Text editing during a Live Production

To be able to use the function of editing text, it is important to generate an API identifier for the desired text since this identifier will be used in the configuration within the Automator. To learn how to add this identifier, click here.

To control a text, it is necessary to configure the block from the Automator by following the following steps, in this case, we will use the "On Cue" option:

  1. Select the "On Cue" option.

  2. Click on “Add Automation.”

  3. Select the Device you configured to connect to your graphics package.

  4. Select the "Update Control" option, which allows you to update the overlay information.

  5. Choose the Overlay in which you want to change the text.

  6. If you have one or more lines of text in your L3th, select the one you want to use (The text identifiers that you placed in Viz Flowics will be displayed).

  7. Select the block you want to use to control the text.

Once this is done, the titles placed in the block will be reflected in the graphic.
