Playback
Outputs a signal directly from Adobe Character Animator CC without any keying.
Internal Keying
This option allows you to superimpose your animated character over another video source
using your Desktop Video device’s internal keyer. For example, the background could be a
video of a location relevant to a news story and the character could be superimposed over the
top providing a live interview. Another option would be to have the character superimposed
over the broadcast feed and sit in the bottom corner like a logo or watermark, providing
reactions to the content that is being broadcast.
Fill/Key
If you want to perform the keying using an external switcher, for example an ATEM switcher, you
can set the output mode to fill/key. The fill signal is the animated character and the key signal is
the grayscale mask that tells a keyer to make the space around the character transparent. This
allows the keyer to superimpose the character over a background.
Final Cut Pro X
You can use the A/V output option in Final Cut Pro X to output your video through
Blackmagic Design video hardware. If you are using a Desktop Video device that supports
HDR, you can also view and edit HDR video with a wide color gamut on a compatible television
or monitor.

Setting Up Final Cut Pro X
1 Ensure you are running Final Cut Pro X 10.0.4 or later with the latest version of Mac OS.
2 Open Blackmagic Desktop Video Setup. Click on the ‘video standard’ drop down
menu and then set the same format that you will use in your Final Cut Pro X project.
For example, 2160p29.97. The format should be the same as the video format of your
clips. The video standard setting also determines the monitoring video output mode.
Set the ‘output format’ to match your Final Cut Pro X project format.
