    I’m working through options for using motion graphics during our live presentations. All video and other elements are currently captured via the Blackmagic Design Ultrastudio 4k we have. I’ve seen CasparCG and Playback Pro mentioned as options elsewhere. You guys have any suggestions?

    I would say, the simplest way would be through Playback Pro.

    Now, if you need layers, or work on blended screens, you could look at Watchout, but simple is no longer part of that sentence 🙂

    Hi, Thomas:

    Have you checked out mimoLive? It can easily play back videos and graphics and send them back to an ATEM for compositing via the UltraStudio 4K.

    Would you recommend Mimo over ProVideo Player Pro?

    While ProVideoPlayer and mimoLive can both easily play back video content, that’s about where the similarity ends. mimoLive is more of ‘TV studio in a box”, with switching, streaming and recording capabilities, and ProVideoPlayer is designed for outputting video to multiple screens in all kinds of different configurations.

    Tell me more about your presentations and what you are trying to accomplish.

    Live switching with motion graphics is what we’re after. I tried out a demo version of mimoLive, I thought it was outstanding,

    [Thomas Allen] “Live switching with motion graphics is what we’re after. I tried out a demo version of mimoLive, I thought it was outstanding,”

    I agree. I discovered mimoLive because I was frustrated by the awkward graphics functionality of the ATEM software. I have a video about using mimoLive with the ATEM, here:

    And I have an extensive blog post about setting up mimoLive to send graphics back to the ATEM for compositing.
