Two (dumb) questions plus Blackmagic

The last weeks I’ve been heavy running graphics and VTs out of CCG. To CLEAR a channel after a lower-third, after a graphic, I’ve builded groups in the client, so “graphics-in, waiting, graphics-out, clear channel”. Is there a way, to automatically clear a channel, when a graphics is taken out? So, without grouping the items and commanda?

If a template is well built you don’t need to clear the channel everytime after you show it. Stopping the template should leave the layer fully transparent. So the question here is why do you need to clear the channel.

@ThommiTechnik

Now, that I’ve seen the Super-Out-Overlay for VTs: I’m not able to bring in the next video in preview in Mulitview of the vision-mixer (the first frame), what’s important for director and producer. What am I doing wrong? Also the checkbox “preview next item on auto step” does not help.

I do not fully understand that question. As far as I understand you are talking about a preview with a burned in time-code, right? If that runns on another channel you would need to feed that channel to the ATEM also to make it available for the multiviewer.

@ThommiTechnik

Will there be an option, if TD hits „VT1“ button, that ATEM can trgger CCG? Like in other playback-software (like Playdeck, Mitti)?

Problem here is, that the ATEM’s (until very recently) do not support macros or such stuff. You can use Companion or JustMacros to do that. There are also some GPI solutions around, see this thread.
