Premiere Pro: How can I live stream my program output monitor to clients remotely?

Hi,

During COVID-19, there has been a significant demand for remote work. I need to output my program monitor to clients and have live conversations with them, shifting the workflow to be completely remote. I've used YouTube Live and OBS, but faced copyright issues with music. Zoom's audio and video playback quality wasn't satisfactory. Frame.io works well with links, but isn't ideal for live remote work. I'm exploring other solutions like Vimeo Pro and would appreciate any recommendations for better websites or workflows to improve remote editing sessions.

To live stream your program output monitor to clients remotely, you can follow these general steps:

Choose a streaming platform: Select a streaming platform that suits your needs and the requirements of your clients. Some popular options include YouTube Live, Twitch, Facebook Live, and Vimeo.

Set up streaming software: Install streaming software on your computer. Popular streaming software options include OBS Studio (Open Broadcaster Software), Streamlabs OBS, and XSplit. These programs allow you to capture and stream your program output monitor.

Configure streaming software: Launch the streaming software and configure it according to your needs. Set the output resolution, frame rate, and other relevant settings.

Capture program output monitor: Configure the streaming software to capture the program output monitor. Most streaming software allows you to capture specific windows or regions on your screen. Select the window or region that displays your program output monitor.

Test and adjust settings: Perform some test streams to ensure the captured program output monitor is displaying correctly. Adjust settings such as audio levels, video quality, and screen capture to optimize the streaming experience.

Connect to streaming platform: In the streaming software, enter the necessary credentials or settings to connect to your chosen streaming platform. This typically involves providing your streaming platform account details or stream key.

Start streaming: Once you're ready, click the "Start Streaming" or "Go Live" button in the streaming software to begin streaming your program output monitor.

Share streaming link with clients: After you start streaming, the streaming platform will provide you with a unique URL or shareable link. Share this link with your clients so they can access the live stream.

Engage with clients: Interact with your clients through the streaming platform's chat or comment section. Answer their questions, provide explanations, and address any concerns they may have related to the program output monitor.

End the stream: When you're done streaming, make sure to properly end the stream in the streaming software. This will stop the transmission of the program output monitor to your clients.

I know I am late to the party here, but this is exactly what FlowCaster is designed to do.  If can take the program out, working as an Adobe Transmitter, and send it to sharing services like youtube, facebook, twitch, millicast, etc, but it can also send encrypted video via SRT directly to your producers computer, iphone, apple tv or android device.  There are lots of options for many different workflows.

maybe searching for peer to peer network services will help. A long time ago gamers used to use peer to peer stuff to play multiplayer games ( live ). That changed when software companies discovered they could 'charge money' for the network for players to use ( get ad revenue, whatever). That's why livestream is here now for gamers.

Peer to peer required a 'host' ( guy who sets up the session) and then those with the ip address and passwords could ask to 'join' and the host would accept them. So, maybe 4 players could join without degrading the latency too much ( you should ask what the internet gives your team members so you know who the slowest person is when they join ). There's programs to ping others to know that number.

That's the basics, no matter who supplies it... and unfortunately adobe can't do that cause it would cost a lot of money and hardware for nothin... and they are not in business to make no money.

Hey bud! I've been trying to do the same thing since April and I got lucky using a program called Kast to stream Premiere Pro from my computer and then using Zoom from my phone to chat with the client.

Kast is meant for watching movies with a big group of people but it works great streaming Premiere Pro. The quality is pretty decent since the free version goes up to 720p, but the latency is very close to real-time. (I believe a Premium Subscription gives you 1080p)

I also tried OBS streaming on YouTube live but the latency makes it impossible to recieve notes while I edit and it crashes almost everytime since it's very demanding in terms of RAM. I only have 16GB. If that's ok for you though, try having your stream Unlisted instead of Public so you don't get copyright strikes lol.

Kast was working perfectly for 3 weeks but then Kast started crashing after a few minutes after playing the sequence on Premiere, so let me know how it goes for you if you decide to try Kast.

 I'm currently editing a feature film, so it's being extra demanding on the system, but if you're working on a smaller project you might be fine.

Hope it works out man! Hit me up with any questions.
