What is it?
It's a two-keyframe animation tool for ATEM Mini series switchers. It animates (DVE) keyers or Supersource boxes. The animations themselves run on the switcher through macro's that the tool exports.
I created this in the past 10 days. It took that much time because I set myself a few interesting challenges:
- Should have no dependencies or third party code, so it's entirely frameworkless
- Should not rely on external content (on other words: makes no HTTP calls, ever, in other words, runs perfectly on a local machine disconnected from the interwebs)
- Should come in one self-contained HTML file with inline CSS and JavaScript
Requirements: only a modern web browser (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge).
People will probably comment that tools like this exist. I have only found a British guy that runs easing animations through the ATEM API through an Arduino (ouch!), and I looked a few seconds at a YouTube video from someone who animated Supersource boxes. But those were linear animations, so I stopped watching after three seconds. Linear animations are in the ATEM, they hurt my eyes. Besides, using something that already exists, where's the fun in that?
There's still a lot to improve and test, but have a go at it:

Yeah, that runs online. You can just save the file (choose "Save as..." in your web browser) for offline use and it will work.

Every "device" and "animate" combo has its own set of animation presets.

You can create your own presets, delete the defaults, etc. Keep in mind that loading a preset (shortcut: doubleclick its name in the list) will overwrite what you currently have on stage. The default presets were created for 30fps, so they run too fast for 60fps, but you could double the number of frames in the animation properties.
Will continue in following message, because three attachments is the max...
