Questions

(7:07) That map was 🔥

(7:13) If we put in full addresses will the map zoom down to street level?

(8:22) Q how do you do the map effect at the beginning of your show?

(9:24) Q: Any suggestions on fighting Covid Aaron?

(9:29) @Jules Apatini Oh man, are you fighting the Covid?

(9:30) hope you feel better Jules

(9:32) @Jules Apatini sorry to hear, definitely well wishes and feel better 😥

(11:10) Q: Have you even done live steming on a website not useing YouTube

(15:13) It would be fun to buy you a drink. Or, at least a coffee (at NAB)

(15:23) There must be another keyboard somewhere in all that kit you have

(15:31) Q: John has a map coming in H2RG right?

(15:55) Q: If you use MixEffects with the Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro Extreme, does that avoid having to construct Macros in the ATEM? Macros “spook” me. Hank

(19:40) These days Bitfocus companion is becoming almost Macro like

(19:42) Especially with version 3.0

(20:09) Ecamm Live vs. Streamyard? What's your recommendation? Something else??

(21:33) Restream also has easy remote guest stuff

(22:18) Q: I use Atem Mini Pro with eCamm. But when I change cameras on the Atem, I want the ecamm greenscreen feature to turn off (because only my main camera has a green screen in front of it,). Any ideas?

(23:20) For companion, if you don't set relative delay then all commands run at same time and delay is from 0 vs delay from previous command. So you might not have needed to that action down.

(24:28)

(25:57) Thanks. I'll try that (greenscreen in Atem)

(26:05) Q: What was the name of the 1st one?

(26:11) @shane and hannah holland it was Owncast

(26:37) Is it preferable to record a green screen when it is not during daylight?

(27:51) Hello from FL

(28:13) Recently I bought the Atomos ZATO Connect to record a better quality video from the YoloBox Pro Program Out. Also, the ZATO works as a backup to stream, for just $299. Not bad!

(29:30) I just put together a Sonnet Echo Express Expansion Chassis and paired it with Blackmagic Decklink Quad HDMI card to livestream on ECAMM

(30:04) Q: Do you think if it is possible for the next ATEM Mini product to be able to have its HDMI/SDI ports to show as separate inputs like how the Decklink Quad can with the Desktop Video software

(30:53) Im using the M1 mac with my setup and it work perfect

(32:56) Hope to make it to NAB this year. Depends if I can get time away from the day job at the University.

(35:08) Everyone hit the like button for Aaron!

(35:20) Next week pics WILL BE READY!

(35:26) Q: what is your take on upgrade to M2 14 inch if you already have the M1 14 inch? Is it worth the extra 700? Basically using it for video editing.

(37:04) Q: Thanks for the code work on the Chat plugin! Any more cool code plugins for us?

(37:37) @shane and hannah holland to start out, start small, and best part is Owncast is free, so you can see how it goes, not a HUGE risk to start. But you own the stream, just like the title sez 👍

(39:23) PeerTube also has live streaming built in.

(39:56) Q: Can i make an instant replay with atem mini xtreme iso? I mean from not the same angle.

(42:02) does it hurt your ATEM MINI or Extreme ISO on/off; do you keep those on all the time?

(42:53) The Yolobox Pro instant replay is pretty slick and easy

(43:34) @Ratchet Up Your Art I leave mine on all the time. Work one was last rebooted when recording froze up, home one when I wanted to turn off the very bright buttons.

(44:19) Q: Is there any trade-in program to replace my ATEM Mini Extreme ISO to an SDI version?

(44:47) I just got the GH6 and Suiri anamorphic 35mm f/1.8 lens how do you set the Yolobox Pro to display the 2.40:1 scale without cropping? What’s the special sauce to get that cinematic picture?

(47:10) Can't you desqueeze in the camera?

(48:15) I'm suffering with the HDMI version in my flykit.

(48:32) One option on the instant reply might be to use your ATEM in concert with a Yolobox Pro (send one output from the ATEM to the Yolobox and then feed the Yolobox output back to one of the ATEM inputs)

(49:06) No. On the GH6 it's apparently only possible in recordings. I just googled it.

(49:14) What I do for Instant Replay is ATEM + OBS Studio with some plugins.

(49:31) Q: Ecamm Live vs. YoloLiv? Your thoughts/recommendations??

(50:08) Q: I'm a piano player/teacher, want simple livestream solution, debating software vs. tactile solution... Q: Ecamm Live vs. YoloLiv? Your thoughts/recommendations??

(53:10) Dedicated streaming devices seem to be more reliable than software running on general purpose computers

(53:42) Q Looking for a good topdown camera to use for to show what I'm currently working on, any recommendations? Not wanting to spend thousands

(55:55) ZV-E10!

(56:17) Q. w/ the computer interface; could you put your ATEM Xtreme ISO in your data closet (if it was on the network) w/ your NAS and other gear?

(57:10) Q What if you dedicate a computer solely for handling the stream? No email, web browsing, etc.?

(57:43) Q: Any suggestion for HDMI splitter to use with ATEM to take input into ATEM and out to a monitor that isn't cheap plastic?

(58:46) Q Haha, could you switch your stream with some reserved Midi notes while also playing music on your keyboard?

(58:59) How long have you guys had those OREI splitters? We need to upgrade the cheapos we've been using for the last two years. Had to unplug/replug one this morning.

(59:24) The problem I find with general purpose computers is that you have issues with operating system updates, software updates, and of course lots of stuff running in the background

(1:00:29) got here late :(

(1:03:13) The House Files - The tri-plex-ening. Worth every minute you spend watching it.

(1:03:28) Q: when you were using mini-converters did you ever load LUTs into them to change colour balance from your cameras? I'm trying to match a PTZ SDI camera with poor colour to the ATEM Extreme.

(1:04:04) @IT Never Gets Old Indeed, even Pro vMix users will have a Windows Update occur during a paying live gig. It happens.

(1:04:24) @Let Your Nerd Be Heard He's said he's active on Here To Record's (H2R) discord.

(1:05:01) If I take a sdi output from an SDI extreme into a Blackmagic bidirectional converter can I take the HDMI out to a monitor and the sdi output to another device

(1:08:39) Q. love your monitor set up.. where did you get your monitor mounts?

(1:11:00) Q: What's in that big white can on your desk? Whisky?

(1:11:11) Jitter is supersource only

(1:12:10) Hi from San Mateo, Ca. Aaron, would love to see you on the Office Hours panel. Always look forward to your Sunday stream! Thank you.

(1:12:41) @Nils Braune ah!, I have something like that on my desk but it has a bottle of malt whisky in it.

(1:13:08) Fiber HDMI cables are really great! I have used 100 ft ones with no problems

(1:13:25) Have you noticed the glitch on your lower thirds? There's a line across the screen that flickers occasionally. I've noticed it over the past few weeks. I think it's a genlock issue.

(1:13:39) Have you noticed the glitch on your lower thirds? There's a line across the screen that flickers occasionally. I've noticed it over the past few weeks. I think it's a genlock issue.

(1:13:51) Yes, the chat

(1:14:02) Yes, the chat

(1:14:21) There's a faded black line across the bottom.

(1:15:53) I didn't notice until he said something.

(1:15:55) It's really hard to see but the image just jumps slightly whenever you have chat on screen

(1:16:02) It's really hard to see but the image just jumps slightly whenever you have chat on screen

(1:16:08) It's in the middle of the chat, it's more noticeable on two line comments.

(1:16:12) Have you noticed the glitch on your lower thirds? There's a line across the screen that flickers occasionally. I've noticed it over the past few weeks. I think it's a genlock issue.

(1:16:21) I wonder if it a YouTube artifact

(1:17:03) What's weird is the top right box of the multiview is missing the grey line.

(1:20:36) He's got a PiP overlay in the upper-right

(1:20:37) great tunnel vision hack

(1:20:39) Thankyou for no tunnel-vision. We practically had forgotten the hack.

(1:20:43) Very nice! Will there ever be a livestream where I DON'T learn something?

(1:20:47) I watch YouTube on PS4 version of YT. Don't see it on my big TV screen.

(1:20:56) Now you have me debating on just using vmix on my PC or getting a BM switcher

(1:21:18) Q; Do you find your bigger and newer ATEMs to be a bit more glitchy than the ATEM minis?

(1:22:35) I don't think it's a compression issue as it only happens on the chat. I think there's a rogue frame rate somewhere. Or maybe the key and fill aren't in sync.

(1:23:00) I've used BM switchers & Tricasters, Maybe I should just get a tricaster and call it done🤣

(1:23:09) what to do to play scrolling text

(1:24:57) I Only see it in long messages which have more than one line.

(1:25:05) It's for literally one frame at a time. I will see if I can take a screen shot

(1:25:17) Q: What do you use for supersources? H2R Layout, MixEffect Pro, Macros?

(1:26:21) Q: Do you use MacMini or MacMini M1 for your computers?

(1:26:57) What eould you advise streaming directly from the Atem or Using OBD

(1:27:31) Q: What do you prefer in the Super Source, animations or stingers?

(1:28:14) I don't have discord. I've taken a screenshot and uploaded it to Google Drive. Is there somewhere I can send it? I imagine I can't post links here

(1:28:43) Q: What are your thoughts on 8G Mac Mini M1? My brain is still oldschool expecting 16G to be the norm.

(1:29:25) Q. on that last statement w/ OBS and Mini; what if all the recording goes all to external harddrive from the Mini and use OBS for the fancy stuff? is there a way that you can separate that?

(1:31:07) Q:: Does anybody know what ATEM acronym stands for?

(1:31:19) Q Evening Aaron, sorry I’m massively late will catch up. What do you use for storage of ISO files after you’ve recorded? NAS, cloud?

(1:34:19) Just emailed it to you!

(1:34:36) Totally agree. I had a paid gig and OBS was providing the entire program to the livestream (liveU). OBS Crashed and my stream started showing the PC's wallpaper. RIP

(1:34:52) @Eddy04tv I dare say, there's 2 types of livestreamers, those who have had OBS crash mid-stream, and those that will have a crash of OBS mid-stream.

(1:35:05) I have my picture set on Full HD on youtube right now and your stream looks great i am wondering what your settings are (Atem, Internet, Camera, Cables) to achieve this clear picture

(1:36:29) @Eric Likness Wasn't it just last week where Aarons hardware encoder crashed mid stream? I guess all options are flawed in some way

(2:06:16) Q Evening Aaron, sorry I’m massively late will catch up. What do you use for storage of ISO files after you’ve recorded? NAS, cloud?
