Titling for Live Streaming and File-Based Broadcast Workflows

Scott Matics, Todor Fay

Animated titles, like lower thirds, bugs, tickers, and scoreline readouts have become a standard for live, over-the-air broadcasts. For live streaming, and for video on demand (VOD) content, however, adding these same rich, animated, and variable title assets can present significant challenges for broadcasters and content creators. Modern streaming and VOD workflows need to leverage template driven graphics and titling workflows that look great on both large screens as well as mobile devices. This paper explores new and emerging technologies for creating rich, animated titles, and for applying them to streams and assembling them into on demand and online broadcast workflows.
