Make the graphic.
Own the moment.
Real-time graphics for live production. Build your templates, prepare their content and control exactly what reaches Program.
A template you can use
throughout the show.
Combine text, shapes, media and timers. Use variables where content changes, without rebuilding the design for every cue.
Set the timing
Adjust entry and exit transitions, delays and layer timing. Scrub the timeline to check each moment.
Keep content flexible
Use one lower-third template for an entire guest list. Each cue keeps its own data and operator notes.
Preview is preparation.
Program is on air.
Load the next cue into Preview while other graphics remain on Program. Rehearse its entry and exit, check the values, then press Take.
When Auto update is off, prepared text and template changes wait for Update. Shared timer controls are different: they act on the timer source, including linked objects already on air.
Understand the Live controls →- Preview
- Load a cue for preparation.
- Take
- Run its entry animation on Program.
- Update
- Publish prepared changes.
- Out
- Run the exit animation and remove the cue.
A rundown you can prepare in advance
Use one template for several cues without duplicating the design. Keep a guest's name and role, a set of variable presets and the operator's notes with the cue they belong to.
- Arrange cues in named, color-coded groups.
- Collapse a group without hiding its on-air cues.
- Load saved variable presets when the content needs to change.
Route Program and Preview
to separate displays
Choose the displays in Output → Set output. Keep either output disabled when it is not needed, or assign separate key displays for a fill/key workflow.
Display changes must be confirmed within 10 seconds. Use the test card to check the route before sending graphics.
Set up and check your outputs →Data and operator controls
- Variables
- Keep text styling in the template and supply different values for each cue.
- Collections
- Link rankings to named data sources. Each collection keeps its own row design, layout, sorting and animation. Read the collections guide.
- MIDI and shortcuts
- Configure control mappings for operation. MIDI controls are inactive in Edit.
- Audio
- Choose independent devices for Program and Preview, and mute Preview when rehearsal audio should not be heard.
