Really happy to hear it!

@@heretorecord Hello, I to like your content . I cannot figure out how to move the chroma screen to the ATEM mini pro. Is there a particular way it should be connected to make that happen?

Thanks Zach! Always good to hear it :)

Good to hear it - let me know of any issues (or successes) along the way!

Happy to hear that (well not the part about Wirecast crashing), but otherwise glad you found H2R Graphics!

Hope it works well for you! Let me know :D

Glad you liked it!

No need for an internet connection so long as you are connected to the LAN.

Glad it was helpful!

Glad you like it. Finding it hard to get time to make videos but this format helps me a lot!

@@heretorecord it's very good as i personally like more to-the point video, no need for the same old tired unboxing and basic setup video. Kudos!

Good questions. 1) I would indeed use Thunderbolt to HDMI 2) kind of, you can set opacity using custom CSS 3) heretorecord.com/support/ and just watching the videos is support!

Yes, that's about it!

I have considered it. For now you can use the NDI Scan Converter app which will work!

@@heretorecord Yep I'm actually doing that right now, thanks for thinking of it!

Hey - I’ll be happy to help. The key/fill version is something you can use to get a clean keyed version of your graphics. The “fill” window is all of the graphics as you would expect them in full colour, the “key” version is a grayscale image where any part that is black will not be seen by the viewer and anything white will be seen. You can use a Luma key in on your video switcher and allow it to do all the keying work for you.

@@heretorecord Thank you very much for your quick response, I got some idea of key/fill. I am using Key/Fill in downstream to show my logo and messages so that I can use Upstream for DVE simultaneously. Luma key comes under Upstream. I am using BM Atem Mini Pro ISO. Do I need two monitor to show key and fill separately because in key i can see the wipe effect of message but on fill I can see the messages but there is no effect (wipe).

The only issue is that (currently) you need to run Companion and H2R Graphics on the same laptop, otherwise, yes!

@@heretorecord This is awesome sauce John. I just discovered the "Break" worksheet, and how you can run an extended training webinar with the picture of presenter according to timeslot. Brilliant!

John how can I pay you? You should have a donate button for this valuable software or some way to pay for the value.

Currently the amazon affiliate links are the best way! heretorecord.com/support/

@@heretorecord ok mate, I will keep in mind for next time I shop on Amazon. I assume if I start off with the above link then search for an item, they will push a few bucks your way.

James Webster I had the same idea. The raspberry is a good solution for that

I’ll have to get my hands on one and give it a look!

If you're interested, there's an unofficial Linux build over here: github.com/cjdenio/h2r-graphics-linux/releases No guarantees that it'll work on a Raspberry Pi, but it might be worth trying out.

I love this thread. The cheapest windows option would probably be an Atom compute stick.

I have a few built in and then you can create your own themes!

You could set the background colour of the to a off-green colour to try and see if it works. And there is currently no “am”/“pm” function! It’s on the list though!

Oh and definitely test this product with a Raspberry Pi.

You’ll want to head into the “ATEM setup utility” and make sure that you have “keep with transition” set up for the keyer. This way your upstream keyer will not disappear

@@heretorecord Thank you so kindly! best regards

No need for a second monitor. The ATEM *is* your second monitor in this instance. So you just need to find out what direction it is and drag the window that way. You can see this in the System preferences. Feel free to send me a screen recording of your progress to my email and I can help from there. john(at)heretorecord.com

Hey - you actually want to connect the computer to the ATEM with HDMI as though you were connecting your computer to an external monitor or a TV that was right beside you. Often by default your computer screen will be mirrored on that second display, however you need to turn off mirroring in order to get this setup to work. Feel free to send me an email with a short video of your progress and I’ll be happy to help! john(at)heretorecord.com

If you use the DSK Luma keyer, set the H2R Graphics background colour to black, then you can free up the green screen for your talent!

Not 100% sure what you mean, however you will want to activate extended displays in your system preferences by making sure that your computer does not “mirror” the HDMI output.

I have my ATEM set on Preview/Program mode, that was you can use the buttons for preview and transition controls to bring it onto Program. You can also use the ATEM Software Control and set cameras on Preview and Program at the same time.

Perhaps you are running them on two different computers? Or maybe you have not set the port right. Either way send me an email and we can see what we can do. John(at)heretorecord.com

@@heretorecord It was the wrong port. I got it all figured out and it works great!!! Thanks!!!

You can clean up the key by playing with the settings in the ATEM - I just ran with it like that for this video, but some time and patience will work in your favour!

Lyrics is a maybe. Fonts and colours can all be changed with CSS for each element!

Yes you can do this. You will need to use the “latch toggle” option on the button and then set a separate “key down” and “key up” action. If you have issues then get in touch over email with some screenshots of your progress John(at)heretorecord.com

Happy to help over email... John (at) heretorecord.com. Send screenshots and I’ll help out!

Not to worry. The way to fix the first issue is to use CTRL+F to bring the chroma window full screen. Not sure about the second issue, perhaps you can send me screenshots to john@heretorecord.com

It sure will!

@@heretorecord Great. Thanks. Keep up the awesome work :-)

I haven’t tried it with sling studio. Did you try it yet?

It is connected just like you would connect an external monitor to your computer. HDMI out of the laptop any into the ATEM Mini, which causes the computer to think it is connected to an external display. With this working, you can drag any window onto that external display.

Hey - that is possible. In the ATEM Setup software you can toggle a feature called “drop key with transition” which will allow the usk to stay on.

Hello, thanks for the quick reply, it works and I'm really happy with what you can do with this configuration. With kind regards Lasse

How far have you gotten so far?

Defiantly you can do this. I do it all the time!

H2R Graphics will allow you to show animated lower thirds, a ticker, logo, message and KZfaq chat all at the same time. You would not be able to do thus with alpha graphics on a single USK.

Here to Record thank you

Good thinking!

You can go to the settings tab in H2R Graphics and pick any colour! And you can fix the Mac issue by going to your Macs system preference>Mission Control> and make sure that “displays have separate spaces” is on

You just need to set the Background colour to black instead of green, then use a Luma key. Finally, avoid any black graphics in your production.

It is possible. You just need to use the DSK for H2R Graphics and do a luma key. If you set the chroma colour to black on the background of the output window then you will be able to do this! I discuss it at 26:29 in this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d959l8KCtLbGfXk.html

You cannot. Lower thirds are created within the software itself

I put that on my todo list today! Will do!

@@heretorecord Here is a sample of what I am trying to achieve: 1drv.ms/u/s!Ak6KDkZlj8QXhm12DpCQTvL1te4h?e=zOGQGy

Joe W. IMO for that a Roland VP-42H is better solution but more expensive I know. Peter

Decimator Dmon Quad would be perfect for this.

@@heretorecord Hi, John. Were you able to try this out?

I’m using a Mac and I am only using one HDMI output

Here to Record it appears u are dragging the green screen over to a second monitor, and also u are using that out of the Mac to the ATEM..

I got it figured out.... just want to suggest that ur software allow to bring up your own lower thirds created just like u pull up ur own logo.

I haven’t actually tried it out yet!

The simplest way is to run Companion and H2R Graphics on the same laptop

@@heretorecord Meaning that companion and H2R graphics should run off the main laptop and not the second laptop that is connected to input #4 on the Atem Mini Pro? If that is the case, how do I setup the Chroma Key function if only using one computer?

Currently CSS is the only way to add customisation. If you have lower third graphics already then you will need to build them with CSS

Thanks for the request. I’ll add it to the list. For now you can actually just throw an image in the logo element and make it full size!

Tell me more... where are you downloading it from. Where does it say this message?

@@heretorecord The link is fixed now.

It should work exactly the same as in this video, did you manage to get it working yet?

@@heretorecord not yet! I'm not available to connect H2R to Atem studio ! I don't understand why.

Feel free to send pictures/screenshots to me... john(at)heretorecord.com

You will want to make sure your computer is on "Extended Display" mode just as though you have connected it to any external monitor where you have two desktops. Then you will be able to drag windows between your screens.

@@heretorecord Thanks, problem solved. This was a massive brain fart on my behalf. My mistake was thinking in terms of the multi-view screen as a whole - when, like you say, I only needed to extend my monitor via the hdmi cable to camera 4 input in the multiview :-) Pretty funny to get so absolutely blocked.

I have no idea on that one - did you manage to sort it?

@@heretorecord yes I did. Had set it to a static IP after the first time, and then couldn't connect. I've added a mobile router in between so I can make sure they are both on the same network. Trying to get the computer out of the mix since most of what I do is mobile.

Seems like it doesn't yet

You should set up your displays to have separate spaces in the System preferences

@@heretorecord Thanks John. I made all the settings but forgot that I needed to log out and log back in again / restart... Gotta laugh really

Working on more for the future!

When the Linux version comes look into a Raspberry Pi with HDMI out for $50 or so. Or you can use a NUC or Intel Atom compute stick for the $100-200 range. I personally have a "box" flavored Intel NUC that the ATEM will be replacing. That i7 still uses a lot of power (3x the ATEM mini Pro!) so I might get a compute stick to try instead.

LattePanda - raspberry pi sized board, but runs Win10

Yes!

Some day!

@@heretorecord That would be great. Thank you!

You need to right click the app, choose open then open again. Will fix in a future version!

Which part?

@@heretorecord Sorry, my question was very unspecific. I´d like to control h2r with my stream deck. But I´m not able to fade in a graphic with the stream deck. It works well when I fade in the graphic with h2r directly, but there´s no connection between the stream deck an h2r yet. Or well, there is a connection: When I push the button on the stream deck, the button in companion is also "pushed", but I can´t bring any function to the button. Companion only offers me Basic actions for h2r, that only contains 2 buttons. So I created a new button, but I still can´t execute any action by this button. When I generate a press action (show/hide graphic), I can´t add any graphics. It says "no options" in the Graphic drop down list. Or when I use "Send String", I can do the same adjustments like in your video, but where can I tell companion, which text or graphic it should show up? I thought that this are maybe functions that only work with the Pro versions.

You are more than free to do that! But maybe during the live show a guest is changed to another one and now you need to update a lower third. I bet you could so that faster with H2R Graphics than with AI.

A set of pre-made guest names for a program in png format is one button away.

@@heretorecord yes I agree. I had that situation and H2R to the rescue :)

I do not :(

Tell me more... where are you downloading it from. Where does it say this message?

@@heretorecord in the mean time it seems to work.. thanks.

The ATEM Mini and ATEM Mini Pro interfaces will function identically for this process, though if you have any specific questions then feel free to reach out! John(at)heretorecord.com
