Lower Thirds

I am using lower thirds in Proclaim. My issue is I want congregation to see lower thirds on projection screen and my live streaming audience to see the same thing. I am using a Boxcast hardware encoder and BlackMagic Atem Mini Extreme. I think I have found a work around however I don't think it's the best way. When I want lower thirds to appear, I press the "ON AIR" button on the Atem to turn on and when I don't want lower thirds to appear such as a full screen slide or the pastor on stage then I turn the "ON AIR" off. Seems like it is a lot to keep track of and if you forget it really messes up the in house and on line. I hope I explained this so it is understandable. Since Faithlife did away with a lot with the exception of Proclaim, their customer service has really suffered. I don't want to go back to ProPresenter but I may not have a choice. Lower Thirds is a lot easier with ProPresenter. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Mark Doyon

    I am confused about what you want. Here is a video of how we do it. If you can clarify how your goals are different, I will try and help: video

    Justin,

    I got it figured out. I can do it like you do or I have found a work around so that live stream and in house are exactly the same. Meaning they both see the same using the Atem Extreme simply by changing from one input to another and when lower thirds is needed simply press the on air button in Atem software after setting Luma up.

    Thanks for your response,

    Mark

    Glad you found something that works for you, Mark. You can also create a transparent slide in Logos as one of your quick screens in Logos and switch to that when you don't want the lower thirds.

    I want to do something similar. I have just purchased proclaim and this is the only thing that isn't working as i wish. I use ecamm live and i import the lower 3rds in via ndi. No problem. My side screens see exactly what the live sees by design. Only my main projector is set to proclaim sides. So I set up a quick screen that is my output of ecamm live via a capture card going into my presentation computer. Proclaim recognizes it as a usb video input. All is fine there. However when i actually go to it, it starts cycling colors, goes green gets crazy distorted. It even effects the ndi. It's unusable. As long as I don't try to make Proclaim show my live video I'm ok. However that was one of my main wants. Show what live sees when i want, and show static slides when i don't want.
