This function requires at least a Pro License (supports only one active Live Player) or a Wings Vioso license. See also Licenses and functions.
The live players allow instantaneous playback of videos during a show. The sound is added to the existing sound track.
This is how you use the Live Player:
In the function bar below the main menu click Live players, following which a live player is opened for every video and sound track.
As a preparatory step, you can already drag an audio file and drop it into the Live player field. However, this can also be done during playback. The audio file does not necessarily need to be located in the Media Pool; you can also drag it from the Windows Explorer and drop it into the live player.
During playback the audio can be controlled via the Live player buttons Play, Pause and Stop.
In order to configure the options for playback, highlight the track head and click on tab Player in the Properties Table. The following configurations are possible:
