This channel always answers questions before I even think to ask them

I cannot believe that all my answers were given in one video. Concisely set up in parts that also give options. And examples. For when’s/where’s. #Subbed

This is exactly what I needed exactly now! I'm still fumbling a bit -- going from studio setup in the 90's to a livestream setup now has a little bit of a learnign curve. Agreed, vMix is great.

hey john, thanks for this interesting video! for almost exactly one year, my job has turned into exactly what this video covers. I stream and record multi-camera music concerts with the studio I work at. I set up 8 static cameras on tripods and feed them to the Blackmagic television studio HD, deal with lighting and composing shots, and do the camera switching (as well as being a part of the whole audio production as well). during the past year, I've done over 250 multi-camera productions!! (i've been busy) sooo much of what you covered in this video was extremely relatable to me and it was fun to watch, see the similarities (which there were many) and some of the different perspectives you offered as well.

I'm pretty experienced with multi-cam live streams, but I always like to revisit the basics. Great presentation and explanations. I still learned a few new things. Can't speak highly enough about VMix, as well. Love that program.

We use fiber optical HDMI cables up to 150 feed.

its really helpful, i dont need to be infront of my students or OJTs, i just show this video, after then i entertain Question. Thank you Very much!

Amazingly clear, precise, and helpful. I could work for you.

John: great, great, great. What else can I say? Great! These challenging times have turned live production into an existentialist experience: if you don’t know how to live stream your very survival might be at stake. I’ve had to revert to multicam streaming using the popular platforms to offset the shutdown of physical meeting sessions during corporate trainings and have adopted a slim setup using the ubiquitous Atem mini along other pieces of gear to jazz up my online corporate training sessions. Your video is a precious resource or asset for someone like me that has had to learn the hard way what live streaming requires, though I can tell you that the leap into a more professional live production during my training sessions has provoked unsolicited appreciation feedbacks that have made think of a fully fledged startup, hopefully coming out soon. Great great great asset is your video. Thank you so much.

Great presentation! I do livestream at our church and you've confirmed some choices I've already made. Thanks. We are using OBS, 2 R800 camcorders, an AVKANS PTZ 20x and 1 Logitec web cam for the fixed wide shot for live editing. I've learned to use the webcam to switch to when the main camera is moving to change shots. We have some special events coming up and you've given me help thinking how to place the cameras. I also mix the sound but always question it since I have issues and hearing aids. I laugh when people expect me to figure out sound issues. I do but it takes longer. Thanks

An excellent, excellent presentation! Everything you said echoes what I have been telling people and my assistants over the years, especially to prepare and test!

This is really great. I just purchased an extreme iso and own a mini pro as well. What I need help with is pricing out our services. This is a totally different offering for my company.

Yes Hess, pls look into the 4G/5G solution in regards to streaming. You are the best person for explaining this type of stuff. Keep up the good work!!!

Excellent tutorial. I'm just starting in event production as an amateur for my hobby club. It is great to have you go into details about parts of the process that I am still in doubt about. Subscribed for sure.

I really appreciate the Wilhelm scream at the intro lol

Super informative. By the way, you have some serious Wallace Shawn vibes going on in your style. It felt like you were seconds from yelling 'inconceivable!' at any moment. Thanks for all the help in getting our live stream up!

John -- As someone who produces local events for our cable channel and is constantly working for improvement, I have watched your videos for years. I would like to give you a well-deserved compliment for this one as I agree totally with your advice and ideas. I am presently considering a proposal for our small school and community to advance to more and better video coverage, and this video will be very useful. Thanks so much for making your thoughts and experience available to everyone!

thanks this was very helpful

This one was timely. I'm assembling my multi cam set up now. Thanks

I didn't know what to expect from the title but it certainly wasn't a look at what I've been doing for my church for almost a decade now. The biggest obstacle to a quality setup is always the person in charge imposing limitations or deciding to change things last-minute. Oh, and a note about compatibility: Check what version of Windows it needs. Some stuff (like Elgato's capture stuff for gamers) isn't compatible with older versions. If you think this is irrelevant, well you've never worked with other people's equipment. Work a few venues and you'll be astounded by how many people still use XP and Vista.

Everything relies on pre-production, because live events have no post-production.

Excellent

This video is really helpful, I have been following you for a long time, every video of yours is very good

Amazing video! Thank you very much! 🙏

I do agree that setting up good and interesting technology is really good for learning quickly. That’s one reason why I as of 4th June 2021 have 5 Raspberry Pi SBCs in total; 2 Pi4B 8GiB, 1 Pi4B 4GiB and 2 Pi Zero W.

Love your choice of Ted Talk to use. Well done!

This what I need I was clueless to a lot of camera angles

Thanks for all the info Bro!!!

Can't believe my eyes. That was really useful man

This is great! Thank you

Been looking forward to this one so much!

Great really video... I am not in the livestream totally,I did it in corona time more now less I mostly record classical concert on multicam multimic setup and edit them after .Half of my cameras are Blackmagic Pocket line and the other half Hybrid Panasonic GH5s S5,gh5 ...live stream is mostly for my client too expensive and lack of total control is a minus...classical musicien like to see before puting it online. So what I do it is more in production style old school. I did some livestream KZfaq concert as soundingenieur at the mixing table feeding the switcher with audio from the concert and it is not always optimal. Classical music régie, chosing the angles is as well not easy,you need to read the score and have a good crew who knows what they are doing, like for sports. It's why it is cheaper most of the time to just record the venue in log, multicam and edit it in post, and more time to edit the cut. But I can do live stream if somebody ask and the atem iso pro is I think the best tool for what I do if I need to stream as well as OBS.

Its informative , thanks very much

Now I am curious about the trumpet playing. Lol! (sorry for the off topic comment. just always suspected a significant level of musical skulduggery going on behind the scenes).

You're the guy who snatched my coax stripper! (I can't stand losing things. Always end up looking in the freezer for some reason).

really interesting thanks!

you forgot transition points like. Don't try every transition the switcher has live on the air. use mainly cuts or cross-fades only and only one or two 'Cool' transitions when going to/from an offshoot.

Hey, you're back! 👍😉

Hi guys. Amazing video Can you suggest on the dos and don'ts for someone who's looking to change careers and dive into this?

Fantastic video!

Do you have a video on how to hook everything up

A list of the items in the build and links to sites would be cool. looking to build similar.

SOOOO, I had a smigg of tradtional video production and broadcasting experience. But I am A Twitch streamer wanting to try something new. My goal is to have a set up with like 5 cameras, in different rooms, webcams and mirrorless cameras. Webcams I use USB extenders for. Currently use obs and an elgato stream deck to swap scenes/shots. for mobile audio i use a wireless headset, and for my main shot i use an xlr microphone. The goal is to have 2 static cameras in the game room, 1 in the living room and one in the kitchen. This way i could merge Gaming and IRL content all into 1 stream instead of multiple using my phone and the mobile app to stream IRL content. I could have a moderator switch the category and then use the mobile stream deck app to swap scenes to transition to say a cooking stream after gaming. Or if I leave the room to grab a snack have the cameras follow me instead of having a brb screen, ect. Is this something I could accomplish with webcams for now, or would I need to upgrade equipment? Im trying to figure out if i should do a dual pc set up ect. I loved this video because its the first ive seen that goes in depth, and mentions more that 2 cameras.

thanks for sharing.

Hey John. This is great, thank you. We'd love to put Mavis on your radar, too. Mavis a cloud-based multi-camera video production software which has integrated with ATOMOS Connect devices. Would you be interested in discussing further? :)

Hey John, enjoyed the video. I do live sports at a local college and also high schools and youth sports. The Hollyland 400 is superb! I’ve used it in baseball on a centerfield shot and its great. In college it’s a little longer than 400’ and “never” fails. Love it. PTZ cameras are cool. I’ve got one but really don’t use it as much as I should. My question is….can I some how use the Hollyland to not only use it with video, but be able to control it through the Hollyland? Thanks for the video. I’m be looking at others.

Great video. How do you wire the PTZ Camera(s) to work with the PTZ Controller and the Atem Switch at the same time? Through an Ethernet Hub/Switch or do you split the signal?

How do you show the question from the chat using a title? What software do you use for this? Is it vMix Social? Does a host that is in front of the camera can control it using a tablet or a phone? At 22:23

keep doing, good work 👏👏👏

Heyo, i have a question. What major do you recommend to get into the field?

Please explain about the ACES colour space

Hi, I have 2 usb webcam to my Mac. Can those mentioned works? Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Do you know if there is an easy option to do wireless switching? I'm a solo operator with a vision to do a typical 3 cam setup for our events. One stationary cam, one on a motorized slider and one moving on a steadycam (me). I want to be able to live switch from that wireless cam 😲😁 Crazy or doable?

Hey John, what kind of video output do you get from that Mirabox capture card? I bought a similar one recently and found out I'm getting a rather weak MJPEG output from it, noticeably blocky and smudged, and no option anywhere to adjust the bitrate or change the format.

Awesome & Thanks :)

nice video

Excellent sir, i want be broadcaster

I don't want it, I need it!

Cool

What monitor are you using?

Wow

Test test test!))) It's true!

You are like a gospel of John for streaming Bible )))

before this video I saw an ad from Obama to to donate $5. Thanks for reminding me to donate 20 to Trump. I almost was able to escape from the reality that our country was being heisted into the dark ages, the new dark ages or should we say dark age. But I must resist.

Its informative , thanks very much

Awesome & Thanks :)

Thank you so much, this was very useful
