Vizrt VSEAE Virtual Set Editor Advanced Edition - SW-000000012

Product Overview

Vizrt Virtual Set Editor Advanced Edition is a Windows software application for creating and customizing 360-degree virtual studio environments for use in TriCaster-based live productions. Broadcast designers, production companies, and AV professionals use Virtual Set Editor Advanced Edition to build custom virtual sets from scratch, modify included starter templates, or import panoramic photography and 3D-modeled environments — all without the cost or space requirements of physical set construction.

Product Description

Virtual Set Editor Advanced Edition supports enhanced LiveSet technology, enabling TriCaster users to deploy immersive 360-degree virtual studio spaces with holographic virtual sets, real-time animated lens flares, and animation store transitions. Sets can be created by importing panoramic images captured with a smartphone or camera, or by importing 3D scenes built in any standard 3D application. The included Animation Store Creator application allows production teams to design custom 3D transitions, warping effects, network-style stingers, and animated loops with full alpha channel support and embedded audio — enabling branded show opens, transitions, and lower third animations. The Advanced Edition supports shot presets for rapid camera position recall within a virtual set, and custom virtual sets can be designed to match specific brand colors, architectural styles, or show aesthetics. License is delivered electronically; requires compatible TriCaster system for live production deployment.
