Tally Score Bug

Everything below can be changed without touching the animation. Hand the list to an agent, or edit the values at the bottom of the component file.

• Left name *

  leftName · string

  The left side: a first name, a team, a channel. Short. It is set in caps beside a very large numeral and there is room for about nine characters.

  now: NOAH

• Right name *

  rightName · string

  The right side, set the same way. Two names of roughly equal length balance the board best.

  now: PRIYA

• Left score

  leftScore · number

  The left side's score on the first frame, before any beats. Set both of these when you are dropping the bug into the middle of a game.

  now: 6

• Right score

  rightScore · number

  The right side's score on the first frame.

  now: 5

• Beats

  beats · array

  Every point scored while the bug is on screen, in seconds. This is the component: the score at any frame is the starting score plus the beats that have landed, so you edit this list rather than the numbers.

  now: 4 items

• Round

  round · string

  The strip across the top: which round it is, what the win condition is, whose rules. Empty leaves the strip to the clock alone.

  now: ROUND 3 · FIRST TO 10

• Clock

  clock · number

  Seconds on the round clock at the first frame. It counts down live from there and the hairline under it drains once per second. 0 hides the clock entirely.

  now: 72

• Lead range

  leadRange · number

  How many points of lead pins the meter to one end. Match it to the game: 4 for a first-to-ten quiz, 20 for a hundred point round, so the needle uses its whole travel.

  now: 4

• Anchor

  anchor · "top-center" | "top-left" | "top-right" | "bottom-center"

  Where the bug hangs. Top centre is the scoreboard position and it clears both presenters; move it to a top corner if your framing puts somebody's head up there.

  now: top-center

• Inset

  inset · number

  Distance from the frame edges as a fraction of the shorter side. The default sits inside a 16:9 title-safe area on every player.

  now: 0.055

• Plate

  plate · number

  Opacity of the board itself. Below about 0.8 you are trusting the footage behind it to stay quiet, which over a moving shot it will not.

  now: 0.93

• Scale

  scale · number

  Size of the board. Push it up for a 9:16 cut, where a bug sized for a 16:9 frame reads as a caption.

  now: 1

• Ground

  ground · boolean

  Paint the frame behind it. Off by default. This is an overlay, so it renders on an alpha channel and drops straight over your own footage. On, it gets a brand ground so it can stand alone.

  now: true

• Brand

  brand · string

  Brand token id, one of the keys of BRANDS.

  now: signal
