Chapter 4 – Making a Presentation Interactive
Note: Image Mode settings that would normally crop displayed images (i.e. “Center Image” and “Scale to Fill and
Crop”) are not applied to the background image of a Live Text state. To get consistent performance between images
and Live Text states, you will need to resize images accordingly.
• Update Live Text Data: Click this button to immediately update all RSS feeds.
• Size: Adjust the size of your text fields. W corresponds to the width of the text field, and H corresponds to the
height of the text field.
• Position: Adjust the position of your text fields. X corresponds to the position of the text on a horizontal axis, and Y
corresponds to the position on a vertical axis.
Note: Input numbers in the Size and Position fields for more precise results. Alternatively, you can click and drag the
text fields in the preview area to adjust sizing and position.
• Offset next: Check this box to automatically set a position for subsequent text items in relation to the most recent
text item. Input the distance for the next text item in the X and Y fields.

from the Data Feed Name dropdown menu. Then, specify which text item to display from the Data Feed
using either the Item title or the Item index. The displayed Data Feed item will remain fixed and will not
cycle through feed items like a standard RSS ticker (for this functionality, please use the RSS Feed type).
However, you can update the text by modifying the feed source and changing the description associated
with the item title or index.
Note: When you specify the Item index, subsequent RSS text fields will automatically contain the next item in
the index (i.e. the previous index number + 1).
d. Media Counter: Media Counters display how many times a file in the presentation has played. Each Media
Counter field must correspond to a specific file. Use the dropdown list to pair the Media Counter field with a
