Newtek Virtual Set Editor 2 or how to have a virtual set without breaking your head

With the launch of Newtek Virtual Set Editor 2, even the smallest producers can meet demand, providing quality customized virtual sets and visual elements that add value to the brand.

NewTek has begun marketing Virtual Set Editor 2, a complementary application for TriCaster that allows comprehensive creation and customization of virtual studio environments and visual effects in any video production, without any need for a professional space.

Audiences today expect the videos they see, whether via live stream, broadcast, webinar or from a planned event, to have high production value, although not everyone who produces video can afford the cost of a professional studio or traditional virtual set system. Now, with the introduction of the Newtek Virtual Set Editor 2, even the smallest producers can meet demand, providing quality custom virtual sets and visual elements that add value to the brand.

Virtual Set Editor 2 provides the ability to work independently. Team collaboration is possible with the installation of a second license on a separate Microsoft Windows workstation along with the TriCaster system. With this solution, set designers will be able to create virtual environments in their own workspace, freeing up the main broadcast system for dedicated production or travel.

What does it contribute?

• Comprehensive customization. Each program will be able to have its own unique look; Each brand will be able to create their own elements and incorporate identifying elements into their set design, to the point that personalized transitions can even be made with the built-in Animation Store Creator.
• Photo realistic look. VSE compositions use high-resolution elements, realistic camera movements, and a TriCaster graphics processing engine to evoke realism that will pass the cotton test. Multiple live video inputs can be included in the array scaled, rotated and even traced to fit into 3D shapes (e.g. curved virtual video walls) with pixel-perfect accuracy. Real-time reflections add even more realism to the effect.
• Animation Store Creator. This powerful switcher effects engine included with the VSE 2 allows you to create complex transitions with full color and motion overlays, two-way audio, and even warped video traced against any 3D surface, such as fabric effects, for high-impact presentations.
• More collaborative workflows. Extensive support for Photoshop PSD layer files makes it easy to prepare images using the most popular graphics packages, then effortlessly import the scene into a new virtual studio VSE project. Designers can prepare sets and effects and transfer the finished product to any TriCaster on the same network whenever needed, even during live broadcasts.
• Virtual starter-pack sets. It includes pre-made and completely customized virtual set content that is ready to be used immediately, so you can forget about long creation times and high costs.
