Hotspots are configured in the configuration panels for individual inputs. Double-
click the viewport for a camera input to open this dialog, and click the LiveMatte tab.
The lower portion of this tab contains the Hotspots control group. Notice that
Hotspots can be globally enabled or disabled for the session using the switch in the
group header.
Hotspots are color-coded, and their respective colors are used to draw the Hotspot
overlay boxes on your viewports when the Hotspot Markers overlay is enabled for a
corresponding monitor viewport (see Section 10.1.1). The Scale and Position
buttons allow you to re-size and place the ‘trigger zone’ for each Hotspot accurately.
The Event button for each Hotspot, marked by a capital “E”, opens the Event
Triggers dialog. This is where you will assign macros that will be triggered when
something moves into (On Screen) or out of (Off Screen) the otherwise transparent
area defined by that Hotspot.
Hint: Use the Overlay option Flip View Horizontal to let talent see for exactly where their
marks are on the screen
