hi do i still sound like a radio host this nab coverage is made possible thanks to beastgrip
beastgrip's brand new beast cage for iphone 13 is out now with its solid metal design quick release
and multiple mounting points it is simply the best cage out there for anyone filming with their brand
new iphone add some b-script action handles and other accessories to create the ultimate iphone
filmmaking setup check out the beast cage in the description below what's up guys well i'm
back from nab and it took a toll on me see at the start of the weekend i was gonna push out
so much content for you guys this is gonna be fun and then nab happened it was amazing
and about halfway through started losing my voice here it is two days after the event
and we're still slowly recovering anyway nab was super awesome had a fantastic time i got to not
only take a couple photos with but literally hang with some of the legends of youtube we're talking
about potato jet joshio armando fiera dave mays tyler stallman caleb pike terry warfield
the awesome guys at condor blue angel bird atomos and the majority of guys from corridor digital
forgot to ask for a photo with them so you're just gonna have to take my word for it and although it
wasn't a long interaction cherry on top did get a fist bump from valatina v her art installation at
the aperture booth was awesome in this video we're gonna talk about my favorite thing by far of the
whole event and that is this whole new camera to cloud technology just got the greatest email ever
let's just say a certain beta for an app i've been waiting to go on ipad for a very very long time
may have just emailed with an invite to the beta so install install okay i don't think i can talk
about that just yet annie who's where was i camera to cloud technology just in case you're brand new
to the world of filmmaking let's talk about the very general workflow that you go through when
you film something and then need to edit it step one you get a camera step two you record something
step three you take the footage off said hard drive of that camera step four i think we're
on step four you import it into the computer you organize it and then let's say you're not
the editor step five is one of two options you are either going to pack up that hard drive and
ship it off to your editor which is going to take a couple days or you can take all that footage and
upload it somewhere to the cloud that you can then share or you may take that original footage put it
through some sort of transcoding software create proxies whatever and then you'll upload those
proxies to a cloud service your editor then begins work on the edits and again either they ship back
a hard drive to you or they upload everything again for you to download kind of compile the
final project together well companies like frame io and atomos are about to change all of that so
camera to cloud is essentially where as soon as you are done recording a clip a proxy version
of the file would immediately be uploaded to my frame io account in a project folder i had preset
up that my editor could have immediate access to that means by the time you're done with your shoot
they already have all the footage now how you do this is a handful of different ways so if you're
using an sdi based camera then you can use one of the latest teradek products and that is going to
have framio'd cloud technology built in the filmic pro app has also been updated to include this
it's not confirmed yet but i was hanging out with beastgrip of course at the show and then we're
doing a little talkie talk to frame io and so and i imagine the integration is coming to the beast
cam app as well soon of course you can check on updates for that in the links in the description
or if you have a hdmi based camera like a lot of us do that's where you're going to want to use
one of the latest atomos projects the ninja 5 the 5 plus or the shogun 7. now with all
of these products you're going to be able to upload a couple flavors of proxy depending on
what your network strength is so if you're in a place that doesn't have super great um upload
and download speeds maybe you just want to upload a 720p small proxy file or you can upload a very
crisp 1080p h265 file which of course is going to be great for low storage but still high quality
and you can choose to upload automatically after each clip is created or you can ask for a prompt
to show up basically asking if you want uh that specific clip to be uploaded each and every time i
personally like the auto upload just seems easier and what's so great is the proxy file that is
generated keeps the same file name as the original file that's being saved to whatever memory card
you're saving locally because of course you're not only doing a cloud copy here that would be very
dangerous now one of the biggest questions that we asked at the show is what if you're in the middle
of the nowhere where there's no network then of course it's just going to basically save them in a
buffer and then as soon as you get back to a wi-fi network those clips will automatically upload now
hopefully in the coming weeks i'm actually going to get my hands on a lot of these new products and
i'm going to be able to test out a lot of these scenarios to see how automatic it is how well it
works when you go from no wi-fi to wi-fi but in the demos that they were showing off at the show
this thing was blazing fast the only thing we couldn't really test that i didn't really see
was larger files so for example this talking head if i were to talk to 40 minutes or so how long
would it take for that proxy to show up on framio i wasn't able to test that out everything the
demos were showing us was you know 20 seconds at best and now that frame i o is directly integrated
under adobe's umbrella if you're paying for an adobe subscription you actually get 100 gigs
of frame io cloud storage for free free as in included in your membership and that's going to be
plenty of space for a ton of these proxies like i said i'm going to be going in depth with all these
physical products hands-on from atomos and other companies so definitely get subscribed
if you haven't already let me know down in the comments below what scenarios i should
test out what do you guys think is this as earth shattering and amazing innovation as i think it is
or do you think it's not that big of a deal let me know down in the comments below
and stick around for more coverage from my nab experience this year i got a lot more
cool things to talk about thanks so much for watching guys i'll see you in the next one
