ATEM Switcher Photoshop Plugin for Sports Scores

PostWed May 22, 2019 9:41 pm

Hi,
I run a small scale sports production company that provides production requirements to college sports (soccer, basketball). The sports score template is created in Photoshop and after every change in score, the template is exported (as described in the manual) using ATEM Switcher Media Pool Photoshop plugin to a Media Pool Location or Media Player 1/2 to set on-air.
For a fast paced sports like basketball, this is very tedious i.e. changing the text layer every time and exporting it along, often delaying the real-time update to the viewer.
My question, is there another plugin to swiftly 'auto-export' the template upon edit to Media Player 1/2 position without having to go thru the whole process? For reference i keep one Media Player dedicated to the score template during live play and other Media Player for bugs and other graphics.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance.

What about Titler Live 4 Broadcast, or CasparCG? There you can edit everything on the fly. I use it for all our events. The bigger sports and events with CasparCG, and on the road and music-events with Titler Live 4 Broadcast. There you can also edit on the fly.

For CasparCG you go the way of composing in After Effects, animating in Animate, and play-out with CasparCG.
For Titler you can also export from After Effects. Very handy :)

Cheers, Thomas

PowerPoint with the SimpleSupers.com app gives you key and fill with alpha channel from your display outputs. You can update new slides fairly quickly.

MultiSport Scoreboard from http://SuiteCG.com is another option, with easy to use animated graphics, tracking of fouls, timeouts, etc...And soon the ability to call up a player headshot with ease.

You would need to use NDI Studio Monitor from Newtek and run it in an extended display, connecting the computer to the ATEM via HDMI and perform a chroma or luma key.

If you have good HTML knowledge I would suggest that you use HTML in CasparCG.

You can write an Applescript to make the export a single button press.

With this, you can name your Photoshop files "1 Main Score" , "2 Corner Bug", etc, and whatever number is at the start of the filename, it will put it in that slot in the media pool.


property fileNumber : 1
set ATEM_EXPORT_WINDOW_NAME to "ATEM Switcher Media Pool"
property docName : ""
property processList : {}
tell application "System Events"
activate
set processList to name of every process
end tell
if "Adobe Photoshop CS6" is in processList then --You may need to change this to match your version of Photoshop

tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS6" --You may need to change this to match your version of Photoshop
activate
save
delay 0.3
set docName to name of current document as string
end tell

tell application "System Events"
tell process "Adobe Photoshop CS6" --You may need to change this to match your version of Photoshop
click menu item "ATEM Switcher Media Pool..." of menu 1 of menu item "Export" of menu 1 of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
repeat while not (exists window ATEM_EXPORT_WINDOW_NAME)
delay 0.1
end repeat
click pop up button 1 of window ATEM_EXPORT_WINDOW_NAME
delay 0.2
keystroke ((word 1 of docName) as text)
delay 0.1
set fileNumber to ((word 1 of docName) as text)
delay 0.1
keystroke return
delay 0.1
keystroke return
repeat while exists window ATEM_EXPORT_WINDOW_NAME
delay 0.1
end repeat
end tell
end tell
end if
return (fileNumber as number)

heretorecord.com has a great free CG software that has a scorebug that is easier to update. Its basic but you could tie it to another graphic to dress it up some. Its free and very customizeable
