Very good job. I rarely comment on KZfaq, and I never subscribe, but I must say in your case I made an exception. I like your delivery, and your thoroughness. Just a note, I especially like the fact you didn’t ask me to subscribe or “smash that like button“ until the end of the video, lots of guys ask you to do it at the start, before you know whether you want to or not.

Hi. Great video. Did you use fx3 to record this video? And what lens did you use? Thanks

@JarodYounger 5 ай бұрын

All the talking head footage and some of the B-roll was shot on a FX3. Talking head shots were filmed on the 50mm 1.2 GM on FX3.

Thanks for the video! I’m looking to stream a live event and wanted to know whether the streaming frame rate matter? which one would you recommend to set on the FX3; 24/30fps or 50/60fps?

@JarodYounger 5 ай бұрын

Hey thanks for watching. This depends on a number of factors such as the type of event/content you plan to stream, network speeds(higher frame rate=higher bitrate required), and or how you want your audience to view the content(personal preference) and other factors. For example, if your live streaming action sports, a higher frame rate would be ideal. If you’re streaming a podcast, a lower frame rate would be fine to use. There are factors that would play a role in which would be ideal to use.

Great video bud!I see the cam link offers 1080p for the Fx3. Any other way to get the 4k resolution for streaming on the Fx3?

@JarodYounger Ай бұрын

Thanks! The cam link offers 4k streaming as well. Unfortunately, I’m not currently aware of another option for the FX3. Not to say there aren’t any.

@ezlo3390 3 ай бұрын

Hey, I have a question. Am I able to have both the usb-c method connected as well as the elgato. Use the usb-c for charging off computer and use the elgato so I can use the 4k quality?

@JarodYounger 3 ай бұрын

Hey thanks for watching! Yes, it would be possible to use the USB-C for the charging aspect only while using the Elgato 4k for the streaming capability simultanously.

Hey! Great tutorial, I'm just having an issue where I can see the FX3 in the Sony Imaging Edge, but when I go to Zoom / Google Meet, it doesn't give me the option to choose that as a camera. Any idea why that would be?

@JarodYounger 5 ай бұрын

Thank you! Are you on a Mac or Windows pc? After you installed the Sony imaging edge webcam software did you restart your computer? Make sure it’s the “Sony imaging edge webcam” app that you’re installing. I have it linked in the videos description.

@@JarodYounger I have a Mac but right now it's Ventura (Version 13.6.4). Restarted, and it's the right app!

@JarodYounger 5 ай бұрын

For Ventura OS 13.4.1(mentioned in video) the app seems broken so I would assume it’s the same for any higher Ventura OS version sadly. It was likely broken by Apple and Sony never released an update to patch it unfortunately. The software’s last update for Mac by Sony was in 2021, so the software support seems non-existent at this point. Maybe Sony has something new in the works, hopefully. The only way I got it to work was with the elgato cam link method but that would be an expensive alternative just to use the FX3 as a webcam.

I wonder if the app allows for the Sony FX6 to be used as a webcam?

@JarodYounger 5 ай бұрын

Unfortunately the FX6 is not supported by the Sony imaging webcam app. It may however work using the Elgato cam link method but I can’t say for sure though. Maybe if someone comes across this video who has one can verify here. In theory if the FX6 has a HDMI output, I don’t see why the cam link method would not work.

@EthanCasner 3 ай бұрын

Hey man. So i have an issue where whenever i try to actually use it as a webcam the only image any of the software i'm using gets is just that "imaging edge webcam logo" and it never goes away. Got any idea what's up there? I appreciate you.

@JarodYounger 3 ай бұрын

Hey, happy to help. Are you on Mac or Windows? Mac OS 13.x up seems to be broken with the USB method.

@Jawngreen 5 ай бұрын

is something wrong if you are only getting mic audio when you record? What should the mic setting on the handle be? Because it's not just showing up with the monitoring on ..only when you press record on the camera.

@JarodYounger 5 ай бұрын

Hey Jawn, Thanks for watching. Would you be able to provide more info on what exactly is going on? Are you using the USB or the Elgato cam link method? Are you saying that you are not able to get audio from the FX3 Audio handle when streaming/recording in OBS(or another software) unless you hit the record button on the FX3? Are you getting no audio at all unless you hit the record button on the camera? Are you on a windows PC or a Mac? Thanks

@Jawngreen 5 ай бұрын

@@JarodYounger hey jarod, thanks for responding. im using the cam link method and yes the audio from the handle, i only see the monitor lines move on obs if i press record on the camera, im using pc. no audio comes out otherwise . i have recorded video directly from obs and i don't hear audio unless i press record

@JarodYounger 5 ай бұрын

Hmm, sounds like a possible setting issue in windows(OBS) or the camera. Do you have the cam link added as both a video capture device and an audio device in OBS? I’m able to get audio from the handle without pressing the record button on the FX3. Let me know if you have the cam link added as a audio device as well in OBS

@JarodYounger still working on it but thank you for your help.

Can't you just livestream with the camlink method and then charge with usbc connected to a wall bank, and just have spare battery fully charged just in case?

Hey, thanks for the comment. Just to confirm, what is a wall bank? I’m not familiar with that, please explain. Thanks!

Sony software is pretty awful bro. I use a Mac. Thanks for the tutorial.

@harbinger26 26 күн бұрын

weak AF that Sony has such a low res via USBC (and doesn't work for updated versions of mac anyway). Need to drop more $ on ElGato Cam Link 4k to really do this properly (AND carry an HDMI cable)
