GETTING STARTED

Four things to know before your next production.

01

Set up your production

Add and connect your supported production systems in Production Assist. Check that each device or application is reachable before relying on it for a service or recording.

Supported systems ↓
02

Capture what works

Save a snapshot of supported equipment settings as a Preset or Shot. You can decide which settings should be restored and which should only be monitored.

03

Preview before changing

Compare your saved setup with the equipment's current settings. Review a proposed change before applying it, so nothing unexpected is changed.

Prepare your presentation

For supported ProPresenter workflows, use AI-assisted preparation to create editable presentations from notes and supplied media, then review the slides.

CONNECTIONS

Connect the systems you're already using.

Production Assist provides integrations for supported Blackmagic ATEM, OBS Studio, ProPresenter 21 and FreeShow configurations. Available controls vary with device models, software versions, connection settings and permissions.

Start by adding the production system in Setup. Confirm the connection and its available capabilities; a connected device does not necessarily mean every function is supported.

CAPTURE & RESTORE

Your saved settings stay under your control.

Presets and Shots let you save useful equipment settings for repeatable production tasks. In Manage, you choose which supported settings should be restored when that Preset or Shot is used.

Production Assist can preview differences without changing equipment. When you intentionally apply a supported change, it checks the current state and verifies the result wherever the connected system provides reliable readback.

If a setting cannot be safely changed or verified, Production Assist does not silently pretend it was restored.

PROPRESENTER

Prepare slides without rebuilding everything yourself.

Production Assist supports AI-assisted creation and revision of editable ProPresenter presentations within its qualified preparation workflow. The ProPresenter Companion provides native preparation capabilities when properly installed, paired and connected.

Keep the presentation in your selected library, review the finished slides, and confirm all requested text and media are present before using them in a live service. AI preparation does not independently operate live equipment or change your live output.
