Suggested Ticker_tape values?

Post by cjsacksteder »

Being winter here, many of my recordings have a ticker tape on the bottom that is constantly shown (as if there is no other way for us to know about school closings!).

Does anyone have good results setting ticker_tape to a reasonable value, or a suggestion how I'd look at a recording to see how many pixels the ticker tape is? The station logo appears just above the ticker, slightly cut off, but I think would be detected.

I opened the recording with ComskipGUI.exe repeatedly, changing ticker_tape until the logo was showed but not the ticker. Ended with 180 and that worked fine.

Drag and drop the recording onto ComskipGUI.exe and you can see if the value for the ticker tape needs to be increased or not
