Any LIVE environment comes pre-loaded with a pack of Graphic templates available for anyone to use. These templates are ready to use, as is, or can be simply customized within LIVE using a dedicated Setup Scene (offering various branding options such as background colors, logos, etc.).

The following sections will walk you through the available templates and detail the customization options.

Two template variants are provided (Sports_Scoreboard_Count_Up, Sports_Scoreboard_Count_Down) allowing for two different clock behavior (count up or count down). These templates have a persistent clock, that continues running even when the scene is not live on air.

They are animated using transitions and the score is easily updatable using text replaceables. The exact replaceables (editable variables) available are:

Very simple Text crawl to display textual information at the bottom of the screen. The scene animates off after one pass.

The only replaceable for this scene is:

Very similar to the previous Crawl template but with an interchangeable image on the bottom left corner. The Text crawl disappears beneath the image. The scene animates off after one pass.

The exact replaceable for this scene are:

A bug graphic is of course part of the template pack. In fact there are even 4 variants of the bug graphic (BugTL, BugTR, Bug_BL, Bug_BR) in order to populate each quadrant of the screen (respectively Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right). All 4 variants are exactly the same - except for the bug position. Note they can be combined (from 2 to all 4 of them) to fill as many quandrants as desired.

The repleaceables are:

Typical picture in picture scene (Pict in Pict) with a left box or right box (or both) above a full screen video source. The box can be complemented with a short text (e.g. Team Name). The scene replaceables include:

An all times classic, the (infamous) Lower Third is available with simple options for either one or two lines of text and a nice transition between one and two lines when text gets added. The replaceables include:

Very similar to the previous one, with a replaceable image on top.

The replaceables include:

A very standard 2 box DVE enabling the routing of two sources onto the left and right box of the scene. Some options to push in or pull out the left or right video. Replaceables include:

Very similar to the standard 2 Box DVE above, except this ones comes with a text box tat appears under the right video.

Let you pick 3 video sources and route them to the left, center and right boxes.

Allows users to pick 4 video sources and route them to the top left, top right, bottom left and bottom right boxes.

A simple full screen graphic with a textured animated clip playing in the background and a replaceable text (or image) customizable in the foreground. Animates in and out. The colors are set with the setup scene pre-production but can be overridden using the scene replaceables that include:

A standard over the shoulder graphic with some customization options using replaceables:

All of the templates presented in the previous section can be used as is with the default colors and branding elements. A setup scene is also available in order to customize the look and branding of the full template pack. The setup scene is used to set global replaceable variables that are use by every scene in the pack. It means that setup the replaceable values within the setup scene will automatically update the look of all the other scenes based on those values.

Customization options include:

Using the setup scene is very simple. It is usually recommended to do it pre-production an well in advance in order to ensure the proper look is set across the board.

To set the global replaceable variables, simply move the setup scene to a playlist and edit its replaceables from the takelist module. Once the values set, simply save them in their respective field - all templates should now be using those new settings.

Note the setup scene can be loaded in a graphic preview channel in order to confirm the replaceable values are properly set and visible.
