Let’s import a few files that we’ll use later in our walkthrough:
FIGURE 35
4. Click the Import Media button at lower-right.
5. Click Add in Import Media (Figure 36) to open a system File Explorer.
4. Navigate to C:\TriCaster\Documentation\Walkthrough Content.
5. Press Ctrl + a (to multi-select everything in the folder shown in the File Explorer) – then click Open, adding these items to the file pane of the Import Media panel.
6. Click Import – different media types are automatically sorted into the correct destination folders as they are imported. We’ll use these files later (see also Section 5.3.3).
Hint: Although you might well never even notice, a two minute initialization period begins after you start (or re-start) TriCaster.
This ‘warm-up’ period allows the system to stabilize, ensuring consistent performance of various components (for example, video clips playing in the DDR before the end of initialization could skip some frames).
We are ready now to commence our tour of the Live Desktop, beginning with further consideration of monitoring features and options.
