In this article, we will explain to you how to incorporate a script that we have created
To use this feature, you will need to first have a preset pack which was created on October 2023 (and onwards).
You will also need to make sure you have a stable internet connection.
The way that the script works is that it sends the photos that the camera takes to an AI removal tool which removes the background and sends it back to the software. And all of this in real-time!

Get an API:
1. Use this link to create an account
2. Once you are logged in to your account, you can get your API key. Click on the API Key tab to find your API Key
3. Copy and paste the API that was generated for you and save it in a text file for future use.
Implementing the API:
1. Open your Preset Pack.
Click to open the file explorer and go to This PC/C: drive/MirrorMeBooth/Events/MyFirstEvent/Raw
2. Locate the AI_Background_Removal.bat file, right-click it, and select Edit.
This will open a notepad file.
3. In the notepad, replace where it says YOUR_API_KEY with the key you copied earlier.
4. Save.
* You can use this file in different event folders, but if you do - make sure to edit the file again and change the path to match your event name.
For example, If you use the MyFirstEvent folder, the path in the script will appear to be: C:\MirrorMeBooth\Events\MyFirstEvent\raw\temp.jpg
Make sure to keep the .bat file in the Raw folder of your Event folder
Workflow Setup:
1. Add an External Script state in your workflow and load the .bat file created.
2. Add another Feature state of Reload Raw Photos. Make sure to place at least one animation state in between, to give a short time buffer so the script will be applied (it takes ~5 seconds)
That's it!
