Free Animated Lower Thirds with Dockable Control Panel v.1.6

[Kumanatsu]

I like your plug in but...
It is normal that the browser panel alone use 20-25% of my CPU?
Even when the title are not shown.
(While streaming and recording at FullHD resolution my CPU use 10%)
This look very strange to me. And make the plugin unusable in production situation.

Hi,
Thanks for your extraordinary job! I didn't understand how to use hotkeys to call the individual slots. I can activate and deactivate Lower Third 1,2,3 or 4. But if I want to start directly Slot 3 of Lower Third 1, I can only display the Lower Third 1 and not the slot 3. I am attaching a video to explain to me:

- YouTube

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Hi, It seems that the Hotkeys are overlapping.
Try a key combination that doesn't include any other combination. (eg. Ctrl+Shift+Alt+1 includes Ctrl+Shift+1).
An option could be Ctrl+Shift+1 for LT1 and Ctrl+Alt+1 for Memory Slot 1

Hope it helps you!

i have a problem with the fonts, i uploaded the font succesfully but after a couple of times i activate the lower thirds, the font just resets and the custom font is still selected but the text is in standart font.
to fix it i have to re-add the custom font

these are the settings, i have it enabled as you see, but it doesnt work after a couple times of use.

Custom fonts only work with Google Fonts. You cannot use system fonts.
if not your case, what font are you trying to add?

Can someone help? My Lower Third 1, 2, 3 and 4 sections show up red. I'm using windows. Have done everything by the tutorial.
Where's the problem? Thanks.

Hi! It could be many things.
Have you added browser-source.html file to the scene? Have you turned on the Main Switch?

Hello! There's very little left to publish Version v1.6. And in addition to many other new features, the code has been rewritten with the main purpose of solving the performance of the tool.
I hope that with these changes you notice the improvement. ^^

Yes, I've done all that. :D Don't know why the sections still show up red.

I'm having a problem. I have followed all procedures. when I activate main and lower third 1, but the animation doesn't appear. I have written the name in the column. What is the problem? thank youView attachment 65734

I tried to get the same behaviour somehow, but the only way I get this is when I put in wrong size informations (see yellow circles) so that it is shown outside the visible frame. Does the timer (red) start when you activate LT1?

Any chance that you can add an option to change the thickness of the separating line?

Plugin isn't working with any images for me. The plugin and control panel itself work, but I've tried multiple images. None work?

Hi, to use custom images, remember to put these images in LOGOS folder. Could it be that you have forgotten this step?

Thank you NoeAL for this new version. Makes the tool again more flexible and user friendly. The tool's controls also seem more responsive. Is that possible?

(Don't forget to add a 'System' theme option at some time....) :-)

The sections still show up red on me. I have the control panel as deck in OBS and browser source in sources.

What could be wrong?

The name and info fields are required. Try writting text inside one of them at least.

Perfect! Now it works as I expected. Thanks

NoeAL, I'm hearing back from a few creators that the LUA script that powers the hotkeys returns a permissions error. What do you think is causing this prompt?

1. Could it be a PC user permission issue?
2. Could it be the result of the code trying to do something against the will of the PC?

My goal is to provide a solution for these users.

still any ideas? I´d love to have the hotkey available but cannot get over the annoyoing permission....

 

[joka2002]

Store the entire directory outside of system files (e.g. "c:\Program Files").

suffer the same issue! still got over it?

 

[Guacho09]

suffer the same issue! still got over it?

Can you post an image with the error please? And can you explain us in which moment the error appears?

Thanks!
