Text cue
Puts words on a video output.
Settings
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Text | What is displayed |
| Font | A font file you upload, or one already in the library |
| Size | In pixels at the output’s own resolution |
| Colour | The text colour |
| Alignment | Horizontal (left / center / right) and vertical (top / middle / bottom) |
| Offset | Nudges the text, as a fraction of the output’s size |
| Output | Which video output it displays on |
| Level | Opacity, 0–100% |
How it runs
Stays up until something stops it. Fadeable, not seekable. The font travels with the show: the output window loads the same font file from the media cache.
Invalid without text, without a font, or with no video output configured or picked.
Scripting
The most scriptable cue there is: text, fontFamily, fontSize,
textColor, align, valign, offsetX, offsetY, plus tint,
brightness, contrast, saturation, level and duration. See
properties.
const WORDS = ['THREE', 'TWO', 'ONE'];
