Output to Blackmagic?

  • September 23, 2017

I see in CA's preferences there is a Default Output setting and it is defaulting to my Blackmagic Intensity Pro 4K. Is there a way to get my work to show up on my external monitor that is hooked up to the Blackmagic output? I currently can screen my Premiere and Media Composer on this monitor?

Having fun with this app,

Martin

    Hi Martin,

    it seems you have tried going down the NDI Route which will get you an NDI IP Video output from Character Animator.  From there you have lots of options, but one thing to try is NDI Outlet (assuming you are on Mac).   It takes the NDI Fill and Key Stream from Character Animator and outputs it fill and key via 2 SDI outs on a BlackMagic Interface.  There appears to be a demo version here

    I have used it myself to output fill and key from graphics software and it does work.

        The NDI Outlet app (on the App Store) was the exact part missing in my puzzle!  Thank you for pointing that out.  Very excited!

        I believe so. In Stream mode (using the top workspace bar) if you click the "stream" icon in the bottom right of the scene panel (little window with a signal and play button), that will start streaming to any available sources as seen in those preferences.

        This page should help out a little hopefully: Adobe Character Animator Help | Export

        Thanks. It looks from those links like I need to install NewTek NDI. I'll look into that when I have more time.

        Did you have any luck with this?  I am having similar issues trying to output live through Blackmagic.  Other programs work but not Character Animator.
