Setting up the Comments layer

The Comments layer is receiving its data from the Comments window. Therefor you don’t need to specify a data source in the layer itself.

In the Content Section you can choose if the layer should reset the video output when its gets switched live with the “Reset On Live” option.

The “Show User Image” option tells the layer if it should display the comments authors profile image. For certain design guides it may be necessary to switch it off.

In the Animation Section you can specify how new comments should appear. The animation could be either Zoom In, Push from bottom, Push from the side or a Dissolve. If you don’t want an animation you can switch this option to Cut.

The Duration parameter specifies the appearance animation duration in seconds.

Because there could be a fast update rate for comments the Min Display Time can force a certain update speed allowing the audience to read individual comments.

Comments gets dropped if there is no display time available

If you get more comments than the Min Display Time is allowing to be displayed then comments gets skipped in order to maintain the readability over all

The scroll direction of the comments can be switched from Vertical mode to Horizontal mode. Please note that in Horizontal mode the height of the comments is varying because the width is fixed.
