TriCaster Live Production Screen: TriCaster has already proven itself as an industry favorite for live presentation, given its flexibility in mixing cameras, clips, titles and then sending it simultaneously to video out, projector and live Internet stream. Here's a power-tip for your next TriCaster event: adding slo-mo to VCR playback! NewTek has endeavored to include as many keyboard shortcuts into the interface as possible, such as the standard windows keys for copy, cut and paste (ctrl-c, ctrl-v, ctrl-x, respectively) and what are known as the 'JKL keys'. JKL keys are industry standard keystrokes to manipulate playback of selected devices. The 'k' key toggles stop/play, and the keys on either side will affect that device's play speed. The 'j' key will progressively slow down playback, and (as you might have already guessed) the 'l' key speeds up playback. The problem with changing speeds on-air is that each different speed causes a minor pause in playback, as the new speed is set, but there's a way around that, by setting the target speed first.
In this case, load several clips in TriCaster VCR, and with the VCR in preview mode, tap k so the VCR is playing your clip at normal speed. With a clip that has some fairly constant motion (such as the AmericanFlag.avi loaded on NTSC TriCasters), tap the 'j' key, and it will toggle to 75% playback speed. Tap it once again, and your clip is now playing back at half speed.
With the clip now playing back at half speed, click on the VCR pause button, and then activate the Cue function. Now, when you perform a Take or Auto to roll in your clip, it will play back at this slower speed.

These questions and answers will be posted with full recognition. The postings will only be edited for improper usage. This is being done for fun in an effort to share knowledge about our industry. Q "I have Premiere Pro in a Windows based system and 6.5 Adobe The camera I have is a Panasonic dvx100 why does the Firewire not work? They will not communicate with each other. " A "With out getting into great detail. I would make sure when connecting the DVX100 to the computer you get new hardware found or at least you should see the DVX100 show up in the hardware manager indicating a level of communication between hardware and computer. If not then there may be a possible failure with the Firewire ports in either the DVX100 or the computer." More to come in our Next issue.
