I’ve assigned a hotkey in Photoshop (F12, but you can use whatever) just by editing the keyboard shortcuts and that seems pretty painless. You will get the ‘Image outputr settings’ dialogue come up when you hit it for the first time after PS has been opened, but there after it should just update each time you hit the key.
It would be GREAT if you could have the Decklink output update live everytime you do something on the canvas (a la After Effects) so if you guys at BMD can think of a way – go for it!!!
Manually hitting a key is ok usually, unless you have a client watching your broadcast monitor while you’re working and saying “what have you actually changed in the last 5 minutes”!…Sometimes when you’re working really hard you forget to hit the key each time you change something!
