Hello everyone it's me again Richard Evans
back for another edition of NewTek Tuesday Tutorials
and I got a request from a viewer yes I, do read your comments,
asking about how to make custom transitions with audio.
Now inside every TriCaster is an application called
Animation Store Creator and that's where you can go to take the animations that
you've made in your favorite animation software
to create your own transitions and animated buffers to export for use
inside the Tricaster. And in previous videos we've shown how to create those
but this time we're going to show you how to incorporate a sound effect into
your transitions. Kind of like this. Alright so this is the TriCaster
TC1 interface and I need to show you where to access Animation Store Creator
which if on our main menu we skip new session
and open session and we'll go to add-ons first one on this list will be our
Animation Store Creator Advanced Edition for my particular
TriCaster here. All right and this is Animation Store
Creator so this is where you can go in to either create
some different transitions or let's say
a frame buffer animation etc here and so you basically will go here to load in
different image sequences that you can create
in say Adobe After Effects and then or your favorite
other animation creation software and bring those in
to here. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to make a wipe that I've
already created and so I can just go ahead and under my
effects we'll just keep that as a wipe all right and then my overlay animation
I'm going to go ahead and grab a frame sequence
here by clicking on this drop-down let's select a file
and I'm going to navigate to my file path where I have this
image sequence that I have created
all right and all you have to do is just select the very first
image in the image sequence and that will stitch
all of them together for you. Alright so I have part one of my
animation here and if I scroll through the timeline
here at the bottom of the screen. Let's go ahead and do that real quick
you'll see that I have my animation coming through
of my face! Oh it's lovely. All right now I need to fix this because as you can
see I have my A and B layer it starts right here so I
need to make a different point and since this doesn't go
completely across the screen I need to make a matte point here which I've also
created in After Effects. So I'll go to my wipe
sequence and let's go ahead and select that all
right so let me just back up and I'll grab the
matte sequence that I've made and that'll load it in the same way so
this will load behind the animation that I have done and let's
go ahead and load that up. Cool and if I scroll through here check
it out still in the A layer and then once my face gets over here
now my matte layer comes into effect so that's going to have my layer A
and layer B all right so the next thing i want to show here now is that's just
the animation that I have in here and if I just
exported it right now it would just be the animation.
So let's go ahead and take a look now at the next box which is
audio so you have an option here for flying it on and flying it off. So let me
go ahead and find that file that I had for myself
all right so i have one for flying off and then let me also grab it for flying
on all right so it'll play the same thing no matter which way I go.
Okay so let's go ahead and if I go through obviously we can't hear anything
now and but this is tied together with the
animation that I have so let's go ahead and save my beautiful
mug here by clicking on the set effect icon.
At the very bottom and now I have an image of what this transition is going
to be like so that when I export it to my TriCaster I can pull it up pretty
quick. All right so now let's go up to the top of the screen
and let's select file. Now we need to save this as an
Animation Store Creator file so let's go ahead and go to save
and let me go ahead and i'm just going to save that to my D drive.
And let's just call that richard's face
transition. Okay so now I just saved it but now let's go ahead and export it
to use within our productions. So if I go back up to file here
there's a couple ways that I can do that I can either create an installer
right here and what that will do is it will create an exe files that I can then
export and send to send it to another TriCaster, put it on a thumb drive
for example and then you can install that on any TriCaster system.
Or let's go ahead and hit export here
and this gives me option to export it to this machine and if I click on that that
will basically just render out this transition to my
TriCaster and I won't have to do anything else.
So let's go ahead and do that and it'll create my effects.
All right now that that is done let's go ahead and go back up to the top
file and we'll exit and let's go ahead and open up a session so we can load
this bad boy in. I'm going to launch my Tuesday Tutorial
recording session here.
Start live production.
Okay so this is my Tuesday Tutorial recording session
and the next thing that I want to do is show you where to get this transition
that we just exported to the TriCaster and then load it here
for us to use. To do that let's go and click on this
box here in the middle and this is where I have
my nine different presets for transitions to use so I can
click on this and just have quick access to different
transitions. Now the first two here by default are loaded as my cut
and fade those are just your default ones but the other seven of these
these are ones that I can click on this plus button and select
any transition that is installed onto the system like the one that we just
made. So let's click on plus and if I scroll
down here in this media browser these are all the different transitions that
come with the system here but I want to find
mine and by default that is going to be under animation
stores and user and there we go there's my face.
Let's go ahead and click on that all right and then now that it's loaded
in here I have a little preview of that so now all I have to do is do an auto
transition to my next shot and let's check it out
transition. Ah it's lovely it's lovely okay now I
have the audio in here now but what I wanted to also show you is
where the audio lives. Because you have it with a transition
it's attached to that. So where is that coming to let's say
that we wanted to route that transition somewhere or mute it for
example or you know do some processing to it that
is going to live within our audio mixer under effects. So it's going to be right
between our auxiliaries and then also our DDR players here
so if I click on effects this is where I can go
to either do some panning I can also do some processing in here
also some routing if I need to route this over to a different auxiliary.
Let's go ahead and clear that out of auxiliary 2 just for example okay.
So I've muted all the other audio coming into my system.
But let's go ahead and let's make that transition and keep your eye
on this VU meter for effects and also all of these.
And it's going to not appear in my auxiliary 2 because I did that routing.
So let's go ahead and do that transition again.
Amazing isn't technology wonderful? The things I get paid to do.
transition so if you didn't know how to do it before
you do now and knowing is half the battle. Now if you want a copy of this
transition ... I don't know why you would but if you do
