Unknown: Later today I have a live stream and I want to run
you through the process of what I do to build out the show in my
streaming software. So let's jump on in.
Okay, so now we are in vMix. This is the software I use. And
I want to walk you through everything that how I go about
setting everything up. Really what I do is I always copy from
a previous one and then kind of make adjustments there I kind of
have a base one that I usually use. I'll copy from that, and
then I'll make any adjustments. So let's first of all, we are in
the auto view right now. So that's the first thing here in
kind notice I'm not going to do a full in depth of V max. Just
want to do some kind of high level these are the things I
think about building first when building out the streaming
software. So this is going to work if you're on E cam. This is
going to work if you're on Wirecast V max, just obviously
is going to be slightly different depending on which
software you're in. So first thing I'm going to do is I'm
going to build out the cameras. So for here, I know I have
basically two main camera inputs. These are gonna be like
physical cameras or capture cards going into the software.
So they're both offline I have everything packed right now. But
this is kind of my main camera, that's the one I use the ultra
studio mini recorder. And if you want a link to all the gear I
use for live streaming, just simply hit the card up above
I'll do I have a few different versions of my gear list, the
mobile one linked above, but also in the description, I will
have a guide, a gear guide that you can go check out as well. So
this is the first one I built out. This is the one that if I
need to, because of this stream that we're doing, I have this as
kind of the backup to bring in a second computer because we're
going to be remote bringing in a bunch of people through zoom. So
this is going to be my backup option as well as a potential
camera option. Ideally, first. It's the Camera. Second, it's
the backup to bring in zoom because zoom is going to be very
important in the stream. This right here is the second camera.
This is a PTC camera, which means I can pan tilt and zoom it
in all kinds of different directions. So I can control it
with a joystick. So those are the first two things I'm going
to work to bring in. Now because of the one that I mentioned
before. Because of this one,
we do have the desktop
capture here. So this will be capturing a second screen, I'm
going to have a second screen hooked up to this computer. And
zoom is going to be playing on that second screen right now and
obviously defaults to capturing this screen. That's why you see
the infinite little things here.
But this is designed to capture that second
display. Whereas zoom will be living and I'll be capturing
everything from there. This is the audio for that and I'm not
going to run through again all of this, but the these are kind
of the this is basically an extension of another camera
because of the type of stream we're doing and Zoom is going to
be playing such a big part, this I consider as the second part of
that camera. So
that's the next thing I'm going to bring
in. I also know that we want to do some side by sides. So what
that means is, we're going to have a host, and we're going to
want to be bringing in the zoom call as well. So I set up, I
made this little graphic. So this is just kind of a basic
graphic. It's a PNG, you can make it in Keynote, which is
actually what I did keynote and then I just got rid of the two
little squares here, made that transparent. And then if we go
in here, and we go to multi view, your notice I have
the USB capture SDI
going on the one side that's in on this side, so that's going to
be kind of the host camera. And then for this one, I have the
ultra studio mini recorder over here. This is going to change
depending on how we end up bringing in zoom. Hopefully I'm
going to be able to switch that to the desktop capture But I
have it set up here. Now just because I know the ultra studio
is going to work. So if I need to jump to that right away, but
hopefully I'll be able to change that once I get there and start
setting up. So that is another camera angle if you will. So
those are kind of the main ones I have camera one, camera two,
camera three, and then camera four. And then this is part of
this is the audio for camera four. I just set that up right
away as well and mentioned that right away as well because
that's going to be integrated with everything
that is the next step is to bring in
audio. So I use the Scarlet Focusrite Focusrite Scarlett two
itu as kind of the interface with the laptop here. I will do
other interfaces depending on how many mics we need and all
that. But for right now that works for this one. So I have
input one and input two. I'll mainly be using input one if we
need a second mic, then we'll use input two. This is going to
be one It's hooked up. This is going to be the in person hosts
audio. I always like to add a little music so that if we need
to we can play this music. And then I just have it playing
right now it's kind of playing in the background. It's on a
loop so it should still keep going and then all I have with
my x keys I have so I can turn it off. So I can turn it on. Or
turn it off very quickly with just one press of a button on my
x keys which I'll be using to control it or obviously from
right here as well. Audio line in this one specifically. Let's
clean this up a little bit. This one specifically is for and
which also made me realize I have some of these in the wrong
spot. But this one is for the ultra studio mini recorder so
this is if I do end up using that route. This is the audio I
need to bring in in order to make sure that
zoom the zoom people are able to hear me
So I want to,
because I like things to be neat and orderly and easy to find.
Find that that just makes everything flow smooth. I'm
going to switch this one. And this is only going to be
specific if you're using vMix. But I'm going to switch it to
the audio bin. So that way I have all the audio right here in
one spot, which makes it super easy to find everything. Now,
once the camera and audio are set up, the next thing I'm going
to always do is lower thirds. So I like to make sure we have all
kinds of options for lower thirds and really everybody is
ready to go with their loss Thurs. So I create a blank one
where I can edit this text using the text editor. And if you
notice here just with V max, you can set up different overlays to
have different actions. So because of the way I designed
this lower third, so this lower third here haven't set up so
that when I press overlay one and the same way for everything
overlay one will do the exact same actions for all of them. So
these are very simple lower thirds that I created, I will
actually in a future video go through. So if you want to check
out this video right here, I will go through and talk to you
about how to actually create lower thirds, the simple way
multiple different ways but how you can actually create lower
thirds for your videos for your streams no matter which software
you use. So just tap that video and you can check that out. But
with vMix overlay one slides in from the left and waits seven
seconds and then disappears. So I have that set up that way.
This one is the one I can edit so I have it so I can
change things
to whichever like text editor I want. And I can go through and
make any adjustments on the fly. Another overlay I always add is
the one for is this one is Bringing in comments. So this is
from like the Facebook post. So with V max, you'd have something
called V max social, which I can do a full breakdown on that here
in a future video as well if that's something that people are
interested in, but you can bring in comments that way. So I have
that always created and ready to go. And that is actually using
one of their templates. They have a template in vMix, social
title one I believe it's called. So you can just go there and
that's what I use for this one. But then I go through and create
lower thirds for every single one. So bricks co working is the
main sponsor and the title sponsor, so they're one that I'm
going to have designs behinds created that one, I have one for
our host.
I have one for
11 music career center,
which is another title sponsor.
One for each of the musicians myself because I'm a sponsor
Kelsey She's another musician and on an east side, so you can
see that's really kind of the next big thing is just go
through and get all of these overlays set up and ready to go.
Just want to break in here and say, hopefully you're enjoying
this video. If you are, please give it a LIKE, thumbs up,
that'd be really appreciated. Also, be sure to subscribe to
this channel. If you want to make sure you don't miss a
single video I'm releasing more and more every single week. And
if you are into live streaming or want to get started with live
streaming streaming, be sure to download my live streaming
checklist. This is going to be kind of walk you through
everything you need to think about before you jump in and do
your live stream event. I do this for every single stream and
quickly run through this checklist. I've gotten faster at
it. But I do still every single time before I stream so head on
over to Nick Palkowski comm slash checklist. And then from
this you have basically at this point you have basically
everything you really need to run the stream is all there
including the low Earth So the first real nice to have peace
from there, then I'm going to do just some general kind of manage
the stream type stuff. So I like to whoops, jump into media. And
this is where I keep kind of all the extra media. So you're gonna
notice is right here, a little countdown clock, five minute
countdown timer. But really the big thing here is this. So I
always have this play on the overlay three because I have
that setup to fade in,
or fade in,
it's going to stay and then you see we have a little countdown
timer show begins and you're going to be able to see what's
happening with the camera behind here. So it's just a transparent
PNG file with a little white thing kind of a white bar across
here where I can write a comment, which I still need to
set up at this point. But I'm going to add in a little title
editor, so I can easily add in any sort of comment I want right
there. And then people are gonna be able to see what's happening.
And then they're going to be able to see we're going to get
started in five minutes. So this is anytime we need to run a
break or anything like that, we're able to do this right
there. This one is just leftover from a previous one. So I'm
going to go and close that I just copied. This is how I
usually do slides. So I'll have the camera here and then the
slides here. We don't need it for this one. So I'm going to go
out and close that one out. And here is where I threw just the
PNG for the side by side, just kind of right there, sitting and
ready to go. And those are the main things I first do when I
build out a stream is going through making sure all of this
is there and ready to go. And then all of it works is kind of
the next thing is to really go through and test each piece.
That's the first thing I'm going to do when I get on there is
going to kind of do things in that order. First it's cameras,
then it's audio then it's making sure the stream is actually up
and ready to go and then it's testing music and all that
little extras. And then I'm going to run through for my x
keys as shortcuts set up, and I'll go Through all that, but I
will go through and talk about a lot of those things in a future
video when I talk through more of my live streaming checklist.
So be sure to subscribe if you don't want to miss out on that.
That's the process I use to build out my live stream in the
streaming software. And this works like I said across all
different streaming software's you can do similar things I
specifically showed v mix here, but if you want to learn more
about streaming in general or videography, be sure to hit that
subscribe button so you don't miss a single video that we
released and I will see you in the next one.
