Frequently asked questions

Short answers to the questions new operators ask most often. Each entry links to the underlying documentation page for the full picture.

What is Lumora?

Lumora is a browser-based broadcast graphics (CG) system. You upload templates, drive them from a web control panel, and feed the rendered output into OBS, vMix, casparCG, or any switcher that accepts a browser source. There is nothing to install on the production machine.

See What is Lumora?.

What is a workspace?

A workspace is your isolated set of templates, graphics, teams, and players. Each workspace has its own URL (<slug>.app.lumora.live) and its own access controls. You can have multiple workspaces on the same account.

See Workspaces.

How do I get a template playing on output?

Upload the template to your workspace (OGraf bundle or Lottie .json / .lottie), add it to a graphic via the rundown, configure any bindings, then trigger it from the control form. The output page at the workspace's output URL renders the live composition for your switcher to capture.

See Uploading a template.

What template formats does Lumora support?

Lumora supports OGraf bundles (the EBU broadcast graphics standard, exported from designer tools like loopic.io) and Lottie animations (.json or .lottie, typically exported from After Effects via Bodymovin).

See Templates overview.

How do I connect Lumora to OBS / vMix / casparCG?

Open the workspace output page in your switcher as a browser source. The output renders the composed graphics live; the switcher captures it like any other web page. No plugins or local install needed.

See Outputs.

What are channels and how do they relate to outputs?

A channel is one output composition (for example, main programme, second screen, multiview). Each channel has its own output URL and its own active-graphics stack. You can run multiple channels in parallel from one workspace.

See Outputs.

How does the rundown work?

The rundown is your ordered list of graphics for a show. Each row is a graphic with its bindings (text, images, data). Trigger rows from the control panel to play them out; the order is a script for the operator, not an auto-play queue.

See The graphics rundown.
