Question

Browser Souce like OBS

Hello, I'm new here and I'm curious if anyone is familiar with OBS (Open Broadcasting Software) and its browser source feature. In OBS, you can add a browser source and input a source link. Any changes made, such as altering lower third text or updating a sports score, instantly affect your live stream. My question is, does After Effects have a similar capability? For instance, a feature that allows you to input a link in After Effects, and any changes made via a browser would immediately update text or content in After Effects. To clarify further, if we're working with an AI file and make modifications in Illustrator, after effects immediately update that.

Additionally, it's possible, but as Rick mentioned, not in real time.

I've seen some websites where you can create intros, logos animations... They probably use AE in background to render videos.

 

I just found this demo with a simple project edited from a browser.

As far as I know no professional visual effects, animation, or compositing software can be controlled by a web page. The reason, everything from these software platforms needs to be rendered before it is used.
