(8:43) It is that time of the year when all my regular work meetings clash!

(9:02) Am I really LIVE!!!

(9:10) Hi all, Matthias from Germany here.

(9:18) Q: So what is this new playback over network option for the Hyperdeck?

(15:03) He is really live, lol

(15:35) Q: Now if they would simply make the Hyperdeck less file format finicky

(16:02) Q: would this new update for the shuttle allow us to create a 24/7 playlist for an internet tv channels?

(16:57) Add new stuff live

(17:32) Maybe this is in preparation for an instant replay controller.

(17:49) Q: Looking for a digital audio mixer w/companion control & USB audio interface. XAIR18 & MR18s impossible to get. Ideas?

(19:25) Q: I'm new here. I'm a new Speaker and Setting up my studio for Presentation. I wonder if I need an ATE Mini Pro if I plan on only using one camera. Can I do it with OBS and Stream Deck?

(19:49) @Serban You don't need one, but if you keep watching, you'll end up with a 40 input switcher for sure.

(19:55) Q: I'm new here. I'm a new Speaker and Setting up my studio for Presentation. I wonder if I need an ATE Mini Pro if I plan on only using one camera. Can I do it with OBS and Stream Deck?

(22:55) Love your intro map..could your version support Social Stream Ninja, I don’t use YouTube, more interested in MS Teams, Zoom etc.

(25:46) Q: H2RG has map now and social stream

(26:03) @Aaron Parecki - yes, I have H2rG working.. your version has, appears, auto roll, auto zoom and a clean map image

(27:49) Q: When is NAB ?

(29:10) Q: What's the thought on increased use of AI in content creation?

(30:58) Q: I've been trying to use a 2TB SanDisk Extreme SSD (via the USB-C port on my YBP), but it keeps getting ejected. It only has a few 1080p videos on it. Any thoughts as for rejection?

(32:35) Q: Do you use any Deity Audio products? Any thoughts on his professional wireless mic systems? They seem to be discontinued.

(33:03) I hope Blackmagic updates that SSD supported list, some of them are EOL devices

(34:02) Q: the only concern I have is that I have a laptop (LG Gram ) won't be able to handle OBS + Zoom. And I wonder if i funnel everything through ATEM Mini would help with resources

(35:34) Q: Are you expecting to see a box camera from BMD at NAB? - any other expectations?

(36:40) @aaron parecki BM Micro is way overdue for an update

(36:56) Q 1/2: Hi Aaron, I want to enter Fill & Key from my UltraStudio HD but it is not able to extract the Key from Resolume Arena since it does not have the option to detect the Ultra Studio as double SDI.

(37:14) Q 2/2: I managed to get Fill & Key out of Resolume Arena using 2x Blackmagic UltraStudio Monitor, but I wish I could do it only with the UltraStudio HD Mini.Thank you

(38:11) Overdue thanks for Tula review. I had to use for a project, forgot how good it can record a two-person interview session with minimal effort and equipment. Thanks!

(39:15)

(39:31) Q 3/3: I tried it, but OSB shuts down

(39:59) Q: Is it possible to get key & fill out of an SDI ATEM Mini for input into a computer (Declink) for vMix ?

(41:13) Q: Why do shadows in my face show green-ish when I record with an ATEM Extreme in front of a green screen? How can I de-spill that? If I have more light, the shadows are gray, not green-ish anymore.

(42:50) Q: I am looking for a cheap way to get a rim light on my bookshelf so it can shine on me while am standing and recording live.

(44:07) Q: Any recommendations for an HDMI Audio inserter? Have you used one?

(44:53) Q: I tried to connect a Micca Speck 4K to play into an ATEM Extreme. The video appears correctly but without audio. Any thoughts?

(45:33) Thanks for all your videos and help it really help me make the studio. Still have many questions. will keep on watching.

(46:08) We need More 'LIKERS' - people who click on the LIKE button 🥇

(46:17) Q: Follow up to key/fill out of SDI ATEM Mini. We want to send the chromakeyed video out of SDI ATEM into vMix and use as an overlay (vMix function). What to do this since vMix chromakey not as good.

(49:52) We will totally do that

(50:06)

(50:20) @Aaron Parecki talking of green screen, do you have any update on the Ultimatte ?

(51:06) Q: Have Optima projector that will not sync with ATEM program output - regardless of HDMI distance, cable, etc. Won’t even work when I use a HDMI repeater. Any other device to add in signal chain?

(53:25) My Optoma projector doesn’t do 30

(53:33) Q: A lot of the issues with streaming into a larger capacity SSD has to do with relative size of the DRAM buffer, as well as the QLC cell technology that they are using in the less expensive models.

(53:55) Q Do you ever use Wirecast?

(55:05) I hate Wirecast

(55:16) Same thing in 2023 with Wirecast still explode all the time

(55:36) Was cam opping on one gig with Wirecest. Did not seem good. OBS is better

(55:53) Q: if I stream out of the atem mini pro, do I need a hyper deck to record or can I record over usb c?

(57:06) OBS or vMix is where it's at for software. For sure. Wirecast, no go.

(57:30) vMix is a software that can handle many cameras with ease

(57:34) Another down vote for Wirecast. I prefer hardware or use vMix/OBS.

(57:48) Q: Any thoughts crystalizing on what you are going to take on the trip?

(1:01:45) Q: Decimator is always the presenters best friend (but pricey)

(1:02:00) Q: Can you give a rundown on the BMD UltraStudio products for live productions?

(1:06:51) Q. I use the Ultrastudio 3G Monitor to send H2R via OBS to my Atem - flawless...

(1:07:43) YT doesn't like Aaron today

(1:07:51) I would warn Aaron to stay away from Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara, Tokyo. 💸

(1:07:57) Imagine the biggest camera store you could visit (say BH photo in NYC) then multiply that by 8. Eight floors.

(1:08:47) q: so what's on the shopping list from Japan?

(1:09:06) there is a good used camera shop near the Shinjuko station that is great.

(1:09:15) Q: just bring your Insta360. That can do webcam, if needed.

(1:10:40) can you bring in an osmo pocket feed into an atem using a stream bridge?

(1:12:13) or extract the USB output with Cosmostreamer and then you have HDMI out.

(1:12:25) Q: would that blackmagic box work with Ecamm software. thank you Aaron.

(1:13:08) Don't forget to rent a portable router at the airport haneda or narita, super cheap internet, super high speeds...NINJA WIFI is the booth at the airport

(1:13:40) You can buy 4 Streaming Bridges for the price of Proconvert

(1:13:56) Q. Any further updates on your MADI setup? Are you running all audio via the X32 yet?

(1:15:41) yes you can get regular sims too

(1:15:43) Q: in Japan you need to rent. They do different subs for tourists than for residents

(1:15:50) Q: On your trip will you push the video back into the studio or will you send to YT directly or send to YoloLiv?

(1:16:33) Q. Just tuned in. What quality do you use for steaming on the atem?

(1:17:21) Q: saw you recently used 'Affinity Photo' in a video, are you loving it or missing PhotoShop?

(1:18:39) Adobe expire-ers anonymous - Hello I'm Eric and former Adobe User for 10 years.

(1:19:09) Q: YoloBox Pro update, works nice. The audio meter is more real now, but instead control the meters with the audio monitor, it will be better to control the program (master audio)

(1:19:32) I like Affinity Photo, but it crashes while developing Nikon RAWs occasionally.

(1:20:33) Q. The Item integration is broken in the latest PS version - so no loss there!

(1:20:42) Q: Why would I go the 4k to record vs. an Atomos V+ which could double as a monitor?

(1:21:05) 13 minutes time to check in on Lily?

(1:22:19) Q Do you miss being able to push graphics into the ATEM from PS?

(1:22:37) Remote View over Wireguard = "hand of Aaron"\

(1:22:44) Photoshop to Atem connection work now using Atem Software control 9.0

(1:23:00) Hi Aaron, Thank you for the "Split Screen" video. Can I Save more than one macro in the ATEM software? I saved one, but the other one does not save. 😞

(1:25:10) So many people were mad. Don't know why.

(1:25:12) The hate in the comments on that one blew my mind.

(1:25:17) Every Youtuber does it.

(1:25:41) How do you get the multiview remotely?

(1:27:04) It's basically the cheapo version of the TBS2603AU :)

(1:27:31) Q: any idea why the 2ME Media Pool doesn't save on power recycle...? Who do we bug at BMD?

(1:29:24) Ryan Somerfield is going to be at NAB, all the crew from Streamday 2022 should go together en masse and complain to BMD,... 😠💢

(1:29:37) Q: what is a easy way to create macros for the atem? i want to find an easy for doing supersource

(1:30:50) Complain about the Stinger button too

(1:30:52) Nobody cares about the 1ME, it serves no one

(1:33:23)
