Blueprint

Blueprint is a wizard-based tool that guides you step by step through the process of creating fully functional HTML templates primarily for the open-source broadcast character generator CasparCG. Blueprint utilizes Adobe After Effects to create animations and employs the free plug-in BodyMovin to export these animations, allowing Blueprint to import and process them.

Description

CasparCG is the open source broadcast graphics generator used worldwide to generate the graphics for projects as diverse as small schools sports or church services web-streams up to the Eurovision Song Contest. To do all this magic CasparCG uses templates built as HTML pages. It is then able to update texts (or images) dynamically using variable fields.

Up until now this has been a hurdle for many (new) users, as it means programming in HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Most people doing broadcast graphics are not web designers and therefore lack this knowledge. But many are great Adobe After Effects artists. Blueprint address this dilema, by letting you export After Effects animations (using BodyMovin) and generate fully functional HTML templates out of it.
