Adobe Character Animator CC
Some Desktop Video capture and playback devices let you connect graphics generated
by Adobe Character Animator CC to other video equipment such as a confidence monitor.
For example, you may want to use the performance of a virtual character in a video edit and
monitor the performance in realtime.
This section shows you how to set the output options in Adobe Character Animator CC.
1 In Adobe Character Animator, select Character > Preferences > Live Output.
2 Ensure 'enable Mercury transmit and syphon' is checked.
3 Ensure 'Blackmagic playback' is checked.
4 Select 'setup' next to 'Blackmagic playback'.
5 In the 'output mode' drop down menu, choose a mode from the following options.
Playback
Outputs a signal directly from Adobe Character Animator CC without any keying.
Internal Keying
This option allows you to superimpose your animated character over another video source
using your Desktop Video device's internal keyer. For example, the background could be a
video of a location relevant to a news story and the character could be superimposed over the
top providing a live interview. Another option would be to have the character superimposed
over the broadcast feed and sit in the bottom corner like a logo or watermark, providing
reactions to the content that is being broadcast.
Fill/Key
If you want to perform the keying using an external switcher, for example an ATEM switcher,
you can set the output mode to fill/key. The fill signal is the animated character and the
key signal is the grayscale mask that tells a keyer to make the space around the character
transparent. This allows the keyer to superimpose the character over a background.
