Auto director
Studio shows the camera of whoever is speaking, from this computer’s microphone levels. You take over at any time.
Automation › Production rules › Auto director.
The auto director never starts or stops the live, and touches neither sound nor elements.
Map microphones to cameras
In When this microphone speaks, show, Add a mapping links a microphone to a camera scene. The order of mappings sets the priority when two microphones start together.
Two lines handle special cases: Several microphones active and Nobody speaks (by default, Keep the current shot).
Choose the target
- Preview only: Studio prepares the shot, you confirm with Transition.
- Output: Studio switches the output itself.
Then turn on Auto director.
Rhythm and safeguards
| Setting | Role |
|---|---|
| Minimum speech | Speaking time before giving the shot. |
| Silence delay | Without speech for this delay, the microphone counts as silent. |
| Rest time | No new switch right after a change. |
| Transition | Used for each switch. |
- Only switch between mapped cameras: if the output shows another scene, the auto director waits.
- Hand back control on any manual action: Cut, Transition or a click on a scene turn it off.
During the live
The Control tab card shows who is speaking and the shot proposed or on air. Take back control and Pause 30 s steer it without leaving the control room.
