio
connections and adjustments are required?
• You might create a playlist of custom title pages in a Media Player , along with additional graphic
elements for the Buffers .
During the course of the actual live production you may perform further fine-tuning, and also add to the
media content used in the presentation:
• You might grab a series of still images from Program Output .
• Or record video clips from the production for replay.
• And capture the network Stream output as a file.
The list of adjustments, activities and assets involved in a
specific production goes on, but the main point to grasp is that
the
session is comprised of all of the above collectively. If you
do not deliberately delete the session, all of your session media
and all of your session settings are ready for immediate recall
and re-use.
When you re-open an existing session, i t’s just as if you were
continuing an earlier event. Thus, if you return to the same
venue another day under similar conditions, simply re-open
your prior session and you are virtually ready to go. (Of course,
it’s the professional course of wisdom to test everything before
beginning any event.)
Naturally, you can store multiple sessions and re-open them
freely. This greatly simplifies management of files associated
with producing unique programs, and easily accommodates
different users with their own individual requirements and
preferences.
SECTION 5.2
THE HOME PAGE
Having discussed sessions, let’s go on to consider how sessions are created, and how you choose which one
to work on. These items, along with a few other top level functions, are found in the Home Page .
Finding your files – automatically.
Typical sessions include many media
clips, along with graphics, titles and
buffers. Naturally, users must ensure
make sure that all of media required is
on hand for the session.
To help with this task, the system will
automatically locate the necessary
media, even when drive settings have
been changed on the system (as, for
example, when a session backup has
been restored onto different drives
compared to the original setup).
