  • Live Playback software for any Video format or FPS/and Graphic overlay

    Posted by John Mark on March 16, 2013 at 1:48 am

    Hello,

    I was wondering if there is any Live Production software for video playback and to add (motion) graphic overlays, for mac or Windows.

    I have been using ProPresenter5, but need something more robust, for better transitions and handling video etc.

    What needs to fit my requirements;
    Any format/Codec
    Any frame-rate for video and Graphics
    Smooth Playback

    My videos will be mostly around 25-30FPS and graphics will be at 60FPS.

    Thank you for anyone that will help.

    We use PlaybackPro from dtvideolabs and have found it to be very smooth and reliable. It does run on a Mac and plays anything Quicktime can read. You can also adjust geometry before you play the clip so if you have a non standard aspect ration you can clean that up. It does run on a Mac only, but we like the robustness of the Mac. You cannot overlay titles, etc like you can with Pro Presenter.

    We use it in our broadcast trailer for rolling commercials. (very, very important) We do run from solid state drives or even thumb drives so we do not have spin-up latency if the drive has powered down.
