• Live production is content creation in real time.

•
• Auto – same as take but allows as fade or dissolve as a
transition effect.
•
•
• session – folder for all media-
•
• can right click- and delete it
•
•
• ntfs drive- get a black drive- wd black.
•
• when fire up the system- - can create new session - or new-
then create template use template
•
• can set drive where it will be downloaded
•
• cameras are set to 1080i – project should be set to 1080i
•
• use manage- to backup the session- not leave the
•
• STAY OUT OF THE C: DRIVE- DON’T DOWNLOAD FILES OR
UPLOAD – STAY OUT!!!!!! - IT’S A SMALL DRIVE-
•
• can use the input- hue to fix basic color correction on the fly if
you need to.
•
• can adjust the area allotted to the monitor vs assets areas. up
and down so you can have
•
• playback controls
• arrows- advance to next clips
•
• add media- media browser- left and right – hold down shift key
to select more than one. – when you press the plus button- it points to the
thumb drive if that is where you
•
• media off of a usb stick- - usb stick in the machine. Front is
usb2 only- slower import
• press plus button on bottom left
• the plus button defaults to ordinary media locations- not the usb
thumb drive
•
• when you click browse – it will open normal windows explorer
data interface
• you have to know what is on your usb stick-
• you should do this prior to production- you need to test out
video files within the tricaster to make sure they work.
• click on root director of media drive- such as f - in root directory
of any media drive- click on media drive- then right click and make new
folder call it improted media for what ever the session name is. – thenclick
open so it will import it
•
• create a folder on root of media drive. - - ie d,e,f, but NOT C
drive.- the risk is that little by little – c drive becomes full and does not have
any swap and will fill up and tricaster will start to have issues.
•
• when playing video clips- it plays with blue if longer than 10
seconds- at 10 seconds it turns yellow- and at 5 seconds it turns red. So the
director can let the talent know in 5,4,3,2,1
•
• bottom right- single- vs auto play.-
•
• auto play. – check single and auto play.
•
• within the ddr- the numbers on the left and right are presets-
•
• rundown- individual news pieces- then we go to a commercial
break-
• preset 2 could have commercials- on left and right of ddr’s are
presets- 1 through what ever number allow us to organize b-roll by section
or playlists- so that we can see all at any given time.

need to get RUNDOWN CREATOR!!!!!!

assistant director/ assistant td- make the change and move the right clips to
the right places

when we add videos to the ddr’s it is only a pointer

can make in and out points for the clips within the ddr. – this is how you can
break a long clip up without using quicktime- by making additional version
of it-with new in and out points.

D, e, f,

sports-
go to break- so you can get a transition for getting the coach on the phone-
sports clips go in ddr1- toss back and forth- then commercial break is in
ddr2- press autoplay and loop (loop is a safety so if there is a delay you
won’t go to black
auto play- it will goto the last previously selected item that is on preview

students need to know how to both use the preview bus and take/auto (take
Is a direct cut – auto has what ever preset transition is there)
sports and other fast paced shows use hot punching (where you directly
press the cameras. )

• - review on switcher- presentation.

green is preview-
red is program

editing- media creation-

2 schools of thought
shoot each scene individually- old school- literally glue film together and
assemble it

now- record to hard drive - - final cut pro- final cut blows
most college sports uses tricaster 8000-
larger shows superbowl- same but more buttons

ddr- digital disk recorder- should be called media player.

GFX- graphics- - full screen graphics. Still frames –

alpha channel- transparent background- png- tiff- psd-

we are suppose to have advanced edition- it isn't installed

can do slideshow with auto play- 5 seconds

change – camera transition- click/shutter at end for photo of the week

don’t change ddr preset or gfx 1 preset on the fly-

use graphics one preset 1 then graphics two preset 1 so you can organize
files while the other is playing- then you can got to gfx1 preset 2

downstream keyer-
used to be black card with white text on top- they keyed out to black and
what ever was black was transparent

down stream meaning after the switch

key – remove object from background

downstream key is right of the main switch

checkerboard is common indicator of transparent area of image.

bacon on top of bread- blt sandwich

downstream key to composite

it is a downstream key because it happens after the main switch-
4 layers of downstream dsk

dsk 1 – set to gfx 1 for lower third

dsk2 is set to camera 4 – for ots when position icon is blue- a position or
scale has been set.

if they plan=- need to visualize and plan entire show ahead of time.

need to make large prints of locations as if people were there to create

scenerios where someone is at.

currently- switch is only changing the background because bkgd is

hlighlinged
control click on dsk and dsk keys to click them to manually add them- you
can also use the dsk one and to to the riht rof the main t-bar.

• new blue effects- titling- stand alone generator- 495- street

•
Buffer- with graphics we can put in things like the time is, and the show will
start in x time.
buffers –use so we don’t use up a gfx for something is on the whole time.
Bufers0 only on far right by ddr2
priority of positiong in buffer – can do stills or animated buffers – sequ3ntial
file- brought into animation store creator and then it creaes a newteck
media file. – it can go to frame buffer animation
buffers could be useful for
want to render up a 300 frame animation with alpha channel and it can be
brought in. adobe after effects or apple motion.

buffers- 10 animated and 5 stills anomatied top 10 stills – bottom 5

buffers- parking lots for graphics you use all the time (vs show specific
graphics

to bring own titles in to lower thirds

live text software- - live text is horrible- but it can be used to bring in our
own graphic and edit text on the fly- good for low staffed show
 • - compix or new blue fx is better for
• - livetext- go to file- then add files- navigate to where psd is
located
• - file will only see *.cg files- so you have to change it to *.*
once you put the text on there- then choose file- then save all pages to live.
- the type of the file- is .cgxml NOT_ PNG
can install stystem fonts- comic sans and payparus

custom transition-

novation launchpad. - - will show on wed- costs 99 dollars

warp a and warp b-

need to create the transaation using 3d software- lightwave, blender,
aftereffects, maya, 3d studio max and – export file out of 3d animation
program. – think sports nfl replay transation-

overlay ?
sequential file with alpha channel the point where the background is totally
opauque is when you select the cut frame in the
football come in one direction- then out is a team logo.
Can also set audio fly on and fly off –
can create on one machine and then bring it to another machine.

effect tipey- animated buffer- set to loop.

can do quicktime movie, but sequential image files gives better quality

in after effects- then add light effect- light slash- - at frame 8 start here then
move across. – animated buffer has to be created in animation store creator
– - animation store creator is to compile buffers- the creative design is
actually done in after effects or other 3d software create virtual sets-
to import your file go to buffer animations- then user –
if you hover over the graphic when trying to import, you can see where the
file actually lives.
