Together with Composition Builder, ToolsOnAir provides you with a realtime graphics template package. It can be used to test and demonstrate some features of the FX layers.

Warning

It is possible that some of the templates Some templates that are provided with this template package may not play properly depending on the hardware, the playout Playout resolution and some other parameters which are used for testing.

  1. Open the just:play and just:live or disk image (DMG).

    Double-click the “Install Template Package” icon to install the templates into the “Pictures” folder of the current macOS user. This folder is the default graphics repository of a standard just:live/just:play installation.

Note
  • The templates are resolution-independent, i.e. you can use them in SD 16:9, HD-ready, Full-HD and even UHD playoutsplayout scenarios. The templates cannot be used in SD 4:3, though.

  • Please note that the playout hardware may impose restrictions on the usable resolution, i.e. a playout which barely handles UHD video cannot handle an additional UHD graphics template.
