Create a custom channel
6. In the
Text
field, specify the overlay text you want to add to the layout. Use your own text and any
combination of the shortcut codes listed at the end of this procedure.
For example
: Use this string:
%A %B %d, %G. Live streaming channel Auto A.
to obtain these results (
Thursday February 26, 2015. Live streaming channel Auto A.
):
7. Use the font drop down to select the size of your text.
8. For best results, select the
Keep aspect ratio when scaling
checkbox from the
Text settings
box.
(This is selected by default.)
9. In the layout area, use the mouse or the manual position value fields to position and resize your text
overlay. (You may first need to change the height of the text box handles before you can proceed with
resizing or positoning.) See the note below for more information on positioning techniques.
10. If needed, re-order the items in your layout by clicking and dragging items in the item list (under the
Add new item
link).
For example, if you added your overlay text before adding a video source, the video source
conceals the overlay text. To fix it, drag the overlay text item above the video source item in the
list, or vice-versa.
11. When your layout is complete, scroll to the bottom of the page and click
Save
to save your work.
