Click Create… and I’m just going to do something really simple.
We’ll create a new document I’m going to go to the Film and Video presets to choose HD TV 1920x1080 – that’s the size of my output – and I’m going to set the background contents to Transparent. Today we’ll be using the ATEM Mini Pro ISO, but again this applies no matter what ATEM you’re using.
So, at the end I’m going to show you how to do this without Photoshop as well.
So, we’re going to look at all of that we’re going to look at how to create the proper graphic using Photoshop because there’s actually a plugin that comes with your ATEM that is installed by default when you install your ATEM software into your Photoshop plugins, but if you don’t have Photoshop then you can’t use that. But then if you start doing things a bit more fancy, like having gradient transparencies, then things can get pretty ugly pretty quickly. You probably don’t even notice the difference until you look really closely. You might add a drop shadow and export as PNG and it looks okay. But as soon as you start adding drop shadows, things get a little bit tricky. Now, we’re going to build this through a series of progressions because when you start off with a basic transparent file - a basic PNG with no drop shadow, no gradients nothing fancy - you don’t need to do anything special, just output a PNG and you’re fine, and we’ll look at that. This could be for an ATEM Mini, ATEM Mini Pro, ATEM Mini Pro ISO, ATEM Mini Extreme… you get the idea, any ATEM model, this applies. In today’s ATEM Mini tip, we’ll be looking at how to create proper graphics with proper transparency for your ATEM. And finally, we'll see how to make the graphic properly, using the free Photoshop plugin that's already been installed by the Blackmagic Design ATEM Software installer!īut what if you don't have Photoshop? That's OK! In the next tip, number 5, we'll explore how to make them in any graphics app, such as Affinity Photo. Then, we'll break it with a more advanced graphic. In this video, we'll start with a simple graphic that just works - mostly. There's actually a very specific way that transparent graphics need to be made for an ATEM, and that's something called “premultiplied”. But… somehow, the shadows aren't quite right, and if you tried to do make anything more complicated like a glow, or a graduated color transparency, then things looked downright awful. Your simple graphics look fine, and your drop shadowed ones probably look OK, too. You've created lower thirds, title graphics, bugs, or any other graphic you might need for your live production on an ATEM. Don't want to use Photoshop? Be sure to watch tip number 005! Need an ATEM Mini? To create accurate, transparent Title and Lower Thirds graphics with drop shadows and gradients for your ATEM Mini, ATEM Mini Pro, ATEM Mini Pro ISO, or any other ATEM switcher, exporting a PNG file is not enough! There's more to it than that, and the easy way requires Photoshop.
