LiveApp turns your iPad or Mac with Apple silicon into a powerful video playback device for multicam live productions. Output clean custom video playlists via HDMI*. Connect LiveApp to an ATEM Switcher** for more integration and Alpha Video Overlays! VIDEOCUE Organize your videos in custom playlists for fullscreen playback via HDMI. If connected to an ATEM Switcher “Autoplay” can be enabled for instant playback when cut to the connected channel. LiveApp cuts back to Preview at the end of the playlist. This makes video playback in your multicam livestream sessions extremely easy. For professional use cases there are a lot of additional powerful features. INBOX SERVER Easily load videos directly into VideoCue over the local network and remotely control playback. To do this, start the Inbox Server in Settings and go to the local LiveApp website with any device on the network. Cross platform, from any web browser. OVERLAYS Set up a button grid with custom transparent videos, pictures or web applications for animated overlays. Different playback modes such as once, loop and split make it easy to generate professional overlays. If connected to an ATEM Switcher LiveApp automatically uses the built in keyer to overlay your animations over the active camera stream. DRAW Use the fantastic drawing capabilities of iPad to draw over the video output. Either scribble over your VideoCue footage or annotate any ATEM input using the keyer technology. When connected to an ATEM a reference frame can be captured to ensure precise drawing results. SWITCHER Connect LiveApp to your ATEM Switcher over the local network and unlock remote control capabilities. Find all inputs organized in separate Program and Preview rows and all essential tools for live switching right at your fingertips. REMOTE CONTROL Create completely custom solutions with the API or use our pre-built integration with Bitfocus Companion.

Außerdem habe ich das Problem, dass ich für Overlays png-Dateien nicht direkt aus der iCloud einbinden kann, sondern diese erst in ein Fotoalbum importieren muss. ### 5/5 — Tolle App - noch besserer Support *2022-01-26, version 1.1.1* Bei mir gab es nach wenigen Sekunden einen Tonabbruch bei der Ausgabe von Videos. Nach persönlichem Blitzschnellen Support läuft es jetzt flüssig. Es lag nicht nicht an der App, sondern am falschen Codec. Mit H.265 funzt es sauber. Ich kann die uneingeschränkt empfehlen. ### 2/5 — Ansatz super, dennoch nicht als Pro zu bezeichnen *2021-12-09, version 1.1.1* Ich finde den Ansatz hervorragend. Habe mir die App aber nicht zum steuern eines Atems geholt, sondern für Video Einspielungen und Transitions. Und genau hier bietet diese App bis auf Autoplay keinen Mehrwert , ganz im Gegenteil. Kein Loop, keine Möglichkeit Start und Endpunkte zu setzen, keine Möglichkeit die Geschwindigkeit anzupassen. Noch nicht mal auf Black im Notfall zu gehen. Zudem ist die App unsauber programmiert. GUI: Auf einem iPad Pro 12.9 2018 alles schick. iPad Pro 10.5 2017 kann man bei Overlays bei Split keine Einstellungen vornehmen, da Inhalte unten aus dem Bild rausgehen. Kein scrolling, die App passt sich nicht dem Gerät an. Zudem ist sie auch beim rumspielen bereits auf beiden Geräten so gecrashed (komplette Buttons weg), sodass ich ich sie neu aufsetzen musste. Nochmal: Ansatz klasse, aber aktuell eher Beta Stadium und schon gar keine 40€ wert. ### 4/5 — Loop-Funktion für geladene Videos und ganze Playlists gewünscht *2021-12-05, version 1.1.1* Eine Loop-Funktion für geladene Videos und ganze Playlists wäre eine sehr hilfreiche Funktion in einer nächsten Version. Die Größe der Switch Buttons könnten ggf. kleiner sein, wenn man ein Atem Extreme mit 8 HDMI Eingängen nutzt. Ich freue mich auf die nächsten Updates. 😉👍 ### 5/5 — Absolut Top *2021-09-15, version 1.1.1* Die App funktioniert tadellos. Auch mit den großen ATEM Modellen wie dem 2M/E Production Studio gibt es keine Probleme. Einziges Manko ist die fehlende Möglichkeit die Auflösung und Framerates für den Output am iPad anzupassen (1080p60 Standard beim iPad) Vielleicht wird das nachgereicht. Wenn man ein Hyperdeck als Zuspieler für Produktionen benutzt, dann ist die App ein vollwertiger Ersatz. Deshalb volle Punkte ### 1/5 — App closes after connecting *2021-07-01, version 1.0.1* I have same issue as other reviewer. App closes after connecting to switch and when I press next after selecting the hdmi source. I have to switch to the hdmi source on ATEM for it to work. However frequent crashes occur randomly. Not stable and not worth paying that much if the product is not properly tested. ### 1/5 — Issues with this App *2021-04-24, version 1.0* I followed the instructions on the tutorial for connecting black magic to my iPad and it will not connect. When I press connect on my iPad it closes the app. Not happy! ## Frequently asked questions about LiveApp Pro ### What is LiveApp Pro used for?
