Graphics

Hello,

I'm trying to replicate a template that was made for us where a "picture-in-picture" OTS that plays live video scales up so that the OTS live video becomes fullscreen. The scaling animation part seems simple enough, but I'm wondering if anyone can give me some insight into the best way to accomplish this or even help me investigate how to this template was made. I don't see anything in scripts or scene directors that jump out at me and I'm not familiar with transition logic so I'm not sure where to look there.

Would it make sense to just have the video scale up, then have the whole template stay online? What would be the most logical way to take the scene offline in that case?

Thanks in advance

Hi Robert,

It all depends on how your workflow. If the scene will always be played in the same way, you could just use one single Scene Directorand just use pause-events in the Scene Director.

You could then have three animation controllers:

• one for the in-animation of the OTS

• one for the full-screen animation 

• one for the out-animation (such as a fade or a cut)

In between those three animation you could place Pause-events so you can control when the video becomes full-screen.

There are ofcourse other options with Transition Logic but those are a bit more complicated.

Thanks Kenneth,

That sounds great. I was thinking of having to do a transition logic solution, but this seems like it would work for the template and would be more my speed. I'll try it out.

Appreciate the response.
