6.8.3 LIVESET POWER
We’ve barely scratched the surface of what LiveSet can do. The Scene menu reveals numerous
other useful and varied options, and product updates may bring new additions. Let’s consider a
few of the entries it provides to get the idea.
Note as you scroll down the Scene listing, a convenient fly-out panel shows a thumbnail
representation for each selection.
One item is Double Boxes. This Scene group
permits you to place two of TriCaster’s video
sources, (whether live cameras, iVGA displays,
or DDR content) in side by side panels on the
screen.
While these effects can loosely be classed as ‘picture-in-picture’
effects, they go far beyond the norm. Great looking 3D frames
surround your video, with gorgeous professional backdrops.
Experiment with these and you’ll quickly get the idea.
Many of TriCaster’s effects take two inputs, as in this case. The first Input, or primary source is
determined by your selection in the main Input menu of the Input Setup panel. When
appropriate, the second video source is generally designated by the Effects Row selection in the
Switcher.
The Spark set from the Double Boxes list is shown in Figure 83. Notice that when you select it,
the previously blank quad panel beneath is activated.
