Studio 2A (complete multi-angle pack)

This is the Complete Studio 2A Multi-angle Pack which contains all seven separate camera angles – wide, mid left, mid, mid right, left, right and centre. (These angles are also available separately).

This pack gives you a comprehensive set of camera angles for one or two (and possibly more) anchors, presentations using the large monitor screens, or discussions around the desk, with the newsroom visible behind with depth of field added. The desk and the monitor screens are each removable.

These are virtual sets for green screen use – compatible with TriCaster VSE, vMix and most graphics and editing systems (After Effects, Premiere Pro, Final Cut, and more).

The Photoshop + PNG packs include ready made full frame backgrounds in lossless PNG format that can easily be dropped into OBS, Wirecast or similar, or used as virtual backgrounds for Zoom calls, Microsoft Teams etc. You also get every single layer from the Photoshop document saved as a separate PNG image with transparency.

The Photoshop version includes separate layers for the newsroom and the railings, and a complete group of layers for each of the monitor screens. These groups includes a separate layer for the red section of the monitor stand which lets you adjust the colour to align with your branding. You can turn the red section off to reveal a neutral (white) version behind it. There is also a subtle ‘surface’ layer that adds a hint of the studio lighting spilling on to the screen. You can adjust this to suit, or hide it completely.

The desk is removable. The desk is in a group containing several separate layers for the coloured elements and reflections in the floor and riser surface.

The lightboxes and the coloured neon strip lighting are also separate layers that can be adjusted independently. You can also turn off the entire floor riser group if needed.

The vMix version has some layers combined into a single ‘midground’ layer, and the screen stand colour and surface are also combined into a single ‘screen surround’ layer. If you need to adjust or customise those layers individually, then you may want to choose the ‘vMix + Photoshop’ format, as this will give you access to the original 4K Photoshop version where you can adjust each of those layers separately. The monitor screen can still be turned on and off within vMix, and of course the screen content and the newsroom background are both dynamic layers that you can assign to your own sources.

For the wide angle – in order to allow you to choose which monitor screens are visible, while still staying within vMix’s overlay limit, we have actually given you FOUR different variations (left screen only, right screen only, both screens, no screens).

The TriCaster versions come with the newsroom background and example screen content shown, but if you turn those layers off in VSE, you’ll find dynamic layers behind them that you can assign with your own Inputs. They’re both assigned to Input B by default, but if you have more inputs available, you can assign them to C or D. If not, you can still assign them each with a new static image of your own. The TriCaster version is also supplied with talent layers behind, and in front of (i.e. ‘over’) the desk. Just remember to hide the Live Inputs you aren’t using within Virtual Set Editor, before exporting to your TriCaster. All the other layers from the regular Photoshop version are also present in the TriCaster version which you will be able to adjust independently within VSE.

Animating newsroom loops

Included as part of this multi-angle pack are a set of animations of the background newsroom layer. These looping videos will add a little bit of life and movement to the monitor screens for added realism. You get a set of MP4 videos at HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) and 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) resolution. Each one loops seamlessly so you can extend them indefinitely.

If you are creating your studio in an editing package, you can use the full frame video newsroom loops as the background for your comp. There are seven video loops in all, each one named with the camera angle at the end of the filename – for example ‘newsroom-loop-red-4K-wide.mp4’ is the full-frame 4K video background for the ‘wide’ angle.

vMix and Tricasters users can use a single video loop for all the angles. It is a special widescreen view of the newsroom, originally rendered at three times the width of a 16×9 video, then scaled in x by one third. When it is fed into the relevant UV gradient layer, it will be mapped correctly for each angle – so you can use the same video loop (‘newsroom-loop-red-4K-xscale33pc.mp4’) for all of the different angles.

NOTE: These video loops are only available as part of this multi-angle pack!
