Selfresizing Lower Third

[Dubmeyer]

Hi,
I´ve a question: Is it possible, to create selfresizing lower thirds for the Tricaster? I mean a lower third that expands automatically the longer the text is.
I can´t find any information in the manual or on the website about that (sorry, when I´m too blind ).

I tried it with AE and LiveGraphicsCreator, but that doesn´t work. I can load the livegfx-file into a buffer, but when I it put to the screen, nothing happens. However I´m not a graphics pro, so are there any rules I have to stick to or something? A Tutorial would be great !

Thanks in advance!

There is no function with the TriCaster title templates do this automatically. Products like Viz Flowics and Viz Trio can do this function.

On TriCaster systems that have macro variables support (TC1 Pro, TC2 Elite , Vectar), you can count the number of characters in a DataLink field and adjust the point size of the text. I don't want to say this is a perfect solution, but it does get you in the realm of what you are asking about.
