Motion Lower Thirds

[RadarGaming]

In a few weeks I plan to update the lower thirds for my podcast On The Radar. I am using Wirecast on a pretty beefy machine and a would like to use motion lower thirds instead of normal .PNG's. Has anyone else tried using the motion lower thirds in Wirecast and what was the result?

Thanks

I tried about 2 years ago. It worked fine. I created animated lower thirds in After Effects (AE) and exported it as a Quicktime file. (Lossless + alpha, if I remember correctly. It did no lag.) If you need help with this setting, let me know. I'll try to provide screen captured images of the AE settings and final image on Wirecast.

I have never tried it or seen anyone use it with Wirecast. Does anyone here have examples of it?

I would post a link, but I am on a bus (can't access YouTube). I am pretty sure Stephen from TheTechBuzz posted a video about animated lower third videos. Try to find it on YouTube.

Been wondering about the same thing.

For animated lower thirds I've found that transparent quicktime files work extremely well. Just make sure to make sure the video doesnt loop and put wither a hold or remove action on the end action of the file. Here is a test video from a live event i did a few weeks ago here. ignore the video quality, im still working on the best video settings.
