Hi Team!

Is it possible to incorporate 3 different characters into one live broadcast? Is there a suggested software or platform that allows this?

I am on windows.

I could see C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC 2017\Support Files\Plug-ins\NewTek_NDI_AfterEffects.aex

but it is not showing up in the application. Meanwhile will try downloading again and reinstalling .

Are your Adobe apps installed on your C:\ drive, or a different drive?

Yes! This is now possible using NewTek's NDI technology. NDI allows you to send video over a network ethernet cable. For each character, you would run CH on its own computer. These computers would be connected together on a LAN or switch. One of these machines would need to be running NDI compatible software. Applications like Wirecast, vMix, and OBS Studio have ways of taking an NDI input.

If you're interested in this workflow, feel free to contact me directly at dramirez|at|adobe.com. It's a really cutting edge workflow and I'm happy to support you getting up and running.

Are you on Mac or Windows?

If Windows, I think there was an issue with the version they posted online, so it might be worth downloading again.

Windows: NewTek NDI Tools
Mac: NewTek NDI Tools
Mac Tools from Sienna: NewTek NDI Tools

I haven't tried it myself so I can't be 100% sure, but my understanding is that's exactly what the new NDI support allows with a program like Wirecast. If you had  multiple computers and could somehow hook them up together via ethernet, if one was running Wirecast it could see multiple CH sources show up, allowing you to arrange and simultaneously stream them.

I talk a little about this in the Mercury Transmit section of New Features - April 2017 (Adobe Character Animator CC Beta) - YouTube . We're also hoping to do a larger team livestream doing this soon as well.
