Hi Eric,

This is already somewhat possible using the [Common_Studio]:Compounds\LowerThird\LThird_Video.xcomp compound. There are also other similar compounds in the [Common_Studio]:Compounds\LowerThird folder, and there are example scenes at [Tutorials]:Lower Thirds.
These compounds have a Sequence Node inside them, so they are selectable and moveable like 3D objects. Also, the LThird_Mask compound can limit where these visual elements are displayed on the screen.

There is a little bit more information about them here:

Warmest regards,

Hi Eifert.

Ah, righto, thanks. I see what you mean.

It's a bit tricky though to set up a full 3D scene, just for onscreen controls on certain objects.
So the feature request still stands :-)

Cheers & all the best.

Eric.

Hi,

Okay, we added it to our request list and we will consider adding it in future releases.

Warmest regards,

with regards to lower thirds
is it possible to have code that fit a box to the size of the text
or vice versa?

Hi andyesgrove.

It certainly is.
The TextImage has an output for TextSize (X/Y)
When using e.g. a fixed Width but dynamic Height you could use those values to build your underlying Rectangle/Graphics/... accordingly.

Cheers & all the best.

Eric.

I have created a mask for a lower third in after effects, which i can play as a video
but how can i move it on screen if i want to change the position?
i can move a video but not a mask!

Hi,

You should be able to move the mask just as you move a video. In Aximmetry all images (including mask images) will be converted into video data type pins, so any module that works with a video will also work with an image.

If it is not so, can you show a screenshot of your Flow Editor modules that you are trying to make work? I might be misunderstanding something.

Warmest regards,
