Questions

(5:11) Q:iMac? you got a new one ?

(5:46) Q: Is there a way on the ATEM to keep an upstream key on-air between switches? I always have to remember to include it in my Companion automations and I want it to just persist.

(9:51) wow, I can actually join live for a little bit

(9:59) thank you for your art educational videos! thank you for allowing me to learn from your wealth of tech knowledge and wisdom. your admirer from Costa Rica 🇨🇷

(10:12) Q: is your goal to make all your monitors look like old Macs (also thinking of Mac in your background)? lol

(10:27) I’m new to live streaming, mostly do videoconferencing where I am the talking talent, teaching how to use radio communication…

(10:57) Mic is hot.

(12:15) Q:What was that iMac with the big fat bottom. That is really a prime candidate.

(13:59) Australia is blocked from view on the tv map

(15:10) Q: Suggestion: call it the luaunch pad :)

(15:24) Q:was referrring to G4 I guess.

(16:23) I like seeing your mess @Aaron Parecki makes me fill better about my mess!!

(16:44) Q: have you ever used an AI programming tool? if so, which one?

(17:51) Need to be very careful around CRT power supplies... even ones that are ancient

(18:35) Magewell director mini/one question. Would you recommend it for a kitchen studio that operates 9-5 daily? Probably need a pretty robust stand for it and a stream deck.

(20:05) The radio communications are for emergency situations like if the cell phones stop working so we can get the networks back up again and coordinate with the government authorities..

(20:20) I got a RCV, a Sony ZV-E10 and a green screen…

(20:26) Mostly non kitchen ppl operated

(20:50) You’re liking the director one over the mini?

(21:31) What’s the output menu like for the one?

(22:26) But if you want to do two?

(24:56) hey, just recently found your channel due to your ZV1F Review. Did you ever make a livestream using It?

(24:56) have to set usb-c to uvc

(26:00) I’ve got a lightly used director mini if anyone is looking for one. Recently upgraded to a atem extreme.

(26:21) Q Thoughts on best DATA sim for YoloBox productions in the US.

(28:25) Q: Amaran has a great sale if you need more lights. I just bought the 150c for $251.

(28:46) Q: how do you put that location thing from the YouTube chat to your screen.

(29:07) Q: do you have a livestream on your channel using the ZV1F as your camera?

(30:14) I like the original ZV1 the best

(30:59) I wanted to buy one buy I havent foundry anyone showcasing It as a livestream camera, only for vlogging on the street

(31:11) Q:You did the fire stream from the bridge with the ZV-1 at the time :)

(32:11) Dremel

(35:52) having to keep battery door open would make me crazy

(36:47) zv1f also seems more contrasty

(38:12) Q: It is a bit out of focus

(38:32) Do you think the ZV1F is an upgrade to a Logitech c925e?

(39:15) supersource with 2 angles for comparison?

(40:36) Q: With the new ATM audio routing is it possible to mute a specific output on the atem constellation 2me with or without a streamdeck?

(41:09) Q:It was primarily made for vlogging. ZV-1 original users wanted to have a wider angle when hand held. Hence no optical zoom.

(43:03) See that to wide, that why I like the orginal with the zoom lens

(44:00) this Def helped in my decision to buy one

(44:23) Update- Q from last week- I could create two SRT streams from a phone using Larix- and send to 2 DM's or a DM and OBS. Thanks for the idea.

(44:40) Q:The sensor is a bit better than the original. So even a bit of digital zoom does not ruin so much.

(44:52) Q: I want to create the rotary dial on a streamdeck studio to jump pages. Currently have to go to each page to tell it to go to the next and back. There has to be an easier way to scroll through pages

(47:56) Q: at one time we used 4 pcs. of the original concurrently, becaues it had the super fast product showcase focus.

(48:15) ZV1-F or ZV-E10?

(49:16) Q: Is it possible to use a Stream Deck with a Director One without using a computer? The YoloDeck is the ONLY thing I miss from YoloLiv.

(50:03) Q:ZV-E10 is like a A6400 in disguise.

(50:29) Q: do you know with mix effect can you use a multiview srt feed as the remote web view? If not what’s the best app for an operator to view a srt feed?

(51:39) Q You once wondered if the newer Pis would run companion as fast as your mac. Have you found out yet?

(52:09) Q: Late to the podcast, how's the bike trailer working p

(54:15) "it rolls" lol

(54:15) Q: cool, make sure it stops too

(56:08) Q I might not have seen all the member streams about the trailer. How are you protecting the gear from wet weather?

(56:18) Q: did you change your audio delay back for lumix?

(56:20) Q I might not have seen all the member streams about the trailer. How are you protecting the gear from wet weather?

(56:52) 165ms

(57:17) Q How do you get studio lights without blinding yourself?

(58:48) Companion on a pi 5 is noticeably slower than on a Mac, so I stopped doing it.

(59:01) My Alexa listens to the name "Computer". When Aaron just said "computer" it startet playing music. 😂

(59:19) Q:Next thing you know it unhitches and rolls down the hill on its own :)

(1:02:48) Q Dumb question how did you do that graphic of the trip?

(1:04:30) Q: I think the trailer effect is called porpoising which is quite an amazing name

(1:04:38) Q: how are you going to be ahead of the group and beeing passed by the group at the same time?

(1:06:17) Wow about 4 miles?

(1:06:45) I agree with Lilly

(1:07:23) Q: ZV-E-10 with Sigma 16 lens. What’s the optimal distance from the lens to the face and then from the person to the backdrop?? parking lot

(1:08:56) I'm having issues with opacity of overlays using the DSK keyer on the Atem Broadcast? any recommendations?

(1:10:40) Q:Minimum focus distance of the Sigma 16mm is 25 cm. With a ZV-E10, I would say an arms length.

(1:10:48) Thank you. Not sure where the parking lot thing came from lol

(1:10:52) using RGB + alpha pro res 444 export on after effects

(1:11:17) Are you powering the 360 or just one battery?

(1:11:33) Woah. Feels like I'm getting a stern talking to.

(1:12:34) I've never seen any one run the 360 with a cord. I wonder if it will be cut out like the selfie stick.

(1:12:43) Q:It is doable with photoshop, but you create a TARGA file with an alpha channel.

(1:13:29) Q:Good stream. Aaron. Make pictures of you with the bike :)
