Hi
I was wondering if anyone knew what services you can use to have live, advanced broadcasting graphics on youtube, such as DW news or euronews? If so, could you send a link to the site of the program or a guide on how to do it
Thanks

The graphics software with the Tricaster is utterly useless. It's easier to run photoshop on a different machine and drop files into the network drive than have to deal with that.

Besides, a tricaster isn't exactly cheap!

Bear in mind that this is just a hobby! Any other ideas

Learn JavaScript and build a webpage = free. And might result in you gaining a useful skill. Although, if you're building a webpage, you might want to just put that on the internet rather than push it around as a video stream...

What exactly are you trying / wanting to do? I can pretty much guarantee it won't be as good, cheap or easy as you expect, so don't set your sights too high!

I would just like to do something like bloomburg tictoc. I accidentally said youtube live, when I meant periscope

Caspar CG is growing in popularity amongst broadcasters - it's free and Open Source and works with most domestic hardware with the option of SDI fill and key if you get the relevant boards. It's mainly play out software so basically 'plays out' the graphics that have been generated in Flash / HTML5 but populates them as needed.

I believe it's in use in some parts of BBC News - possibly Singapore.

Firstly, getting content into periscope is the same as YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, and pretty much any other live streaming site you can think of. RTMP is the magic word you need to look up.

No, Caspar won't stream directly to periscope (actually, it probably can as FFMPEG is running under the surface, but it's very not friendly!).

You do realise this idea requires a computer at your end, with a good upload speed, running 24/7, compressing a video feed to send it to your choice of streaming site? This needs to be a pretty decent machine to get reasonable results.

There isn't a website you can go to and click a few buttons, write a bit of text, and suddenly a video appears for you to watch. You have to create the video yourself, then stream it to wherever for them to distribute. Caspar will help you show material you've created elsewhere full screen which can then be captured by other software to stream, but by itself it won't create any graphics, fill them with content or give you a periscope link to watch.
