In this short video I'll show you how OBS can be used with a Green Screen to make a simple, inexpensive but very flexible recording studio for CZcams videos.

Sony A7cII v A7cR Which Should You Buy?

Sony A7cII v A7cR Which Should You Buy?
What about Edit/Removed Unused? Does that do the same thing?
great video, however I have a question. If you have two transmitters, and one receiver, would the same process work. For an example you are talking to another person who is also wearing a transmitter that is connected to the receiver. Would this group both transmitters into one audio file?
Is the same steps applied to a Canon 6D camera? In this case what software do you use to connect Canon to PC and use as webcam in OBS?
A lot has changed since I recorded this. The Sony software now has the capability to present the camera feed as a webcam directly and OBS now has a built in virtual camera so no need for the plugin. Sorry I'm not familiar with the Canon equivalent software so can't comment on what you may need.
Thank you so much for this video. Is it possible to livestram using this green screen technique?
Yes. OBS as great live streaming capability or alternatively you can use the OBS Virtual Camera and feed the output into your streaming software of choice. I'm not an expert in live streaming so can't say mych more than that.
Hi, thanks for the video. So, if I switch "the subtitles" off, does it mean SRT files won't be created anymore? I watched the whole video but still don't get why I'd need all those numbers :)))
Where would you be switching subtitles off? I would think that you probably don't need all the flight data. Just pointing out that it is there if you do need it.
@@TheVideoDarkroom if you go to three dots in the right upper corner and then "camera" you will find it. I finally switched it off and don't get all those files I don't need 🙌🏼
Good tip!
Good video, some great tips in there I will use in the future
What aspects of professionalism do you think are important or often neglected? How will becoming more professional help your business?
How do you change/ lower the resolution of the screen ? Premier Pro has tiny fonts, difficult and tiring to read.
I think it depends on if you are using Windows or Android. If you have a 4k resolution monitor, in Windows you can right-click on the desktop and go to Display Settings. There you can scroll down and change the Scale. Mine is set to 150% (Recommended) but I sometimes change this to 200% to make the screen easier to read for the viewer when I am recording for CZcams. Does this make sense to you?
Why are speaking so low key?
Not sure what you mean.
Great info thankyou
Thanks. Very helpful.
Good video!! Learned a lot! My understanding of Premiere's audio functions has gone up 50%!
With my a7c the weight would be only 949g. With my tamron 17-28 (420g) it is even less at 929g. I think these two lenses complement together very well and these share the same 67mm filter size. The 17-28 is very good on gimbal with its internal zoom that don’t change the balance. Th 24-50 would be nice to get the standard zoom 40/50 and the 35 for minimum distortion in wide lens. It provides the 24/28 for wide shot group and landscape. The 17-28 provides 17/20 good for vlogging and those that use active stabilization. I don’t care about AS, i use a gimbal for better result and no crop. My a7c has no AS anyway. It has gyro stabilization though. However i don’t need it with the superb weebill 3s gimbal.
That's a good option, and it's an f2.8 isn't it?
@@TheVideoDarkroom yes f2.8. i think a nice trio would be Tamron 17-28 f2.8 with Sony 24-50 f2.8 and Tamron 50-300 f4.5-6.3 (which have half macro capabilities). with that , we can do everything. And it is the most lightweight package full frame ever (420g + 440g + 545g = 1405g for 17-300mm fullframe lenses).
thank you sir this video is very helpful
Great video. Thank you. I get my Air 3 and DJI Mic 2 next week. I'm looking forward to learning to do this kind of video syncing. Question: I don't have video editing software yet. I was wondering what you would recommend for use with the drone and GoPro 12 videos.?
I should suggest the free version of DaVinci Resolve.
Thank you.Very useful and clear tutorial. Now I know what to do with Davinci
Somehow my Avata now out of no where saves two files for each recording. one file being an mp4 and the other one an lrf. The mp4 is super slow mo and has very low frame rate. The lrf on the other hand has very "low resolution". Now i cant use either one of the files and cant really record anything. Can i somehow go back to recording in smooth 4k 60fps mp4 again? Thanks!
I'm guessing that the MP4 file is still recorded at 60 fps but that somehow the software you are using to play it thinks it has a low frame rate and that is why it is soper slo mo. If you can tell your application what the fps is then it should be fine.
great video. It should be noted that the usbC on the RC2 won't power an audio receiver, so the receiver needs to be self powered with its own battery.
Very true.
When i expport the slides , it pixelates and quality is not good. How to fix that?
Is that on the text or images?
thanls great!
Thank you!!
thankss
thanks 👌
Thanks
Unfortunately, LRF files by DJI Osmo Action 4 are recorded in a lower frame rate (in my case 30 fps instead of 60 fps) and cannot be used in DaVinci Resolve as Proxy. Leaving this comment here for everyone who is trouble shooting and stumbles across this video.
Can't we use the proxy with lower frame rates? I also have osmo action 4.
I would have bought this lens if it was 20-50/2.8, but as it is, Tamron 20-40/2.8 is just better.
I suppose it would have been hard to make it as small and light if it was 20-50. The Tamron 20-40 is a good range though.
Very easy thank you for sharing and uploading....For me i did till minute 1:48 which is what i wanted😀
Great Video
So nice 😊
How to you do your renders? Do you use the Work Area or the In and Out Points? Why to you prefer your chosen method?
Doesn’t work for me at all. It does nothing.
Which approach were you trying?
Thank you!
Thank you! This solves a problem for me of how to combine a number of presentations into one video.
Thank you for this!
WOW! You are an artist! Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
Low Resolution File
Exactly!
Mantap..
What ideas do you have for merging waypoint flights? I would love to hear them and feel free to post a link to any video you have produced using this technique.
I need this video.
Muchas Gracias por la información compartida! saludos desde Bogotá Colombia
You're welcome.
this was straight to the point, and very helpful. Thanks!
Do you use a green screen? If so, does your technique differ from mine. Do you need more detail on the OBS Studio setup? Let me know and I can do an OBS Studio tutorial for you.
sir can you also explain the roll option ?
Good idea... I'll cover that. 🙂
This was great - thank you, also 'How to make Colourise work better' which I watched first. Both very helpful. Nice accent. Scottish (or Irish?) like myself perhaps?😊
Thanks. Northern Ireland. Been in England for 20 years but you never lose it. 🙂
Are there any other panels or features that you find a mystery and would like a clear walkthrough. Drop me a comment and I'll add it to my list of upcoming videos.
I learned gold from you that proxy can use for premiere.
For some reason my "open sequence in timeline" at the 6:54 mark is greyed out an no matter what i do i ant get it to play the second timeline in the source monitor. It just keeps changing the primary monitor.
It's definitely a sequence you are clicking on and not a clip? Just checking.
very helpful thank you
For my editing application I find using the second monitor for displaying scripts, emails, and stock image searches much more productive. If I had a client sitting with me I would opt for outputting video to a hi-res monitor but fortunately that not my situation.
In practice this is exactly how I use my second screen. I put the program monitor there when I am editing with a client.
You sir are a hero!
