Hi, all —
This is probably a dumb question, but let me set it up anyway.
I work at a high school and have no budget for the LiveSet Editor license.
I recently did a live webcast of one of our basketball games, and decided to use the Space News dual-box virtual set for putting a camera in the A inset window, and a shot of the scoreboard in the B inset window*. It looked really nice, but in a conversation with a co-worker, we decided it would look nicer with a custom backdrop. Sorry to say, but only one of the double-box virtual sets included with the TriCaster actually looks nice (I forget its name, but it's a simple blue and red swirled background), and it gets too much use. The Space News screen was a departure from the norm for us, but still wasn't custom enough. The webcast version looked like this:

So I did some digging in the TriCaster, found what I believed to be the entire set of files for the Live Set in question, and Photoshopped this alternative (I did both left and right):

I got a bit worried when I imported it into Photoshop and it was only a standard-def size, but I figured maybe the TriCaster scales it nicely enough that it would still work in my video.
Well, of course, when I backed up and replaced the original graphics with my own, only the thumbnail graphics were affected; I saw my Niles West Wolves version in V1's setup area, but the onscreen graphic remained the original one.
So my question, after scouring the entire TriCaster for any high-resolution version of the original Space News Double Box graphics, remains: where do the full-res files go? Nothing in the LiveSet bin for that (or any other) set looks big enough to contain a hidden .png file that big. I've visited the other forums here, where people share their projects, and downloaded one that someone made for demonstrating iPad software. His LiveSet also had very small graphics files, yet I'm sure those were just thumbnails. I couldn't find the higher-resolution .PNGs anywhere, and the LiveSet files don't seem big enough to be hiding the full-res graphics within. Where the heck to they hide?
Let me reiterate: I have no budget to buy LiveSet Editor, or any paid training or third-party/cutom sets. This was just an experiment, but it's one I think I can complete if I find the right graphic to alter.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
