I pressed every button on the keyboard, and there didn't seem to be one that would switch the Chroma Key on/off.

Is there a way to change the keyboard shortcuts in include that on the Tricaster?

In your private message, you asked me for TriCaster Pro shortcuts.

The documentation should have these listed:

Keyer Off ........................................... Alt k
Toggle Luma Black Key ............................... Alt b
Toggle Luma White Key .............................. Alt w
Toggle Chroma Key .............................. Ctrl Alt c
Toggle Linear Black Key ........................ Ctrl Alt b
Toggle Linear White Key ........................ Ctrl Alt w
(Toggle will turn off any active keyer mode)

I added these in Pro, but they are not available on TriCaster.

If you spend some time in the scripting forum you could probably add these to TriCaster as well.

If you spend some time in the scripting forum you could probably add these to TriCaster as well.John: Does the TriCaster ToasterScripting engine support the FindModule() function? If so, what are the differences in module names (from the VT ones you've listed in the VT-Script forum)? If not, will your SendScript script (also from the VT-Script forum) work on the TriCaster (then again, I still need to know the module names, don't I?)?

I've managed to copy the Initialization.ToasterScript from a TCPro to a TC, so I can verify that the shortcut keys you mention above work just fine, but what I really *want* to do is create one keystroke for (here we go again with the instant replay :)):

-disable chroma key
-put camera 3 (my replay source) in 'next'
-select a transition
-and auto

In order to do this, it seems like I need to do it from the Live_Tab level (or thereabouts) and use references to the keyer and switcher modules. But I've tried every name I can think of to refer to the Keyer tab (including and especially "LiveKeyer") and nothing has worked.

Does that make sense? Any thoughts? Anybody?

Thanks. Merry Christmas, all.

Hi there,
I think I'm struggling in the same way you were years ago!
Did you find an elegant way to get the keyer on or off and then cue up your next source?
I think I can do it using a combination of toaster script and auto it, but that's pretty nasty, I'd much rather do it with just toasterscript.
Anyways I'd love to hear ifyou have any old scripts lying around that you used on the TC (not the tricaster pro)
Cheers,
Andru
