Lower Thirds vertical Text alignment

[captainsalvos]

Hey Anthony, can you please give us the option to vertically centre the text in the lower thirds, and to change the position at which the midline is placed?

Hi @captainsalvos, I've had a bit of a go at this, but again I'm hitting up against limitations in Tkinter.

If you specify the option "LowerThirdHeight": 200 (for example) it will centre align the lower third text within a 200 pixel box at the bottom of the screen.

However, if the text goes across too many lines, it will just cut off.

The usual alignment and padding options still apply.

Have a play and see if it's helpful at all.

Hey. Thanks mate.

I’ll have a look but I have revised my plans since I only have a single upstream chroma key and this means I can’t overlay the text on the lower third graphic like I wanted.

I had the graphic keyed in one of the DSKs and the text in the Upstream chroma key. This put the text behind the graphic. :(.

Unfortunately our switcher only has one chroma keyer. :(

@captainsalvos you can use it as a pre-multiplied key , which should allow you to use a downstream keyer (at least if you're using the black magic Television studio

I’ll try that again. We are using the ATEM production studio 4K.
