iChat Theater Replacement for Premiere Pro
Hi there,
In FCP there was a nice feature called iChat Theater for remote viewing of the edit monitor content. Premiere doesn’t have something like this at the moment. For anyone who’s made the switch, have you found a suitable replacement?
We’ve tried Join.me without results adequate for clients. Google Hangouts On Air in Studio mode was a bit better, but still not there.
A while back I helped set up a system where a session was streamed via a canopus box connected to a monitor and wired into a laptop streaming to a Justin.tv channel, but that system wasn’t really light and portable the way iChat Theater was.
Curious to know what others are doing and if there’s a suitable replacement out there. Thanks!
Jon

Not sure if this would work, but Livestream has a box that takes various inputs and streams the pic live.

Thanks for the recommendation! We’ll check it out and report the results. We have some Blackmagic hardware here already so it looks like we could give it a whirl without any up front purchases.

I hooked up a Slingbox to the component outs of my Blackmagic capture card and was able to stream high quality video and audio to a client who watched it on a Slingbox website. Worked very well, except we had to converse via speakerphone. But the Slingbox does cost a few hundred dollars.

i too have been frustrated by the lack of good options for remote client viewing and interaction. at this point, it’s the only feature from fcp7 that i REALLY miss in premiere pro CC. i sincerely hope adobe addresses this in the near future. it was a life saver on certain projects.

Yes, without success. You can’t control the size of the window it sends over and it tries to push across too much data. It would be fine if you were trying to do a powerpoint presentation or work with still images. The playback is extremely steppy though and you could never expect a remote client to be able approve timings or performance based on it.
