Thank you. 🥹🥹🥹

An interesting stencil approach to understanding the keyer. Thanks for sharing.

🥰🥰🥰

Happy New Year!!!

If you want smooth animations I would suggest the OBS method and working within the limitations or drop some coin and pick up a Hyperdeck with key and fill support.

@@CreateConsumeRepeat I am running my first show independently for an MMA promotion. I found your video when I was trying to make a clock lower-third graphic for the rounds and bring in videos occasionally. The videos are fine because I can take the direct input. It’s when I need to downstream the clock so it will continue to overlay.

Sadly, it comes down to color choice with creating graphics that work on the downstream key using this hack.

Alpha keying motion on the ATEM Mini Pro can only be done via hardware. OBS allows you to cheat to a certain extent. If you are using OBS as your software based streaming solution, then yes the plug-in you mention would work. But I like hardware based solutions. Thanks for the comment.

Wow! Super cool 👀. How have I never seen this device? Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Sadly, I spent my allowance on a 3D printer.

Cool tip. I prefer AE for more accurate control.

thank you very much for this hack, you save me hours of configuration!

Never used that specific device so not sure I can provide a valid opinion.

@@CreateConsumeRepeat I would look into it if you want to use OBS on the DSK with a proper Key/Fill output, it’s the same form factor as a Hyperdeck and about $100 cheaper the the mini plus!

Thanks for the tip. I’ll check it out.

I don’t use streamlab but it’s my understanding that it works like OBS. If that’s the case I would guess it should work. But don’t quote me.

Raspberry pi if you have the coding skills.

Please click the following link: www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/atemtelevisionstudio/ then select features from the drop down and scroll down to Upstream key. Here you will see a diagram that illustrates the validity of my video.

Yeah, the luma or chroma key is keying out a portions of a fill source to reveal what is underneath it, which is your background layer.

Create amazing multi layer live action broadcast effects using the upstream keyer! Layer live video over other video sources or graphics with incredible quality. You can use luma key, linear key, pattern key, or shoot against a green screen and use the Advanced Chroma key to instantly composite the video over virtual sets for mind blowing effects! - BlackmagicDesign website

@@CreateConsumeRepeat yeah, it says layer live video over your sources. Meaning it’s on top.

I would watch the video again but simply put the upstream key offers the most features and flexibility on the ATEM. It’s mostly used for keying out the background via green screen. The upstream keys on the other hand goes on top of everything so they are perfect for “bugs” but on the ATEM they are limited by comparison to the upstream. It can be a hard concept to grasp when first starting out. Adding more complexity is the addition of HyperDeck.

@@CreateConsumeRepeat Ok. 1) Re read what you wrote and edit so anyone else who reads will understand. 2) I wanted to know the difference. Watching the video by Doug Johnson he explains the Upstream key comes prior to the transition and the downstream key comes after the transition. This is the reason for different names. Otherwise we could just say the Keying function.

I like those think of it like layers. Others think of them like stencils. I would watch the animated diagram sequence to fully understand it.

The way in which the upstream and downstream keys work can be challenging to understand. Sorry you didn’t find the video helpful.
