LIVESET SELECTION

An information line at the top of the Virtual Input tab lists the current LiveSet (if any) for this Virtual Input. The
default LiveSet simply composites Input A over Input B (if any part of the image assigned to Input A is
transparent, Input B will show through).

Hint: Many virtual sets require LiveMatte settings to be applied to Input A. Input B does not support keying.

To select a different LiveSet, click the Add button at the right-hand end of this field line, opening a custom Media
Browser
(Figure 63).

The Location List of the Media Browser lists any installed LiveSet groups under the heading “LiveSets”. Select an
entry beneath to show thumbnail icons in the Browser’s File Pane.

Virtual Inputs provide LiveSet with a new standard of flexibility, allowing you to easily and flexibly assign inputs
from the Virtual Input tab(s), without Switcher involvement*.

*Hint: One special case is when you select FX as a LiveSet input. Conveniently, this allows you to use the Switcher
to change the input without either interfering with other common Switcher operations or accessing the
corresponding Virtual Input tab.
