Questions
Do I need to use LIGR to use this guide?+
No. Most of it applies to any live broadcast graphics work. The Fuse sections describe how LIGR binds Rive files to live data.
Can I bring my own Rive files into LIGR?+
Yes. Rive files are imported into Fuse, where their exposed inputs are bound to live competition data and operator controls are set.
