Hello everyone, and welcome to another edition of NewTek Tuesday Tutorials.
I am your host, Richard Evans.

Today I want to show you how to use Adobe Premiere for live playback in TriCaster.
Adobe Premiere allows you via the power of NDI, the ability to playback
video and or graphics with Alpha Channel directly from the premiere software
without having to render out any files in real time.
Maximize simplicity and efficiency in your productions, not to mention
being pretty dang cool.
So let me show you how it's done Son!
All right, so we're going to start off in the TriCaster 2 Elite interface.
You'll see that on my interface here.
I have inputs one, two and three filled.
But number four is empty because that is where I'm going to be
putting the output of my Adobe Premiere Workstation,
which I can use to bring in a sequence that I'm working on
or even bring in graphics with an overlay so I can use those into my production.
Okay.
So let's go over to my Adobe Premiere workstation and you'll see that
I am working on a sequence right now, just a few little clips.
All right.
And if I hit play,
you'll see that that plays out and I have a graphic on top of it, etc..
Okay.
Now, for example, I could simply render this out
and then send this over to the TriCaster and have to wait for it to render, etc.
or especially if it's a huge project that might take a while.
Or I can just have Adobe Premiere play
that directly from the software.
Okay.
So the first thing we need to do is tell Adobe Premiere
to set up to output as an NDI .
So before you even go that far, I highly recommend
downloading the NDI Tools from NDI TV.
Those are absolutely free.
And as soon as you have installed them, it's
just double click
the exe in there and it will install these plug ins in the background.
You don't have to do anything fancy for it,
you know, just automatically do it.
Okay, so from here we need to turn on, so we'll go
to the top of the screen of Premiere and click on edit,
go down to preferences and select playback
okay.
Now you'll see on this screen here
what we need to do is enable Mercury transmit
so that it will send out a video signal and under the video device here
you'll see that I have a checkbox next to in the output.
All right.
That is the one that we're going to need to do to send this out via NDI .
So all you need to do is make sure these two systems are on the same network.
The TriCaster and your Adobe Premiere Workstation have mercury
and enable mercury transmit and put a checkbox next in the output.
And that is pretty much all you need to do.
So I'll go ahead and click on. Okay.
And now let's move back over to my TriCaster to Elite
and let's take a look So I'm going to go into input number four
and click on
the source dropdown and look for all my different sources.
So I'm going to look for the name of the
computer that I'm using here, which in my example is Richericherich.
Here you go.
So I have a few different things that are outputting right now.
One is my screen capture so that you can see what I'm doing on screen here.
But then this is the one that when you look at Adobe
Premiere Pro, so if I select that, check it out now
I can see the output of my projects that I'm working on in Premiere.
So if I go through and just scrub through the timeline, for example,
you'll see that that starts to move back and forth right
And let's go ahead and hit play so you can see that playing out.
So this is the same clip with the graphic on there.
Pretty awesome.
All right. So I can bring that over to program.
Let's go ahead and back that up a bit and hit play and let's take that live.
Looks pretty good.
All right. Hurray! She did it.
Okay, cool.
All right.
So that's how you would play a clip in Adobe Premiere.
Back into your TriCaster.
But I also want to show you that you can bring in graphics as well.
So say you're working with a mogrt motion template for graphics
and you want to bring that into your TriCaster as a graphic.
What you can do is pretty simple.
Well,
so I'm
going to clear out all these clips here since I already have that graphic
at the bottom here.
So let me just delete all of those.
All right.
And so you'll see that that is my lower third that you see
in my Tuesday tutorials that I use all the time.
Okay.
And if we look on the TriCaster
right there, you will see there is.
Okay.
So one thing to make sure is that you don't have any other layers
underneath it that might just be a black layer, for example.
So that will send out Alpha Channel automatically.
Okay.
So now what I can do is I can bring that directly into my broadcast.
So let's go ahead and bring it in number two and you'll see my downstream
keyer number one, I have selected input number four Okay.
And what I'm going to do now is I'm going to go ahead and take that
on screen so you don't see it right away because I need to play it out.
But let's go ahead and now play it out.
So now what I'll do is I'll just hit Spacebar on Adobe Premiere and check it out.
Tada!
There is my graphic in real time coming through
with all my awesome animations, etc.
and then I can make all of my changes to my mogrt as far as the text, etc.
directly from Premiere without having to export it to the track caster.
So I didn't need to do anything fancy.
Literally just turned on enable mercury, transmit
and output and that was it.
You can now bring your projects from Premiere
into your TriCaster productions like that.
All right, there you have it.
