Is it possible to run live video behind my presentation items? Particularly song lyrics?
Hey Stephanie,
You can use Proclaim with hardware solutions to accomplish this. I have actually just started doing some testing in-house for how we can make the process simpler/easier!
Here is my setup:
I am currently formating my songs so that each slide only shows 2 lines. Then I align the slide to the bottom. I also use a gray forground image to use as a 'background' for the bottom of my slides.
Then I run Proclaim and my camera feed into an Atem Switcher (https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/atem). Using the Luma key, I can key out the black background, and cause the gray box to be slightly see-through. This creates a cool effect on the screen, and prevents bright objects from obscuring the lyrics.
Hope this helps! I bet there are other switcher solutions out there that could solve this as well. I'd love to hear about your setup and what you want to accomplish!

thank you so much!! This is great info.
I am going to be meeting with our team to discuss our options and this will be very handy. I will report back with what we decide!
