-: This will be fun. 2 2
This'll be fun. 3 3
And so in order to set up a webcast, 4 4
what you can do is you can hook a DSLR camera 5 5
or a mirrorless camera, like that Canon 50's a mirrorless. 6 6
And I like to use my higher-end camera there as well. 7 7
So what you do is you buy a little device 8 8
that will basically tell your computer 9 9
how to understand the camera, okay? 10 10
And you can't just plug any camera in directly 11 11
for webcasting, it doesn't work like that. 12 12
You have to buy a device like this. 13 13
This is called UltraStudio Mini Recorder. 14 14
It's made by a company called Blackmagic. 15 15
And you can also get other similar devices 16 16
from this, it's called Mage something, 17 17
I can't remember the name. 18 18
Anyway, it's right here. 19 19
It's a little bit more pricey. 20 20
This one here, the tough thing about this though 21 21
is you gotta download software 22 22
to tell your computer to recognize it. 23 23
With the Mage whatever that device is right here, 24 24
it's just plug and play. 25 25
But the Mage device here is a little bit more expensive. 26 26
Okay, and because I'm using a Mac, 27 27
I actually had to get this thing. 28 28
It's an extension thing, it drives me crazy. 29 29
Apple always changes their ports just for Thunderbolt. 30 30
So what I do is I plug this into 31 31
the side of my Mac or your PC, 32 32
and then I connect this to this, 33 33
and then I connect this to the camera. 34 34
And sometimes my webcasts will have 35 35
two, three, or four of these things running at the same time 36 36
so I can have multiple angles. 37 37
But I'm just gonna use one camera 38 38
for the purposes of this demonstration. 39 39
So what we'll do is I'm gonna hook up HDMI here, 40 40
and I can hook up what's called SDI as well 41 41
if I wanted to to that camera. 42 42
SDI is just like HDMI, except when you put the cable in 43 43
it locks, so it can't be pulled out, unlike HDMI. 44 44
And I prefer SDI, but I use HDMI right now. 45 45
So I need to get my HDMI cable, 46 46
which is probably in this bag here. 47 47
It's not the most conventional way 48 48
to teach you how to do this stuff, but it works. 49 49
All right, done. 50 50
And let's see, are we still recording here? 51 51
Yay, we are, good. 52 52
All right. 53 53
So what I'll do is I will plug this into here. 54 54
Well, let me untangle it first. 55 55
All right. 56 56
I will plug this directly into here. 57 57
And I'm gonna plug the other end of this 58 58
right into my Canon C300 camera there. 59 59
Now, you can also buy ones that will connect to 60 60
any other type of camera. 61 61
So here's a couple cables I've ordered online here. 62 62
This one here works with a Sony. 63 63
This one here works with Nikon DSLRs, 64 64
most of them at least, 65 65
and this one here works with some Canons. 66 66
I've got a camera called a Canon 5D Mark III, 67 67
which uses this cable here. 68 68
Okay. 69 69
So now I just plug this directly into this camera. 70 70
Plug the other end directly into your computer. 71 71
So I'll put this one the ground here. 72 72
And let me get my other cables here. 73 73
Is this the one? 74 74
Nope. 75 75
Oh here it is here. 76 76
Great. 77 77
Okay, this is a Firewire, or Thunderbolt cable 78 78
I think they call it. 79 79
Okay. 80 80
Plug this in here. 81 81
And then I plug the other end directly into here. 82 82
Great. 83 83
So now what we're gonna do is 84 84
we are going to attach this directly to my laptop 85 85
so we can do the broadcast over YouTube Live with this. 86 86
And so what you do is if you had a Blue Yeti, 87 87
just plug it directly into the side of your laptop. 88 88
So what you do is I turn on the H6 Handy Recorder, 89 89
and when you turn it on it's gonna ask you, 90 90
hey wait a second, are you trying to record 91 91
on this device or a computer? 92 92
Then you just say no, no, 93 93
and just go directly from computer. 94 94
And then your computer will power this 95 95
using this cable here. 96 96
So let me actually get this dude here. 97 97
All right, so because Apple is 98 98
changing all these configurations, it's a pain in the neck, 99 99
I had to use one of these devices here. 100 100
Okay. 101 101
So what I'll do is I'm gonna do a screen record as well 102 102
so you can see exactly what I'm looking at. 103 103
We plug in the audio device here, 104 104
and it could be a Blue Yeti if you wanted to. 105 105
I'm using the H1, or the H6N. 106 106
Then we plug in the video here. 107 107
It's connected to the UltraStudio Mini Recorder. 108 108
And then what I'm gonna do is 109 109
I'm actually going to screen record here 110 110
so you can see exactly what I'm doing. 111 111
Great, so I'm recording the screen. 112 112
All right, so what you have to do 113 113
is you have to download the Blackmagic Ultra software 114 114
so you can install it directly onto your computer, 115 115
whether it's a Mac or a PC. 116 116
And it's called Desktop Video Setup. 117 117
So go to the Blackmagic website and download this. 118 118
And as you can see, it recognizes my device plugged in. 119 119
It's saying, hey, is this SDI? 120 120
I'm like, no dude, this is actually a HDMI cable. 121 121
So I'll click Save. 122 122
Okay, great, and that there is attached now. 123 123
Then what I do next is I open up Wirecast, 124 124
which is right down here. 125 125
And Wirecast, you can get a free trial if you want to, 126 126
or you can purchase it. 127 127
I tried a 30-day free trial and I loved it. 128 128
I'm not gonna download a new version right now. 129 129
And what we're doing is we're gonna create 130 130
a new Wirecast broadcast file from scratch. 131 131
So I'm gonna click plus here, okay, 132 132
and the first thing you're gonna do 133 133
is I'm actually gonna bring in my video. 134 134
It recognizes the device there. 135 135
Click Add. 136 136
Okay, there we go. 137 137
Hey there. 138 138
And if it doesn't recognize it, you can click here, 139 139
automatically detect, or you can select 140 140
whatever resolution you're at. 141 141
Now, I'm gonna do this at 1080p, 23.98 frames per second, 142 142
which is basically 24 frames per second. 143 143
It doesn't let you do 4K yet, so I'm doing 1080p for now. 144 144
Plus hardly any of my viewers are gonna be using 4K 145 145
for streaming as of now. 146 146
And what I'll do is, okay, we're recording great. 147 147
What we're gonna do now is I'm gonna 148 148
make this a little bit bigger there. 149 149
Okay, great. 150 150
And I don't want everybody to see all the equipment here, 151 151
so let me first of all turn this on 152 152
and tell Wirecast to recognize the audio device, 153 153
and then we'll move on. 154 154
Okay, so I'll turn this device on here. 155 155
And it's saying whoa, wait a second, 156 156
what do you want to do? 157 157
Do you want to record audio in here 158 158
or do you wanna connect to a computer? 159 159
And I'll say I want audio interface. 160 160
And then it will say PC, Mac, yes. 161 161
Great. 162 162
Good. 163 163
And I can see here, it's tough for you to see there, 164 164
but you can see that the little lines 165 165
are going up and down here directly. 166 166
Actually, yeah, yeah. 167 167
What I'll do actually is I'm gonna 168 168
do a video capture, my FaceTime camera here 169 169
so you can see what I'm doing. 170 170
Okay, yeah. 171 171
So it looks like this there. 172 172
You see how these are going up and down. 173 173
And whenever you have a device 174 174
and you see your volume going up and down like that, 175 175
make sure it doesn't go to the red zone or yellow zone. 176 176
Just stays in green. 177 177
Okay, great. 178 178
And obviously the closer I get to this, 179 179
the louder, the higher up it's gonna go. 180 180
Okay, great. 181 181
I'm not gonna use, I'm actually not gonna use FaceTime 182 182
for my video camera there. 183 183
So let me just delete that shot. 184 184
Great, okay. 185 185
Now what I'm gonna do is I'm actually going to create, 186 186
I'm gonna drag this down here. 187 187
Because I like to put audio at the top. 188 188
Now what we're gonna do is 189 189
I'm actually gonna create an audio layer. 190 190
I'm gonna tell Wirecast, hey man, 191 191
we'll recognize this audio thing here please, 192 192
which is the H6. 193 193
So I select Add. 194 194
Okay, great. 195 195
So you can see here that it does recognize it. 196 196
If I get closer to it, it will recognize it even more. 197 197
So what I'll do now is 198 198
I'm actually going to clean up this area here. 199 199
I'll go into high speed mode 200 200
so it looks a little bit less cluttered. 201 201
There we go, slightly better, just slightly. 202 202
And then what I'm gonna do is 203 203
I'm actually gonna create, I'm gonna zoom in here. 204 204
So what you can do is you can select this setting here. 205 205
Okay, make sure we're recording. 206 206
Good, we are. 207 207
Okay, great. 208 208
And I'm gonna scale into me more so. 209 209
So it's, let's see. 210 210
It's driving me nuts, I gotta be right in the middle 211 211
of that little picture there. 212 212
Okay. 213 213
Bring this a little bit closer to my mouth. 214 214
Good. 215 215
That's fine. 216 216
Okay, good. 217 217
And you wanna make sure you never touch 218 218
anything touching the microphone, 219 219
meaning the pole, the wires, or anything. 220 220
Otherwise you'll get a little bit of a feedback. 221 221
Okay, great. 222 222
And this isn't perfect yet, 223 223
so I'll center it a little bit more. 224 224
Maybe I'll zoom in some more, just a bit more. 225 225
Okay, good. 226 226
And then what I'm gonna do is 227 227
I'm gonna make another version of this. 228 228
So I'm going to duplicate this shot. 229 229
And this version will actually be scaled out 230 230
just so I can show people behind the scenes 231 231
what I'm doing if I wanna have 232 232
kind of a, sort of a different camera angle 233 233
using the same camera. 234 234
All right, let me just make this a bit bigger. 235 235
Good. 236 236
That's fine. 237 237
Okay, good. 238 238
And then I'm gonna create a third one. 239 239
And this one here is, whoops, 240 240
I'm gonna copy it, and this'll be zoomed in 241 241
right to my face. 242 242
So duplicate shot. 243 243
And this one here will be zoomed in right up to my face. 244 244
Maybe even a little bit more. 245 245
Slightly more. 246 246
Okay, good. 247 247
I might get rid of that picture in the background. 248 248
I'm not sure yet. 249 249
Okay, great. 250 250
So that's working out fine. 251 251
And you're the camera there, so I'm looking at you. 252 252
And if I wanted to, I could hook up 253 253
multiple cameras if I wanted to. 254 254
Okay. 255 255
And sometimes I'll bring the camera 256 256
a lot closer to me because the resolution gets better 257 257
as the camera, obviously, is closer to you. 258 258
So I'll probably stick with this one here for now. 259 259
Okay, great. 260 260
Then what I'm gonna do is I'm actually going to 261 261
create a splash screen. 262 262
So just kinda like a welcome screen. 263 263
So let me move that down there. 264 264
And I'll create something here. 265 265
I'll go, let me see. 266 266
Overlay. 267 267
I could add an image as well. 268 268
Let me just grab a solid color image here. 269 269
Okay. 270 270
Add solid color. 271 271
Good. 272 272
And I'll make it really big. 273 273
Doesn't matter how big it is, 274 274
because it's just gonna take up the entire screen. 275 275
And then the color, I'm gonna grab any color I want. 276 276
So let me just grab blue for the Bluejays, 277 277
because I'm a Toronto, my favorite team. 278 278
And I'll keep this pretty simple. 279 279
But what we're gonna do is we're 280 280
actually going to add some text. 281 281
And so what you would do is you would go here, Overlays. 282 282
Text. 283 283
Add. 284 284
And you could say here, 285 285
and I'll probably use this one tomorrow, this'll be fun. 286 286
Then you have to click over here and change the text. 287 287
So I'll write here, Welcome to Our 50th Weekly Webcast! 288 288
And then here you could type, 289 289
I usually type something like, 290 290
"Please type your questions now, 291 291
"the call will start in a minute or so." 292 292
Hello? 293 293
Good. 294 294
All right, you can hear an echo. 295 295
So what I have to do is mute this. 296 296
So I muted my Mac. 297 297
Very important you do that. 298 298
Okay, now what we're gonna do is 299 299
we're actually gonna go and tell YouTube, 300 300
hey, recognize Wirecast please. 301 301
And so you go over here to your browser. 302 302
And you go directly to YouTube. 303 303
And then you go to live events. 304 304
Okay, so there's different ways to access it. 305 305
I will go to YouTube Studio Beta, 306 306
as you can see right here, my screen record. 307 307
And then what I'll do is I'm going back to 308 308
Creator Studio Classic, meaning the old version, 309 309
because I can never find anything in the new version. 310 310
Good. 311 311
Select Live Streaming. 312 312
And then I go to Events, 313 313
and you can set up a new event here. 314 314
Okay, so you can go New Live Event here. 315 315
And you just select it here, 316 316
and you do all the settings here, 317 317
and basically do you wanna monetize it, 318 318
do you want to have advertising, that sort of thing. 319 319
Just leave everything at default. 320 320
That's what I like to do. 321 321
So I'm gonna go here to Cancel. 322 322
Okay, and then I'm gonna leave there. 323 323
And then what I'm gonna do is actually, 324 324
this is the one I'm gonna use tomorrow. 325 325
And so I'll show you the settings if you're curious. 326 326
Live Control Room settings. 327 327
I have a splash screen I put up. 328 328
It's saying hey, we're not receiving data. 329 329
Well, that's because I haven't clicked Play yet. 330 330
And if I scroll down, there's really not much to this, 331 331
but people will type their questions here, 332 332
and then I'll be able to answer them as well 333 333
in near realtime online. 334 334
Okay. 335 335
All right. 336 336
And then you can go here to Ingestion Settings. 337 337
These are kind of advanced settings if you want to, 338 338
and you would use a stream key. 339 339
And everybody is different, every region of the world, 340 340
and this changes all the times. 341 341
So do a search on using stream keys. 342 342
And so if you wanted to you can go down here 343 343
and create a new stream. 344 344
And it's just gonna ask you for, well, 345 345
what do you want to have in terms of 346 346
how much stuff you can upload or download. 347 347
And I usually do, I do 1080p when I'm on the road, 348 348
but when I'm back home I do 1440, 349 349
which is really high resolution. 350 350
Unfortunately, the hardware I'm using there, 351 351
the UltraStudio Mini Recorder, 352 352
will not allow me to use 4K. 353 353
So this, I'll probably use this right now. 354 354
And the way to tell what you should use 355 355
is you go to how fast is my internet? 356 356
Whoops, ointernet. 357 357
Internet speed. 358 358
Okay. 359 359
And then you run a speed test. 360 360
And we don't really care so much about download. 361 361
For the purposes of Wirecasting or for streaming, 362 362
we care about upload. 363 363
So download, it's pretty good here at my parents' house, 364 364
but all I care about is upload. 365 365
And I want upload to be at least a couple megabytes, 366 366
hopefully a heck of a lot higher than that. 367 367
Oh, we're, pfft, dude, we're laughing. 368 368
We're laughing. 369 369
Okay, good. 370 370
So I'm gonna actually do the highest I could do, 371 371
which means I would probably select right here. 372 372
I wouldn't do 4K because my hardware can't do 4K yet. 373 373
Okay. 374 374
That's how you would do it. 375 375
I'm gonna use my existing stream, okay. 376 376
And you select your encoder here. 377 377
And so for me it's Wirecast for YouTube. 378 378
And then you'd log in, and that's basically how it works. 379 379
So what I'm gonna do is this though. 380 380
I'm gonna go to Events, and I'm just gonna copy this one, 381 381
and we're gonna create a new event right now, 382 382
and we're gonna create a live stream together. 383 383
So I'll go here, new live event from these settings, 384 384
and I'll call this one Test 50, 385 385
and I always do this the night before. 386 386
My broadcast is tomorrow. 387 387
So I always do the day before, or the night before, 388 388
I test it thoroughly. 389 389
And so I'll call this one just Test 50, okay. 390 390
And make sure it's private. 391 391
I don't want all my YouTube followers 392 392
to find out I'm doing a test. 393 393
And what I'll do is I'll check the time. 394 394
Right now it's 3:27. 395 395
So I'll select Today. 396 396
Okay. 397 397
Make sure to tell YouTube where you are in the world. 398 398
Otherwise it messes up the time here. 399 399
So I'll select Today, and the time, I'll select 3:29 p.m. 400 400
It's private, and I'll click Save Changes. 401 401
Great, so now what we'll do is 402 402
we'll select View on Watch Page. 403 403
Okay, and this is what it looks like. 404 404
It's private, so no one's gonna see it. 405 405
And then what I'll do is this. 406 406
I'll then go over to Wirecast. 407 407
And I'll go here to Output Settings. 408 408
And it's gonna make you select 409 409
what kind output do you want. 410 410
And so you can do, I mean you could do Facebook, 411 411
you can do Twitch, you can do a lot of stuff, it's cool. 412 412
And then I'll select YouTube, and I'll select Okay. 413 413
And then it's gonna ask me to log in here, authenticate. 414 414
And so I will log in. 415 415
That's me right there. 416 416
Sure, allow. 417 417
I'll select Upcoming. 418 418
I'll select Test 50, which is this one. 419 419
Select automatically start. 420 420
Okay. 421 421
Then what I'm gonna do is it's gonna say, 422 422
well, what kind of resolution do you want? 423 423
And I'll go up here and I'll crank it up here 424 424
to 1440, 30 frames per second. 425 425
It'll be, it'll say that I need to upload 426 426
12,000 kilobits per second. 427 427
So I'll just select that. 428 428
My upload speed is fast enough. 429 429
And I'll select OK. 430 430
Then I'll go here to Output. 431 431
Make sure it's, I always double check it. 432 432
Okay, good. 433 433
So that's what I want. 434 434
Excellent, good. 435 435
Good, okay good. 436 436
And then what I do is this. 437 437
This on the right side there, 438 438
this screen is what the viewers are gonna see. 439 439
I haven't gone live yet. 440 440
So I want them to see that first. 441 441
Okay? 442 442
All right. 443 443
And then what I wanna have happen 444 444
is I'm gonna clear that layer, 445 445
or clear this layer, sorry, 446 446
then I want them to see me here. 447 447
And I'll probably start off at this angle here. 448 448
Okay. 449 449
Then I'm gonna click Stream here, okay? 450 450
So, okay. 451 451
So now it's taken me live, 452 452
but there's a 30-second delay usually, 453 453
depending on your bandwidth. 454 454
So I don't start talking until I see 455 455
that it's live here on Chrome. 456 456
So right here. 457 457
It says one waiting, that's me. 458 458
And usually 30 seconds in, it'll start working. 459 459
So let me, I'll actually put these side by side here. 460 460
Yeah, it's fine, okay. 461 461
Oh, there we go, good. 462 462
All right, so we're live right now. 463 463
Make sure you're on mute. 464 464
Make sure that you are on mute. 465 465
Otherwise people will hear an echo. 466 466
So, and this here is a card I set up before. 467 467
It's just a template I have. 468 468
So they can click and look at my daily vlogs, 469 469
or they can click here and 470 470
purchase one of my courses, whatever, okay. 471 471
And ideally I would have centered this a bit better. 472 472
Okay, great. 473 473
So I'm gonna click this, 474 474
and the second I click this, I'll be live. 475 475
Okay, make sure your sound is working. 476 476
And this is just a dry run, so here I go. 477 477
And we'll watch the replay together in a second, okay? 478 478
Welcome to our 50th weekly webcast. 479 479
If this is the first time you're joining us, welcome. 480 480
If you've joined us before, welcome back. 481 481
And so the way it works is you can ask me 482 482
as many questions as you want to. 483 483
This is an AMA, ask me anything. 484 484
You can ask me personal questions, business questions, 485 485
career questions, and the call never ends 486 486
until I've humbly answered all of your questions. 487 487
And I answer the questions in the order 488 488
in which I receive them, so if I miss your question, 489 489
just ask it again. 490 490
So without further adieu, let's begin, and thank you. 491 491
And then what I would do is 492 492
I would actually go directly here, 493 493
and people, the questions that they'd be asking 494 494
would show up right here. 495 495
And I'd scroll through all the questions, 496 496
and I'd answer them in realtime. 497 497
Now, what I can also do, good, 498 498
is I can change the angle. 499 499
So I can change it to that angle there, 500 500
or this angle there. 501 501
Okay. 502 502
And I have a higher end keyboard that I use, 503 503
kinda like you see in big media studios. 504 504
It's made by a company called X-keys, 505 505
and it looks like this here. 506 506
And that's because I use lots of different layers sometimes, 507 507
especially when I do green screens. 508 508
I love to change the background as well. 509 509
And sometimes they change the audio as well. 510 510
Or you can use what's called a stream deck. 511 511
I have this product as well. 512 512
A lot of streamers use it, like this guy Ninja 513 513
who basically plays Fortnite full time. 514 514
And basically you click on these buttons, 515 515
and it gets recognized directly by Wirecast. 516 516
And the way you would do that is 517 517
you would go to Preferences here 518 518
if you wanna get the keyboard to work, 519 519
and it's called a Controller. 520 520
And you would add the X-keys, which is that one there. 521 521
Okay. 522 522
I'm gonna select None for now.
