Hello everyone and welcome to NewTek Tuesday Tutorials. I am your host Richard Evans. Make sure
that you like, comment and subscribe. So today I'd like to show you how to use the TriCaster control
panel to control the virtual camera inside of your virtual sets. Now this will allow
you to line up shots just the way you want with a tactile feel so let's dive in and take a look .
Alright so I'm going to start off in the TriCaster TC1 interface and show you how to adjust the
virtual camera positioning within the interface before I move over to the control panel. Alright
so to do that first let me show you I have mix effect number two which is what I'll be working
with punched up on program and preview so that we can take a look at that shot as I do some
changes to it and I have mix effect 2 expanded here so that we can get a hold of the controls.
All right so we're going to ignore all of this over here that's just going to be what's on
our layer a and layer b of the virtual set and here is where we're going to be
adjusting the positioning of our camera. So we have this T-bar here and this T-bar will control
the zoom aspect of our virtual cameras so you'll just left-click on that hold it down on your mouse
and there we go we can zoom into that shot. All right now of course I can only do the zoom this
way so I need to adjust the positioning of that so I'll use the you guessed it ... positioning
right here underneath that. So you'll see when I hover my mouse above that,
my cursor turns into a little cross and then I can just left click, hold it down and then move it up
and position that the way I want it to. Alright so that's looking good so review,
T-bar controls the zoom and position controls the positioning. Alright so now let's move over to the
TriCaster control panel here, here we go I'm working with my two stripe control panel
and so all the controls for the virtual camera
within your virtual sets are going to be controlled by this joystick over here in
the top right. Now we need to tell the joystick what we're going to be controlling. Alright so
there's two ways to assign it one thing that I can do is I can have this joystick control whatever
stripe is assigned up here at the top. So to review to do that we'll hit delegate stripe here
in the control panel and then I'm using mix effect number two. So we'll hit mix effect number two
and then I can say follow stripe here in the top right and now we are good to go. So now all the
positioning will be done here. So let me go ahead and zoom in here real quick all right. So I have
follow stripe currently selected that's one way to do it, me personally I find it easier to just
simply click on the mix effect that I want to use up here. So that way I can have my top stripe
be assigned to anything I want and I don't have to worry about going through making sure that's
echoed it, but again your show your call. All right so I have mix effect 2 selected if I hit
that one that will start to assign you know make changes to mix effect number one. So we don't want
to do that for this example we'll stay on expect number two. All right now over here on the right
this is what the positioning is going to be controlling via this joystick so these A, B, C
and D that just to review that's going to let you control the positioning of your four layers within
your virtual sets. If they have four layers or your four layer sets or just you know however it's
configured A B C and D and then this will control your downstream here so your upstream keyers on
your mix effects, but keynote here we have to press live set here and now I am controlling
mix effect number two's live set position and scale. All right so that's kind of how you're
going to read that and then to zoom into your shot you'll grab your joystick and twist it to
the right and that will zoom in twist it to the left and it'll zoom out and then you can
zoom in here again and you can use your joystick then push it up and that'll push it up
down left right all around there you go. So this allows you to have a nice tactile feel
of your virtual camera instead of having to go through and use the interface to do all that you
can do it directly from this lovely control panel here. So as you can see using the control panel to
control your virtual camera in your virtual sets is a quick and easy way to make your shots look
super nice. Now if you like this video and would like to see similar tutorial videos on NewTek
