Changes apply on air right away. Fonts other than Oswald and Montserrat load from Google Fonts, so the computer showing the overlay needs internet. The weather and sports stingers keep their own colors.

How to format the text

# Heading makes a large heading.
Role | Name puts the role on the left of the center and the name on the right.
!logo shows your logo.
A plain line is centered.
A blank line leaves a gap.

Background

Text size

Music

Music volume

Music file (used when Music is "My own music file")

Put the file in the same folder as server.js. The news theme is a driving, drum-and-brass newsroom beat. The sonic brand plays a short bell signature as the credits start and again as they end, with a quiet pad between. The music fades in as the credits start, loops if the file is shorter than the roll, and fades out as they end or when you press Stop.

Roll speed:

The text saves as you edit it. With a black background the screen fades to black, rolls, then fades back. Text only rolls over your video.

Full-screen stinger

Seconds the screen stays fully covered

Sound

Volume

Sound files, labels and logo

Station sound file (used when Sound is "My own sound file") Weather stinger label Weather sound file (optional, used when Sound is "My own sound file") Sports stinger label Sports sound file (optional, used when Sound is "My own sound file") Logo address (empty plays the colored panels only)
