LiveSet is one of TriCaster’s most powerful tools, and can dramatically enhance a production.
With it you can achieve the look of a large, sophisticated studio setting (Figure 14-14) within a very small
studio space (Figure 14-13), all without the need for external equipment.
Broadly speaking, setup of a LiveSet effect is much like the Default effects previously considered (see Default
Effects, Section 14.2.2). A typical LiveSet consists of a greenscreen shot (usually input A) with LiveMatte
applied composited into a virtual set. LiveSet adds the foreground and background for the scene, and
additional video inputs may add to the effect in various ways.
Hint: Most virtual sets require LiveMatte settings to be applied to Input A. Other inputs may also require
keying, depending on the design of the virtual set.
To select a LiveSet, click the label above the effect icon in the M/E to open the Media Browser (Section 11.2.2).
