For your editing sessions and over-the-shoulder reviews, you can connect your editor application to LIVE. To stream from Avid, Premiere or After Effects, choose from one of the below options:

Flowcaster offers a plugin for Avid that enables a direct stream from Avid. Go here for a complete set of instructions from Flowcaster about how to connect the two applications for a better streaming experience.

Flowcaster is currently available only to PC workstations at this time.

With Flowcaster, you can stream directly into 5th Kind's LIVE Room's streams using WebRTC WHIP protocol. From 5th Kind's LIVE Room, we'll gather the WebRTC WHIP configuration information for each LIVE Room stream. We need 2 data points for each Stream:

Now, configure Flowcaster:

Set the configuration in Flowcaster's "This Application" if you are using Flowcaster's "Input" tab. Or, "Creative Software"

In LIVE Rooms, at the bottom right, we can find an "information" icon.

This is where we can find the Stream Name and Publishing Token. If the Stream is configured to "Type: RTMP|, it needs to be updated to "Type: WEBRTC".

In the example below, look for the 2nd field at the top of the screen:

WebRTC Publishing Token: 41006772efa5244628501335600e52ce4f08581a88418bce796159cXXXXXXXXX

On windows: double left click on the WebRTC Publishing Token value. You can use the CTRL+C to copy and CTRL+V to paste into a text document for example.

The second item that we need to record is the "WebRTC Stream Name". This is the Stream where your feed will show at. In this case it is:

WebRTC Stream Name: 632689061d32b

Now, we can construct the endpoint address that Flowcaster needs to direct the feed to 5th Kind's LIVE Room and to which Stream. Open Flowcaster and open the "Config" tab. Here you can set Flowcaster's application streaming or "Creative Software" if you are using Flowcaster's Plugin for Adobe Premiere, After Effects or Avid for example. The values and options are the same.

Transmit Type: Whip

URL: whip://director.millicast.com/api/whip/[WebRTC Stream Name]?auth=[WebRTC Publishing Token]

In the example above, the URL is:

[WebRTC Stream Name] = 632689061d32b

[WebRTC Publishing Token] =

41006772efa5244628501335600e52ce4f08581a88418bce796159cXXXXXXXXX

Double check that that the round checkbox is selected for either "This Application" or "Creative Software" depending on your setup.

The panel will have "Creative Software" configuration.

Once you set the "Creative software", it will use the same configuration for Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects and Avid.

Additional setttings available:

When Flowcaster is configured with WebRTC protocol to 5thKind's URL and Stream Name Label, you should see that the "Stream is OFF" updates to "Streaming is ON" when you hover over the camera icon on 5th Kind's LIVE Room Stream status indicator on the lower right corner of the panel. In the below example, the Stream is labeled "witness".

And, you should see video momentarily.

If you don't hear audio, look for the speaker icon at the bottom of the screen. And, slide over to the desired volume level.

You can stream your Premier or After Effects timeline via an OBS + NDI + Adobe Creative Cloud connection. There are some great instructions and resources available. We've found the following resources to be extremely helpful:

Download the NDI tool pack first.

Once installed, go to your Adobe Premiere or After Effects application:

3. Within the Playback section:

NDI and your Adobe tools are now connected. Proceed to setting up your NDI to OBS connection.

Now, go to github and install the NDI plugin for OBS - https://github.com/Palakis/obs-ndi/releases/tag/4.9.0

Once installed, go to OBS.

4. Select your Adobe platform option.

5. Resize as desired.

Depending on your resources and your computer, a simple way to set up an editing review is to stream a Window Capture via OBS.

Follow these detailed instructions to set up OBS with LIVE: How to Use OBS for My Stream Source: Set up a Live Camera Feed or Stream a File with OBS

In this case, you'll follow the same instructions as the article above, but your Scene Source will be Window Capture.

One note about OBS Window Capture, OBS sometimes has difficulty recognizing open applications that are downsized. In this case, it's best to have your application open on your desktop and set up for the way you want it presented.
