# This proof of concept application demonstrates an aproach in creating
# dynamic title templates for DaVinci Resolve via Fusion Title Templates.
# One button will create a timestamped slate. Another will create a crawl
# with the latest Bundesliga football news obtained via RSS feed.
# It is required to press each button once prior to launching Resolve since
# Resolve only loads the list of available templates once at startup.
# Each subsequent press will refresh the template contents.
