Questions

(5:35) How is this map created? automatic or manually? is this an app?

(7:03) Q: Wow the is that a VHS back there ?

(9:09) The audio from the Video is overlappng your audio

(11:32) The DVE approach is interesting. I have done the same thing with OBS and the Startech

(14:55) That is SUPER Clever!

(15:26) Q What's playing on the mac?

(15:31) Q: What does the Blue Script use to analyze the video?

(18:02) Q: I thought that you were working on the Digital 8s

(20:14) I actually have a mini-DV deck

(20:27) @Aaron Parecki How many video heads. Inquiring minds need to know. :)

(20:30) MiniDV is still my fav format. Especially when Apple iMovie came out.

(20:58) I have one I am using to dump my old ones

(21:01) I may have one... I could loan you

(21:14) Q: Oh you should try MiniDiscs and DAT tapes from the good old audio times :)

(21:54) @Aron , we do conversions from all analog domestic and broadcasts to digital

(22:07) Less compression that h.264

(22:10) Still have my old mini dv camera 😀

(22:27) Maybe Aaron can do a video short “tutorial” on using Chat GTP to create scripts for production automation.

(23:01) I too. It me 🙋JVC MiniDV camcorder owner/operator

(23:09) Q:MiniDisc was super cool. Used to create dubbed Santana Music on that :)

(23:13) Q: I am currently converting 30 Mini-DV tapes from a Mini-DV Camcorder plugged into and old Mac using Firewire 400 for a local gymnastics group.

(25:19) Not to feel left out, an owner of several Sony MiniDV cameras :)

(25:27) I can give you a dvcam player recorder if your willing to pay the shipping

(25:39) My first video camera was in 1985, Panasonic PV200, it was Panasonic’s first full service camcorder. My parents friends lent me their camera months earlier to record my 10th b-day. Camera and vhs

(25:54) If you wanted to get funky about quality you could de-interlace the tape video as well... probably overkill

(26:45) Q: What format are you going to deliver the tapes to?

(28:53) Q: The beauty of using the old Mac is the Quicktime automatically rewinds, starts and stops the playback on the camcorder.

(29:31) sony dsr 11

(30:25) I was fancy my VHS camcorder was Super-VHS!

(31:11) Bring back 4:3!

(31:18) Q; is there a way to jam sync timecode to an Atem mini pro iso or extreme. I want to use deity PR-2

(32:05) Are you going to upload them all to YouTube - a whole new channel of "Aaron from before he was famous"?

(32:17) Q: What’s new with the house?

(34:01) Q: What audio mixer are you using these days for your streaming setup

(35:42) Q:I thought that you went to the Midas18

(36:11) XR 18 Air?

(36:46) Q: Do you have a flow diagram of you conversion path? Your solution looks way more elegant than mine. As I have to do a whole bunch VHS next so will need to look how you did yours.

(40:23) Hit the Heart ❤, Grin 😄, Party 🎉 or 100 💯 in the Circle ⚪ to support the channel and live stream

(40:35) I literally have $5000 in Monster RCA and S-Video cable in like 3 crates in storage

(41:12) Q it would be a cool idea if black magic. did Daisy chain for the atem mini & the Extreme over the network

(42:02) Wouldn't the ATEM mini do? USB for SSD and HDMI via capture card into computer (with network for control of ATEM)

(42:33) @Aaron Perecki can you monitor the audio remotely on the Rode Video Caster?

(43:34) I bet you cannot monitor audio remotely b/c of Zaxcomm patent

(43:41) Q: How does MADI work on the constellation? What is the connection workflow?

(46:26) Yes you can see the visuals of the audio on rode central

(46:46)

(47:02) Q: Perfect thankyou. I only have an ATEM Mini Pro. I have a Blackmagic Shuttle Thunderbolt but they don't support it anymore so will get a Startech.

(47:56) Q: Wow that is a handful. Anyhow, I believe only the 4 M/E has MADI. I own the 2 M/E, so still gonna be analogue in to the ATEM from a soundboard.

(48:15) q: When increasing the microphone volume slightly, does it matter if you increase the gain vs just raising the audio with the fader?

(50:11) Q: have you had a chat with Magewell before that indicates if they are working towards Magewell Director Pro or Something 😂

(50:28) Q: Out of all the new switchers you have had in your channel this year what would you recommend as the best for a home studio?

(54:00) Rodecaster Video has a much higher price point

(55:34) @Aaron Parecki Your right your no Curtis Judd LOL

(55:42) Q: I am thinking of getting an ATEM Mini Extreme but now the RodeCaster Video is out, could I use that along side a ATEM Mini Pro, to get the extra channels?

(57:00) there are lots of limitations with the GoStream. Especially when it come to Super Source.

(57:47) WOW for that price I may just BUY one

(57:56) One thing Blackmagic has over the others is the ecosystem. Down to the new network storage and Resolve integration.

(1:00:38) WOW they had an open box I just bought it for only $284 OSEE goStream Duet

(1:00:49) Q: Any word if roadcaster video will be getting h.265 and SRT?Also how can I apply for YouTube to receive SRT streaming on my account?

(1:03:49) I already voted for Tom and You

(1:03:54) House files editing coffee! Thanks for be answers today!

(1:04:11) I’m excited to try using the rodecaster to go to our blackmagic cloud pod and then having our editors being able to access the content! Thought of the idea last week. Easier than transferring ssds

(1:04:45) Q: Do you use a audio interface or do you use the atem mini extreme mic. I was told that the mics are problematic.

(1:05:36)

(1:05:48) quality wise camlink is more good or avermetrics uc2018 ?

(1:07:14) Thanks for your help today Aaron, much appreciated.

(1:07:33) Q: I just tried searching for "aaron" on both Rode voting pages and can't find you

(1:07:44) @Craig Creque with the exception of the Rode all 3.5mm are terrible use HDMI or USB

(1:08:17) Q:Only if we could reverse the USB on the AME to an input.

(1:08:21) Q: I'm planning to film a talk with several Lumix S5iix in 4K. I would also like to offer a livestream. Can the Rodecaster Video or Atem Mini Extreme receive the HDMI signal?

(1:11:03) I voted on round one your not on round two it looks

(1:11:18) Q: Just got offered a Cooler Master StreamEnjin Switcher for like $50. I know I don't need it but it's soooo cheap. I'm intrigued! Have you heard about it?

(1:12:42) Yeah, that's why I'm intrigued

(1:12:51) Q: Does the Gostrream Duet downscale 4K?

(1:13:26) Maybe CoolerMaster will the conference switcher you've been wanting. lol

(1:13:32) This is the type of bizarre video contraption I usually look at :D

(1:13:40) Q: don’t you think it’s time to think it’s time to partner with one manufacturer and launch a PK1 mixer that combines all the streaming features that were ever suggested on this livestreams?

(1:14:14) Q: the S5-II X indeed has the 1080p HDMI setting. all Lumix cams have

(1:14:48) And also have the AaronPK switcher be $50. lol

(1:14:54) Q: One real behind the head option to bring the audio into from a mixer without the line inputs is to use something like an audio to SDI converter. Especially if you have an Atem Mini SDI.

(1:15:31) Hi all from Hungary, sorry for late :) Do you have recommendartion which Mac would be the best to use Zoom ISO(max 4 1080 or 720 streams @25 or 30fps) thanks the tips ;)

(1:17:47) Q:Mac Mini M4

(1:18:11) @Aaron Parecki liminalet slash zoomiso-performance

(1:18:57) AJA have this box

(1:19:20) Getting 1080 from zoom is $$$ and even then, it's not necessarily guaranteed

(1:19:29) Q: Would you ever recommend Ecamm for zoom over Zoom ISO?

(1:22:49) and it is $45 per month per computer vs Zoom sessions is multiple computers

(1:23:05) how many zoom iso can you do in ecamm?

(1:23:13) That's a great way to save money

(1:23:30) Q: what other Black Friday gear are you considering?

(1:26:34) Keepa extension is helpful for price tracking on Amazon

(1:27:31) YoloLiv YoloBox Ultra is on sale too.

(1:28:34) Wow. Resolve Studio on sale for $235

(1:28:39) Btw, BMD Resolve Studio is also on sale for Black Friday, which almost never happens. I ran to get it.

(1:29:09) @Aaron Parecki FYI the current BETA on Ultra has been rock stable for me 2.7.1

(1:32:34) Q: Do affiliate links work when you add to cart in app, browser website, etc? Or does in need to be in the YouTube app when it “opens within the YouTube app”?

(1:33:44) How would the 4 people have audio in their ears

(1:35:04) The Boat Drone landing is my favorite memory of your channel this year

(1:36:22) Q: if you have time, highlight reel for NYE stream? including boat landing of course

(1:38:15) Oh, I want a AI highlight app as well, invent that

(1:38:36) Q: Do you have tips on what 5G router or similar to use when streaming at places without ethernet?

(1:40:33) I think Wimbledon had something they were doing to pull tennis highlights bases on crowd noise.

(1:40:55) I'm sorry I'll miss your New Year Eve stream it will be my 4oth Wedding Anniversary and I would like to see my 41st!

(1:42:03) @Aaron Parecki What happened to the Kiloview 4G encoder?
