Edwin Barnes had the idea of doing live highlights for playout as soon as the event ended - a nice way to add to our production values and get our credits/logo out at the end of the show. This should have been simple - just a PC with Premiere and the Intensity Shuttle, however it was far from such.

For a start, the Intensity Shuttle did not play nicely with Premiere - but once this was fixed a far greater issue became apparent: whatever we tried, Premiere would not output audio. This continued for the whole first half of the show by which point Edwin had given up. Once the interval started, Sam gave Edwin the full Hyperdeck recording of the first half on an SSD, which after a sprint to the studio was docked in a drive toaster connected to Edwin's laptop. This worked for a couple of minutes, until the drive toaster emitted a loud pop and promptly started smoking.

Sensing defeat (and fire risk) - but still determined - Edwin tried a last ditch attempt to get the now reinstalled Premiere to work - using the Roses 2017 user account on his PC. Strangely, this fixed the issue, and after connecting the SSD internally, Edwin was able to put together a passable highlights reel with credits - better than nothing!
