Figure 55
In Figure 55 we see both Overlay channels applied to form a two-tier ‘lower-third’ title
composition. The background for the composition is a modified version of one of the supplied
title pages (displayed in the Titles player). A looping globe animation (playing from the DDR ) is
overlaid on top of the title.
Hint: This two layer title is displayed in front of live talent in a greenscreen set, which – with
LiveMatte enabled – finally appears above a ‘location shot’ (in this case, a still image).
Let’s recreate this overlay (using any live camera input you have handy as a backdrop
(alternatively, you can use a
Network source or even Black for now).
1. Click the appropriate button for the background video on the Switcher’s Program Row
(this selection will substitute for the airport shot seen in Figure 55).
2. Click the DDR and Titles tabs.
3. Click Add in the DDR tab to open the Media Browser we used earlier.
4. Click the NewTek location in the column at left. Select the icon named Earth Spin.avi
(under “Animations”) in the pane at right, and click OK to add it to the DDR playlist (this
is the animation clip we will display in front of our title text).
