Holographics

Taking the time to prepare awesome broadcast graphics for your live-stream or promotion and/or giveaway-based websites using specialized apps such as Photoshop or After Effects can yield fantastic results.

However, there's one big drawback with this kind of approach: time. Building live graphics with specialized apps can usually take upwards of a couple of hours, if not days.

That's exactly why Holographics was created. In short, Holographics is a smart and very useful app that allows you to create a wide array of live graphics with nothing more than a few mouse clicks. Instead of spending hours on end creating live graphics using specialized software, you can do it in less than 5 minutes.

Let's start with the basics. The supported live graphics are as follows: lower-thirds, messages, ticker tapes, clocks, animated logos, and so forth.

These graphic elements can be added to a wide range of projects of any size. Holographics is compatible with OBS, V-Mix, Wirecast, Xsplit, CasparCG, Livestream Studio, and many more. What's more, because the live graphics are vector-based, they can be used at any resolution (HD, 4K, and 8K included).

All the graphics can be custom styled with the help of themes (which are simple CSS files). One of the best things about this app is that these graphics can be tailored even further with a little bit of CSS knowledge.

Better yet, the Widgets (JavaScript & HTML), Themes (CSS), and Animations (JavaScript) can all be customized according to your needs.

By now, it should be clear that Holographics is not designed to be an all-encompassing design tool, but rather a time-saving one.

Learning the ropes is extremely easy. To get started, install and launch the app. Click the "+ADD" button to preview the available widgets. Click on any of the widgets to add it to your project.

If the selected widgets have entries, click "New entry" to add a name, type in the rest of the required information, and click "Create." By pressing the corresponding "Show" button, you can visualize the widget.

From this point onwards, you can either add the widget to your project (live stream, website, etc.), or you can fiddle with it some more by accessing the Settings section from the hamburger menu (on the upper left side).

Holographics may not be the best choice for users looking for professional or pixel-perfect bitmap graphics for their live animations. Be that as it may, the app is not as one-sided as one might think at first.

With a bit of HTML, JavaScript, and CSS knowledge anyone can customize the widgets and themes to a very high degree.

The beauty of Holographics is that it's simple enough for both beginners and versatile enough for users with advanced web-design skills. One thing is for sure, when it comes to speed, probably no other tool of this sort even comes close to Holographics.

You can create live graphics and have them posted on your live stream or website in a matter of seconds making it a must-have for users who deal with a lot of offers, special promotions, and giveaways.
