How To Set Up Ustream For Live Video Broadcasting

Sherman Hu — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 22:30:06 +0000

Business owners, coaches, consultants and information publishers know that video can be a powerful medium to attract, engage and convert viewers to new customers or clients. Video empowers you to easily make a connection with your audience, unlike text or audio.

However, pre-recorded static video that has dominated the web to date just can’t provide the live interactive, one-to-many, broadcast-to-viewer and viewer-to-viewer interaction that empowers a much more engaging experience for everyone involved.

As interaction and dialog is the name of the game in our era of social media, utilizing a live interactive video broadcast platform like Ustream.TV can enable you to quickly and easily broadcast to a global audience of unlimited size with just a camera and an Internet connection.

Ustream was founded in the summer of 2006 by John Ham, Brad Hunstable, and Dr. Gyula Feher as way to help overseas soldiers connect more efficiently with their families. Soldiers were limited by the phone or instant messenger to connect with family and friends back home, and they could only talk with one person at a time. John and Brad wanted to find a way to allow soldiers to connect with all of their loves ones, all at the same time. Their goal of revolutionizing communication was realized when they created a way for soldiers to stream with family members in cities all over the U.S. and the world.

Today, Ustream.TV empowers everyone from sports fans and guitar heroes to Presidential candidates and rock stars. Popular uStreamers in the news are Miley Cyrus, Barack Obama, 50 Cent, Tori Amos, Al Gore, Senator John McCain and many more.

In addition, Ustream has been used to broadcast:

- Major political events, debates, speeches and rallies
- Entertainment events, premieres and ‘red carpet events
- Music showcases, band performances and live jam sessions
- Sporting events at college and high school level
- Educational, Non-Profit & For-Profit events and training
- Conference sessions, talk shows and product launch events
- Holiday gatherings, weddings, grade school events, parties, and even births

With Ustream’s interactive broadcast functionality, viewers can personally interact directly with the broadcaster. Viewers can watch specific broadcasts, explore Ustream’s topical networks (eg. music, talk shows, sports and politics) or review past broadcasts.

In this article, I’ll show you how you can become a broadcaster by creating your own channel on Ustream (or by broadcasting through your own site), empowering you to engage with your audience. Let’s begin by visiting http://ustream.tv …

Go to Ustream.tv

As of this writing, this is the home page view of Ustream.TV. As you can see, there are many sections on this page that reveal details of Live Shows, Featured Shows, Most Viewed Shows, Highest Rated Shows, Upcoming Events and much more.

Let me be your Ustream tour guide as I give you a short walkthrough of the home page and what to expect.

Live, Featured, Most Viewed and Highest Rated Shows

(1) At the top of the above image, you’ll see that Ustream.TV offers “Live, Interactive Broadcasting” with the opportunity for you to broadcast your own web TV show to a global audience for free. All it would take is your camcorder (or webcam) and an internet connection. Never has it been easier to broadcast a live interactive, one-to-many, broadcast-to-viewer and viewer-to-viewer interaction that is FREE.

(2) To the left of the home page screenshot, you’ll see a Featured Live Show in action. As you can see, there are 856 Live Shows in action at the time of this capture.

(3) In this window, you’ll see the Featured Live Show video in action, along with the scrolling text of comments from that particular show.

(4) In the grey horizontal bar, you can see the number count of viewers watching the show, along with other video features eg. Poll, Play, Pause and Menu.

(5) If you’re interested in this show, you can click the “Go to Show Room and Chat” button to view the Show’s dedicated page.

(6) To the right of the Live Show video window, you’ll see 3 tabs. This “Featured” tab lists the video shows that Ustream.TV lists as “Featured Shows”.

(7) If you click the next tab that reads “Most Viewed”, you’ll see a listing of interactive broadcasts that have the most viewed stats. Often, you will find a show repeated across all 3 tabs, which mean they’re very popular and highly rated.

(8) This next tab that reads “Highest Rated” is one that lists live broadcasts with the highest rated comments for that show. (9) My “Half Hour Huddle” show at http://ShermanHu.tv is still rated on this list, a very proud moment

Ustream Originals and Featured Upcoming shows

Moving down the Ustream.TV home page, you’ll see 2 sections titled “Ustream Originals” and “Featured Upcoming”. These sections highlight additional Featured Shows, and what broadcasts are scheduled to go LIVE shortly.

Live Shows Recorded Recently

Scrolling down the home page, you’ll see a “Recorded Recently” section that also sports 3 tabs – Featured, Most Viewed and Highest Rated. Live broadcasts that went on air and were recorded will be featured in this section.

Upcoming Events

(1) To the right of the home page, there’s a column that shows you “Upcoming Events” that will air on Ustream today, tomorrow and later on.

(2) If you need help, there’s a section that offers you advice on getting started, FAQs, forums, live chat and also a way to contact Ustream.

See What’s Live Now

(1) I’d like to call your attention to the Live button at the top of the home page. If you click this button, you’ll see all the Live shows airing on Ustream at this moment. The image below shows you the detailed view.

(1) Why is this important? It’s key to study who is broadcasting on Ustream, especially Featured Shows with the most viewers and comments. Studying their topic, show details and audience type will give you insights on what’s hot and working for these Featured broadcasters that you can adopt for your own show.

(2) As an example, Chris Pirillo is a very popular “tech” broadcaster with 3 shows on schedule at Ustream.TV – one of the shows is recorded for CNN.com LIVE. In addition, he’s “Video Lifestreaming” on Ustream , whereby his camera is rolling and capturing Chris at his desk or not, 24/7. Chris has a large Ustream following of 2,500+ viewers, 8+ million views and 1,300+ comments across his 1,500+ video clips. Even when Chris Pirillo is working on projects and is not actively connecting with his audience, there are still hundreds of viewers interacting with each other on his show!

Now that I’ve give you the tour of the home page, let me give you a guided tour of my Live “Half Hour Huddle” Show page at http://ShermanHu.tv. This will give you a visual overview of what is possible with your own show. While guiding you with the setup of your own show, I’ll use my Live Show frontstage and backstage view as a case study.

Showcasing “Half Hour Huddle” at ShermanHu.tv

This is the “Half Hour Huddle” Ustream page. “Half Hour Huddle” is a half hour Live Ustream show that airs every Monday. The show’s purpose is to simplify and demystify new media and technology so business owners can profit from it. Because of the show’s topic and reach that Ustream offers, my show attracts business owners and entrepreneurs from all over the world.

(1) At the top of the page, you’ll see a masthead graphic for the show. In a few moments, I’ll show you how to add your own masthead graphic in your Ustream dashboard.

(2) This video window is what your viewers see when you’re LIVE on the air. In this recent episode, I invited my 10 year old son to be my special guest and to help me co-host my Huddle – it was alot of fun! When I show you around backstage, you’ll see the video and audio sources you have to work with. Naturally, the better your video, audio and lighting gear is, the higher the quality your output will be. WIth that in mind, you don’t have to spend alot of money to get a decent setup in your office or home studio.

(3) If you look to the right of the window, you’ll see the “User List” in the narrow far right column. When your viewers come on the show, their names will appear in this column. If they register for a free Ustream ID and login with it, their user ID names will appear in this column. If not, their user ID names are generic Ustream numbered IDs.

(4) In the horizontal text box, your viewers will have the opportunity to interact and dialog with you and the other viewers in your show. The side benefit to this feature is that viewers who are typically shy and do not speak up in teleconferences are more apt to type in their questions in this format. In addition, you control the pace of your show and do not have to mess with muting and unmuting conference lines.

(5) This text box shows the ongoing threads of conversation and interaction between you and your viewers. Hyperlinks will appear as clickable links in this window pane.

Let’s scroll down the page a little and I’ll guide you through a few more sections before we setup your own Ustream show.

Show Info, Schedule, Archived Video Clips and Comments

(1) This section of your Ustream page informs your viewers what your show is about, the topics (tags) you cover, and additional stats. Your viewers have the opportunity to rate your show by clicking on the stars below your Show’s Image.

(2) If you setup a regular schedule for your show, the details will appear in the Schedule section of your Ustream page. Your viewers can click the “Follow” button to follow and be notified of your show before it happens.

(3) After you “Stop Recording” each show, Ustream will encode and archive your videos in the “Video Clips” section. A tip for you: Title and describe your videos effectively will help in your findability on Google.

(4) Your viewers can add their comments, feedback and even testimonials in your “Comments” section.

Comment Thread

In this image, you’ll see the latest comment thread for my show. At the end of my broadcasts, you’ll commonly see me encouraging and welcoming feedback from my viewers to add their comments in the Comments Box. This helps me gain insight into their “takeaways”, feedback and suggestions on what they would like to see on future shows. It’s also helpful that the more comments they share, it improves my “Highest Rated” stats.

It’s Time For You To Setup Your Ustream Show

Now it’s your turn. Set this guide beside you as you walk yourself through your own setup with the instructions below. By the end of this, you will have setup and customized your own Live Interactive Broadcast show! Let’s begin…

At the top left of the Ustream.TV home page, there’s a “Login” and “Sign Up” link. Click the “Sign Up” link.

New Account Popup Box

In the New Account popup box, input your details.

(1) First, your desired login name.

(2) & (3) Next, enter your private password twice, once in the Password field, once in the Verify field.

(4) Next, enter your birthdate details. You have a choice to enter your real birthdate, or make up one if you want to preserve your privacy.

(5) Enter your email address in the next field. Use a primary email address so you can receive notifications from Ustream.

(6) Enter the text you see in the image in the Verification Text field. This is to ensure that only human visitors are registering for accounts.

(7) Checkbox this box after agreeing to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

(8) When you’re done, click the “Submit” button.

Input Profile Information

On the next page, you’re provided with a form to input your profile information.

(1) Simply enter your personal details in the fields requested of you. The only field that’s optional is the Promotion Code. Leave this field blank.

(2) When you’re done, click the “Submit” button.

Skip: Import Email Contacts & Send To Twitter

These 2 sections in the next page are to import contacts from your email account and to notify your Twitter followers of your new Ustream account.

Personally, I would not recommend you notify or invite your colleagues and friends to your Ustream page at this time. My recommendation is to get your account setup to your satisfaction (eg. consistent creative with your branding) before you update your “tribe” about your new initiative.

At this point, I recommend you click the “Skip this step” link to move to the next step.

Name Your First Show

It’s time to name your show.

It makes sense to name your show so it accurately describes your show topic. However, here’s an insider tip. This show name is appended to your Ustream.TV URL.

For example, my ShermanHu.tv URL redirects to http://www.ustream.tv/channel/shermanlive. And Gary Vaynerchuk’s “Wine Library TV” Ustream URL is http://www.ustream.tv/channel/wine-library-tv.

Hence, I recommend keeping your Show Name short and ‘radio-friendly’ so it’s easier to share it with your audience.

One more tip for you. To preserve brand consistency along with easy word-of-mouth promotions, use a short and memorable URL rather than the longer Ustream URL. You can redirect a domain or sub-domain to your Ustream.TV URL. In my case, ShermanHu.tv redirects to http://www.ustream.tv/channel/shermanlive.

As this new account sign up is only for demo purposes, I’ll name it ‘TutorialU’.

After naming your show, click the blue “Save My Show” button.

Your Ustream Dashboard Navigation View

After saving your show, you’ll be directed to the backstage dashboard where you have the opportunity to customize and design your show settings.

Right now, I’d like to show you what your show page will look like without any customization.

Open Your Show URL In New Browser Window

If you’re using a tab-able browser (eg. Firefox, IE, Safari), right-click the “Go to Show URL” link and open it in a new tab.

View Your Uncustomized Show Page

Here’s what your show page looks like without any masthead graphic, color customization and content. There’s no magic or pizzazz with it being “plain jane”. Let’s change that, shall we?

Return to the older browser tab where you have your Show’s dashboard and let’s start customizing your show.

Case Study: ShermanHu.tv Customizations: Modifying the Info Tab

Let me present my “Half Hour Huddle” (ShermanHu.tv) show as a case study to show you how customized your show page can be.

In the “Info” tab, begin selecting:

(1) The Recommended Tag categories, and (2) up to 4 appropriate sub-categories. (Pay attention to this section as you’ll see it in the frontstage view in the next step)

(3) Next, input additional tags (ie. topical keywords) in this field to describe your show. Be sure to separate each tag with a space or comma. When we view the fronstage of the Show, you’ll see these tags appear.

(4) If you would prefer to use the high quality encoder that Ustream offers, check this box and follow the instructions to make it work for you. At this present time, this encoder only works for broadcasters using PCs. Mac broadcasters will have to wait for the time-being.

(5) Begin to “Describe your show” in this box. This gives your audience a sense for your show’s topic and what to expect from you. You can add HTML but not Javascript code in this description box. You can see that I’ve added a hyperlink to my Show URL so it’s clickable. Feel free to add links to your websites/blogs here. (Pay attention to this section as you’ll see it in the frontstage view in the next step)

(6) When you’re done, click the “Save Changes” button.

Frontstage View of “Show Info” & “About ShermanLive”

As you can see, the “Show Info” section reveals the “Tags” as inserted into Step #2 in the previous image. And the “About ShermanLive” section reveals the description I inserted in Step #5 in the previous image. As a result of adding the hyperlink code in the Description Box, you can see the blue hyperlinks here now.

Modifying The Design Tab

This Design tab allows you to creatively customize your Show page. After modifying some of these settings, I’ll show you the frontstage view.

(1) If you would like to upload a background image, click the “Choose File” button and select your desired background image from your local files. Personally, I do not use this field, but I do customize the background color.

(2) If you would like to upload a header image, click the “Choose File” button and select your desired masthead graphic from your local files. Personally, I’ve uploaded a masthead that is 925px wide.

In the “Edit Stylesheet” section, you can modify the colors of the different sections on your show page.

(3) To modify your main background color, either input your “Hexadecimal Color Codes” or click the color box to select a preferred color. I’ve selected a black background for mine with the #000000 HEX code.

(4) Each content box section of your Show page has a header. This field allows you to modify the header color. I’ve selected a burgundy for my header color, #630000 HEX code.

(5) In this field, choose the background color of your content boxes. Personally, I prefer to see black text on white backgrounds, so this field gets a white background, #FFFFFF Hex code.

(6) This is the color field for the Header text in your boxes. Personally, I’ve chosen white text to stand out from the burgundy header background.

(7) When you’re ready to preview your changes, simply click the blue “Preview” button.

(8) And when complete, click the “Save Changes” button.

View Changes

(1) As you can see, the wide 925px masthead is visible on the fronstage section of my show page. How’s your masthead graphic look? If it’s looking good, super! If not, feel free to return to your Dashboard and modify as need be.

(2) The header text is in white on this content box header, along with the (3) burgundy content box header.

Modifying Clips Tab

In this “Clips” tab, you’ll begin to see an archive of your shows when you begin to record your broadcasts.

I’d like to call your attention to the “Past Clips options” and “Off Air Options”.

(1) If you choose the 2nd option, you’ll display all of your recorded clips from all your shows. This is my preferred option.

(2) With the “Off Air Options”, you have 3 choices.

Currently I’m choosing the 2nd option, where I have the last recorded episode auto-play.

Previously, I had selected the 3rd option, which is to rotate through my pictures. Except that I only had 1 image, so it acted as a static placeholder for my video show until I came on Live. The choice is entirely yours.

(3) After making your selections, click the “Save Changes” button.

Modifying Share Tab

In this Share tab, you have embed codes you can copy and paste to your website, blog or social media pages. You can use the URL link to paste into your Facebook, Twitter, blog or email. You can embed the video and chat into your website and blog too. However you do this, it’ll allow you to share your LIVE broadcasts on any or all of your web properties. When you go LIVE, all those video windows will also feature your broadcast and you get to be syndicated all over the place on the web.

Let’s walkthrough the “Advanced” tab for your show settings.

(1) Would you like to allow everybody to leave comments with or without your approval? Select the radial button of your choice.

(2) Let’s modify the chat display settings, shall we?

It makes sense to check the “Yes” radial button to have your chatbox display for audience interaction.

If you prefer your visitors to register for and login with their free Ustream ID before they can chat, then check this “Yes” radial button too.

If you have someone you’d like to assign as a moderator, here’s where you add their Ustream ID.

(3) There may be broadcasts you’d like to keep private and this is where you can do it. Simply check the “Yes” radial button and insert your chosen password.

(4) Ustream offers co-hosting opportunities. Here’s where you choose your co-host preferences. Personally, my choice is the 3rd option where I require permissions before I will allow co-hosting.

(5) If you’d like to see a count of the number of viewers seeing you show, then check this “Yes” radial button.

(6) When you’re done, click the “Save Changes” button.

Modify Schedule Tab

If you have a regular show or planning one, you can click the “Add new event” button and schedule one here.

Sample “Half Hour Huddle” Schedule

Here’s an inside look at my “Half Hour Huddle” schedule. You can add your Title, Description, Start Time and Length, Repeat schedule and Time Zone. When you’re ready, click the “Update” button.

Know Your “Metrics” Tab

It’s wonderful that Ustream offers a metrics feature to track your broadcast start and end times, total viewer hours, how many unique, total and average number of viewers watch your LIVE and Archived shows. You can filter your metrics by time periods too.

Check it, know your metrics, and modify your show to give your audience what they want and they’ll love you for it.

Time to Broadcast Your Show

Click the orange “Broadcast Now” button and let’s get you broadcasting!

Your Broadcast Console

(1) Video WIndow: Here’s the local view of you on camera. This is what your viewers will see when you go LIVE.

(2) Video Source: You have a drop down table selection for your video source. In the next screenshot, we’ll show you the options you have.

(3) Audio Source: You have the same selection options here. We’ll take a closer look at the options you have for audio in a moment.

(4) Text Box: During the show, you’ll see your viewers’ comments typed into this box. In addition, you get to respond in this field and publish it into the discussion thread too.

(5) User List: When you’re on the air, you’ll see a growing list of users in this right column. When you have moderator status, you have additional privileges to moderate viewers. I’ll show you some of those privileges in a screenshot below.

(6) Feature Tabs: The horizontal tabs above the text box give you additional features to work with. We’ll look at Twitter and Overlays in a moment.

(7) & (8) These 2 green buttons help you work your magic. Clicking on these buttons help you broadcast your Live Show along with recording your show for your video archives.

(9) Info Tab: Any actions you deploy during the show will update this info tab with status updates.

(10) No. of Viewers: This shows you the total count of viewers watching your broadcast. Remember, this count includes the viewers who watch your show via windows you embed on your blog, website and social media properties too.

Video Source Options

When you click the drop down table for Video Source, you’ll be offered a variety of video sources to use. If you’re using a webcam that’s connected and powered on, it should read in this selection. In my situation, my built-in isight webcam on my Macbook Pro reads “USB Video Class Video”.

Personally, for best video quality, I choose “DV Video” to select my prosumer camcorder that’s connected to my laptop via a firewire cable. I have a dedicated camcorder on a tripod that’s ready to be fired up and connected ot my laptop at a moment’s notice. You’ll see the vast difference in video picture quality of the previous image, compared to the USB webcam image below.

There are video drivers you can use to show video effects and to flip the camcorder view to your desktop. I won’t detail them in this guide, but you can research it for yourself. For Mac users, there’s a free video driver called CamTwist (http://www.allocinit.com/index.php?title=CamTwist). For Windows users, there’s a paid video driver called WebCamMax (http://www.webcammax.com). Both of them achieve similar results with giving you creative effects for your broadcast videos.

Sample Built-In Webcam Video Quality

(1) With the “USB Video Class Video” option selected, you can see the picture quality captured by my built-in isight camera on my Macbook Pro.

(2) Video & Audio Broadcast Checkboxes: In the case you want to only broadcast audio or video, you can check or uncheck these boxes. Personally, I use this when I want to keep my video or audio private at a moment’s notice.

(3) VU Meter and Volume: You can monitor your volume and modify volume settings here.

Audio Source Options

There are 2 options I commonly use for Audio Options. Either my “Built-In Microphone” or the “Built-In Input” setting. The “Built-In Input” setting is used when I plug the cable that is connected to my mixer and professional RODE NT1-A podcast mic into my Macbook Pro. If I’m without my mic, I would then use my built-in mic on the laptop.

If you are in the market for a good and affordable podcast mic, I would recommend the RODE Podcaster mic. It’s white in color, has a very high quality sound, and even allows you to plug in a headset to itself to monitor your sound. It sells for approximately $200 on Amazon. You can go for inexpensive options too, but you get what you put into it.

One piece of advice: Your viewers will be more forgiving of your video quality if your audio and lighting is solid.

Start Moderating Your Broadcast

One of the privileges you get as a broadcaster is to moderate your viewers / users. But first, you have to type in:

!moderateon

into your text box. This gives you right-click functionality when you perform it on a viewer’s user id. Let’s view a few of these privileges below.

In addition, if you type in:

!topic

followed by a space, then your topic name, it’ll appear as the topic at the top of the Text box to your viewers.

Banning and Devoicing Users

If you right click on a users’ ID, you have these options:

- Send them a private message
- Ban them from your show, which means their user IDs disappear from the User ID list
- Devoice them, which means they can text chat, but none of your other users will see their messages

You can view Ustream’s help files for more information on these moderator privileges. The above 3 features are what I use most often.

Feature Tabs: Send Twitter

Want to notify your audience of followers at Twitter that you’re broadcasting LIVE? If so, click the “Send Twitter” tab, modify the text details if needed, then click the “Send ” button. Ustream will send out a tweet to your followers, notifying them that you’re on the air.

Feature Tabs: Overlays

Ustream is offering a new feature called Overlays. You can overlay a YouTube video on your video window while you’re broadcasting or overlay a line of text eg. the title of your show, an announcement or your latest product/service offering.

Ready To Go LIVE?

These 2 green buttons help you make magic. When you’re ready to bring on the thunder, click on them.

Bring On The Thunder!

When you click on “Start Broadcasting”, the button turns to red. This means you’re broadcasting LIVE now. Clicking it again will help you to “Stop Broadcasting”.

When you click on the “Start Recording” button, it’ll turn to red. This means you’re recording your broadcast now. Clicking it again will help you to “Stop Recording”.

Recording Preview and Saving Your Recordings

After you click the “Stop Recording” red button, a “Recording Preview” screen will appear. You can click the “Play” button to preview what you just recorded, click “Delete” to erase your recording, or click “Save” to begin encoding the video and archiving it. I recommend saving your recordings.

If you have setup your YouTube settings in your Dashboard and your shows are around the 30 minute mark, this Recording Preview screen will also ask you if you want Ustream to send your video to YouTube for you. This is an additional opportunity for you to distribute your recorded broadcasts to the all popular YouTube.

Voila! You’re Now On Web TV!

Once your broadcast is encoded, Ustream files your video archives in your “Video Clips” section of your show page. This gives your viewers who did not catch you LIVE to watch your archives.

And there you have it – a very simple process to utilize a live interactive video broadcast platform like Ustream.TV to enable you to quickly and easily broadcast to a global audience of unlimited size with just a camera and an Internet connection.

If you do it well, this live interactive broadcast platform will not only be an engaging experience for your viewers, but it will also empower you to expand your exposure, credibility and attract a flood of tangible and intangible business results for you.

When you take action on this guide, please share your results with me at http://twitter.com/shermanhu – I would love to see you how you leverage this video broadcasting platform to your advantage.

Half Hour Huddle on ShermanHu.tv for 20090202

Sherman Hu — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 22:45:42 +0000

(Be sure to keep your volume low before playing this video

On today’s show we covered how I got started broadcasting on Ustream and why some of the brilliant peeps on my show should start their own show too. As usual, we covered topics ranging from blogging (WordPress, themes, plugins), video, video hosting and much more. This was definitely more casual than other shows, if there’s such a thing

Check out the video, the show notes below (the first few minutes of the show notes didn’t get captured) and I’d appreciate your feedback. Thanks.

11:23 BiggiFraley : I was checking out Revolution theme the other day, they really don’t provide any specs for the theme. Couldn’t figure out if it’s easily customizable. Do you know?

11:24 sandraschubert : I may put into a video

11:24 sandraschubert : and post it on my website

11:24 TonyBlake : Blonde asian?… hmmm, shades of “Black Rain”

11:24 ustreamer-49432 : @biggifraley – I have found it very customizable – a lot of hacking involved

11:24 shermanlive : http://RevoTheme.com

11:25 shermanlive : http://snipurl.com/woowoo

11:25 animegen : Hey Sherman, do you know how you can unpload multiple podcast files on a wordpress post but have each of the files go to different feeds?

11:25 shermanlive : http://snipurl.com/onetheme

11:25 BiggiFraley : Thanks, Sherman and 49432!

11:25 ustreamer-49432 : I meant I have not found it very customizable

11:25 sandraschubert : A WP ? someone set my site up- is it easy to change the header graphic

11:25 colmcgunnigle : Yes, Sandra … if you know how to ftp

11:26 sandraschubert : oh dear

11:26 colmcgunnigle : if so, very simple

11:26 eldonletkeman : I love customizing the blog, as long as you have a good knowledge of CSS, you’ll be okay

11:26 SelfMadeCelo : yeah blogs are fun to play with

11:26 colmcgunnigle : lol, I take that to be a “no” sandra?

11:26 sandraschubert :

11:26 SelfMadeCelo : i think the last 10 sites i’ve set up were WP blogs

11:26 animegen : ey Sherman, do you know how you can unpload multiple podcast files on a wordpress post but have each of the files go to different rss feeds?

11:27 colmcgunnigle : I’m a web designer … sometimes I take it for granted that everybody does it

11:27 technorev : I vote yes! You should have a CSS show. Make sure you twitter when you do

11:27 sandraschubert : I can do this ????

11:27 eldonletkeman : I was talking about WP blogs, yeah right, like someone wants to see a show about CSS

11:28 eldonletkeman : NOOOO

11:05 colmcgunnigle : Great hair, right?

11:05 colmcgunnigle : (Sherman’s hair is always a hot topic

11:06 shermanlive : Shopp Plugin

11:06 technorev : TechnoRev is in the house

11:06 thedvshow : that is a great plugin choice sherman

11:06 shermanlive : www.Interspire.com

11:06 lenapple : I’m gonna throw in Zen Cart. You can drop a wordpress blog into the cart. But I do them separately.

11:07 shamahyder : for a VERY simple cart- ejunkie.com does a decent job right.

11:07 SelfMadeCelo : Magento?

11:07 jeetkundo12 : what’s going on with the wordpresstut membership site

11:07 ustreamer-85086 : 1 shopping cart

11:07 gesman : SelfMade, Magento is sweet, but it’s not like it’s a plugin

11:07 SelfMadeCelo : I’ve been looking into X-Cart as well. That one is pretty widely used

11:07 colmcgunnigle : I use zencart too … anybody know any super-knowledgeable zen guys who I can hire out?

11:08 shermanlive : camcorderinfo.net

11:08 colmcgunnigle : I usually do it myself but am getting too busy

11:08 shamahyder : thank you

11:08 lenapple : I exclusively use Zen Cart

11:08 ustreamer-85086 : 1 shopping cart makes it easy for affiliates, credit cards and auto responders

11:08 colmcgunnigle : (guys or gals, that is

11:08 lenapple : I can do a lot of customization…

11:09 IanStuart : Is there a plugin/widget to insert 125×125 ads in WP or do you have to use a theme that already supports them?

11:09 SelfMadeCelo : 1ShoppingCart is okay, but I’m looking for something I can host myself

11:09 colmcgunnigle : if interested in extra work, drop me your contact info

11:09 sandraschubert : Hello everyone off my call…

11:09 SelfMadeCelo : I’ll check out Zen Cart as well. SO many choices lol

11:09 realsource : I have seen 15k during the Obama acceptance speech

11:10 lenapple : difference between 1 shopping cart (which is great) and zen cart would fall in product numbers. I have a cart online that has 5000+ products. This would not be pratical w/ 1 shopping cart…

11:10 ustreamer-9875 : My zencart has 7000 products and is working great!

11:10 realsource : I have seen 15k simultaneous users on Ustream during the Obama acceptance speech

11:10 reslynn : from my experience when it comes to videocam. esp. in HD, windows/mac compatible, ext. mic/headset capable,..if possible webcam capable too…im using canon hg 10 w/c is HD and also great doing static pictures

11:11 sandraschubert : Does Sherman have a cold? Sherman?

11:11 shamahyder : looks good!

11:11 aishaladon : Im not sure if this is a geeky tech question, but what method of homeshcooling do you do. Unschooling or what?

11:11 ustreamer-9875 : Zencart Forums have helped me through 4 years of hickups and coding

11:11 seabix : http://www.nowlive.com/

11:11 ustreamer-77636 : Have you heard about youtube rejecting duplicate video submissions? What is your best way to get video ranked?

11:11 TheSecretFog : I used 1 shopping cart for a year…they refuse to delete any member/affiliate who are inactive..total waste of space and you can get better for less.

11:11 colmcgunnigle : there are always tech peeps on the zencart forums and they respond pretty quickly

11:11 realsource : @Selfmadecelo – I use cubecart and oscommerce

11:11 SelfMadeCelo : okay cool, thanks colmcgunnigle

11:13 Tom_M : gotta say Denis @ SemPro was pretty helpful with SemPro. Very responsive, it took one day. My experience @ Elance, guru and Craigs was not so hot (for this) looking for help on the conversion of the static site to SemPro

11:13 lenapple : @jeetkundo12 – I use “metatags” simple and very simple, quick to use. Get great SE results

11:14 gesman : yes, thats why i can safely recommend it

11:14 graphic_guy : Sherman, any suggestions for managing passwords online or Mac app

11:14 Tom_M : Sherman, am I the only one who’s having a tough time getting used to the new dashboard in WP ????

11:14 gesman : my wife uses 1ShoppingCart, so I’ll have an extra vote for it

11:01 shermanlive : sorry wrong button!

11:01 ethosmethod : whoah!

11:01 eldonletkeman : hehehe

11:02 ethosmethod : I’m slowly getting up the gumption to do my first show. Hasta happen. You give me courage man.

11:03 RobNelson : New Techno Look?

11:03 eldonletkeman : Yeah, i gotta get mine off the ground too

11:03 ustreamer-48502 : realsource

11:03 ethosmethod : So I’ve discovered that with my slight double chin (!) I look best with back lighting. Is there a good way to light so I don’t look like Mothra?

11:04 RobNelson : Yes we just tune in for the fashion news lol

11:04 ethosmethod : what lights do you have on you? You always look great

11:04 ustreamer-48502 : Going to roll out my own show in 2 weeks

11:04 reslynn : Hiya Sherman!!!

11:04 technorev : Sorry, I got kicked off. Do you know if there is a tutorial for how to embed a flash media player in my webpage?

11:05 reslynn : Lean your head a little bit forward to minimize double chinning!

11:05 ethosmethod : What height on the key lights?

11:05 netkickstart : Hi all

11:05 ethosmethod : tx Reslynn!

11:05 ethosmethod : hey netkickstart, welcome to the party!

11:06 netkickstart : thanks!

11:06 ethosmethod : awesome dude, thanks!

11:06 technorev : What kind of fixture do you use?

11:06 technorev : for the lights

11:06 RobNelson : Light color balance ?

11:06 eldonletkeman : Sherman just explained it perfectly. Make sure your background is lit well. As well, bouncing lights of of reflective or white surfaces can help smooth out the lighting

11:07 ethosmethod : thanks eldon!

11:07 ethosmethod : (workin’ on that white backdrop)

11:08 technorev : I mean to use my own videos . I know how to copy the embed code from video sharing people. But I want to embed my own videos without the commercials or icons of like YouTube, etc.

11:08 markress : WORD UP DJ ShermySherm!!!!

11:08 BiggiFraley : Hi all, running late because comcast guys keep disonnecting me while putting new box on our cable mess out there.

11:08 eldonletkeman : try not to use straight lights, on yourself, diffuse the lights with some translucsent material

11:08 ethosmethod : where is best place to get a white backdrop?

11:08 markress : Go Shermy Go Shermy Go Shermy

11:08 RobNelson : What is the quickest method to create a video to upload to tubemogul from powerpoint slides?

11:09 vinniev : I’m creating a memorial site for my friend using wordpress. Is there an easier way for the family (non-techies) to write posts, add pics & videos other than going thru the dashboard?

11:09 eldonletkeman : Yuo can find some at a material store, something nice and solid

11:09 ethosmethod : tx eldon

11:09 markress : Camtasia that Rob!

11:09 markress : That’s what I would do just record my PPT slides then upload that to TubeMogul

11:10 eldonletkeman : good white curtains are great, as long as the material is free of pattern or design

11:10 eldonletkeman : then light the crap out of it, open the camera iris and wash out the back

11:10 ethosmethod : Love the lo-tech Shermy-Sherm!

11:10 RobNelson : Markress Camtasia is kinda pricey to test with. . free tools?

11:11 BiggiFraley : @vinniev I use the free Windows Live Writer that’s as easy to use as Word to post to a blog, pictures and all.

11:11 realsource : @robnelson camtasia is free for 30 days

11:11 shioti-1 : hi sherman. any special settings when you record your show? I tried recording my ustream broadcast but it freezes. and do you use a mixboard for you mic?

11:11 ethosmethod : Rob, try CamStudio

11:11 markress : You can try to use Jing Rob but output is SWF which not sure if TubeMogul accepts SWF or not. Jing is FREE, Camtasia 3 is FREE and there is also CamStudio IM!!!!!!!!!

11:11 markress :

11:12 markress : Stop allowing hurdles to get in your way Rob. Breakthru those barriers bud.

11:12 markress : YOU CAN DO IT ROB!

11:12 markress :

11:13 IanStuart : missed those bulbs.. flourescent? wattage?

11:13 RobNelson : Thats what I’m trying to do .. I do not like to waste time with tools that do not work well.. so why not ask the best like U Mark and Sherman

11:14 shermanlive : WimpyPlayer.com

11:14 ethosmethod : Sherman & all: http://Audioacrobat.com is great for hosting videos, audios and gives you imbed code. $20 a month. If you do affiliate link, you’ll never pay it. I don’t.

11:14 eldonletkeman : IanStuart: Compact flourescent, preferably non-flicker, any wattage will do, they tend to be low anyways

11:14 technorev : Thanks so much for the info on the player and the lights. I was just about to pay lots of money for lights

11:14 IanStuart : Tks Eldon

11:15 maverick88 : @sherman How do I convert a csv file to an rss feed for wordpress

11:16 realsource : What are you using for the green screen

11:16 shermanlive : http://AnimotoBusiness.com

11:17 realsource : Almost lost it with the Michael Jackson mix – started to dance

11:17 markress : Animoto is cool for quick on the fly videos.

11:17 markress : We use them for marketing affiliate prods.

11:18 markress : Keynote on the Mac

11:18 ethosmethod : realsource – in sherman’s feed about three months ago I think is a whole thing on the greenscreen…

11:18 RobNelson : Thanks for the encouragement Mark!

11:18 markress : Np

11:18 realsource : thanks ethosmethod – will go there and look

11:19 WildAngel : hello all. took forever to login

11:19 RobNelson : Great info on Animotobusiness Sherman!

11:19 shermanlive : http://ScribeFire.com

11:19 markress : Hey Rob U can do what Sherman just described with Windows Movie Maker too. Just do snap shots of your PPT slides and import them into your movie file. Then record the audio walkthru.

11:19 WildAngel : That is great Rob I asked that exact ? of Twitter yesterday

11:20 markress : If you have Vista then use the Snipping tool to do the screen captures.

11:20 realsource : hello wildangel

11:20 markress : The Vista Snipping tool captures still images

11:20 WildAngel : hello

11:20 WildAngel : Realsource

11:20 RobNelson : Cool Mark!

11:21 markress : Your welcome.

11:21 WildAngel : My audio/video is stuttering

11:21 markress : Stuttering like Ma Ma Ma Max Headroom?

11:21 RobNelson : Vista seems to have lots of hidden tools

11:21 markress :

11:21 realsource : perhaps a NING type site for the memorial site

11:21 WildAngel : Yes…the audio/video/chat all diff.

11:21 realsource : perhaps a NING type site for the memorial site

11:21 WildAngel : Yes…the audio/video/chat all diff.

11:22 markress : CamStudio IM will do the trick too. Camtasia 3 is free. Just Google Free Camtasia Studio 3.

11:22 graphic_guy : my audio/video stuttering as well. Thought it was Firefox

11:22 markress : Firefox okay here.

11:22 eldonletkeman : My video is stuttering too

11:23 WildAngel : http://www.pointecast.com/ someone mentioned this for ppt to vid. paid product

11:23 WildAngel : I am glad I am not the only stutterer here

11:23 RobNelson : I think they no longer give a key for camtasia studio 3 for free

11:24 markress : OH NO It’s Sherman Timberlake!

11:25 markress : Go Sherman Go Sherman Go Sherman

11:25 eldonletkeman : Hey Sherman, does your music run through your mixer? Or is the mic picking it up?

11:25 Ustream-Bot : »»» Dotcomboy17 is a Ustream Community Helper and is here to help!

11:25 RobNelson : TIP My feed was stuttering at first then had to reload the page

11:25 WildAngel : Sherman bringing sexy bay

11:25 WildAngel : back

11:25 WildAngel : Ok… I will reload cu

11:25 markress : WORK IT OUT SHERMAN!

11:25 IanStuart : gotcha thks

11:26 ustreamer-40529 : I just want to wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR

11:26 eldonletkeman : I’m curious how the music volume goes down when you speak.

11:26 markress : AmazonS3 all the way 4 important stuff like video sales letters and wha have you IMHO.

11:26 TCTC : He adjusts it manually

11:26 ColderICE : I just want to wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR

11:26 markress : Yup manually

11:26 eldonletkeman : Thanks TCTC

11:26 TCTC : np =)

11:27 AlexKaris-1 : Sherman have you seen the new sony webbie

11:27 ColderICE : That was me above, but I forgot to log in, LMAO

11:27 eldonletkeman : would be cool, though, if it was an automatic volume adjustment

11:27 AlexKaris-1 : Q : How are you handling file size problems when recording in HD..i see a problem uploading to social platforms…any thoughts?

11:28 TCTC : I think DJ software it could be possible. If anyone knows might be able to help out Sherman =P

11:28 ethosmethod : AudioAcrobat is also good if you *sell* your audios or videos and need to keep them at a secure link where the public *can’t* access them. Though….it must be said….I just found a FireFox plugin that defeats the “play only” mode where I could download if I wanted to…!!

11:28 AlexKaris-1 : What do you think about USB streaming when using the new webbie…will you get the quality as well?

11:28 ethosmethod : agh! sorry for the bold print folks…

11:28 WildAngel : reload no work.. now sher is echoing

11:28 BiggiFraley : @ethosmethod Give it up! What’s that Firefox plugin? ;-P

11:28 WildAngel : gummie bers

11:28 WildAngel : bears

11:29 RobNelson : Shermans products at www.tutorialu Rocks on blogging and video!

11:29 ethosmethod : oh not on your Nelly! Find it yrself!

11:29 ethosmethod : just know that it’s out there….

11:29 shermanlive : EEFX.com

11:29 AlexKaris-1 : Q – WHAT IS THE BEST CAMERA FOR SHOOTING HD and streaming for the price…what do you think about Sanyo HD1010?

11:29 ethosmethod : And AudioAcrobat folks – we’re gonna hafta come up w/something better…

11:29 eldonletkeman : it’s muslin

11:29 eldonletkeman : usually

11:29 realsource : remnants

11:30 WildAngel : audio acrobat is easy for tech. chall. like me

11:30 markress : The FF download plugin I use for grabbing vids is Download Helper. I LOVE IT!

11:30 eldonletkeman : i always find myself bopping

11:31 ethosmethod : that’s probably it Mark…

11:31 markress : It is

11:31 IanStuart : yeah Mark Download Helper is great!

11:31 ethosmethod : I have several so I’m not sure which one it is

11:31 markress : They’re constantly updating it too

11:31 ethosmethod : some work on some files, some don’t…

11:31 markress : Mmmmm hmmmmmm

11:32 markress : I’ve been able to get EVERYTHING I’ve ever attempted. When it does not work there is a way to grab the file. Now THAT I won’t share ha ha ha

11:32 ethosmethod : so markress, how do marketers defeat things like Download Helper to keep people from stealing premium content? Any ideas? Sherman?

11:33 SelfMadeCelo : TriCaster

11:33 TCTC : Tricaster

11:33 TCTC : Newtek.com

11:33 AlexKaris-1 : tricaster

11:33 TCTC : lol

11:33 TCTC : pricey tho

11:33 reslynn : another way to save some space hostiing for video …store it in archive.org… then upload to blip.tv (Learned that good video quality from sherman of course

11:33 eldonletkeman : I have a guy I can ask, and get back to the peeps later

11:34 trilbyj : Just saying hello… I’m listening as I work!

11:34 markress : Hey Sherman they’re mentioning Tricaster and it starts at $5K

11:35 TCTC : yep

11:35 RobNelson : sherman why do U not just record all feeds from several cameras and just edit together?

11:35 markress : I would place my content in a member’s protected area like aMember

11:35 reslynn : put watermark on your video, if its getting hack…

11:35 markress : That may do the trick but a paying member can still download the files.

11:36 markress : I always Watermark my sold products and try to Watermark the free stuff.

11:36 WildAngel : how do put watermarks on vids

11:36 BiggiFraley : Don’t spend too much time worrying about people stealing your content. Most people will be honest, and those are your customers that you want to focus on!

11:37 markress : Most video editing apps have a titling function that you can use to watermark Sandra a.k.a. WildAngel

11:37 TCTC : I’ve never used these but fairly cheaper then Tricaster http://www.dvcreators.net/video-mixers/

11:37 markress : Windows Movie Maker has it.

11:37 RobNelson : 5K toy for video to play with! lol

11:38 TCTC : I love the tricaster when it works correctly =P

11:38 reslynn : any site or tips on how u take videos at different angles simultaneously..?

11:38 WildAngel : Ok I have put titles on already so that makes it safe

11:38 WildAngel : thanks Mark

11:38 markress : Np

11:38 markress : Reslynn that is what Sherman and I were talking about this morning

11:38 TCTC : use multiple cameras =)

11:38 markress : Multiple cameras and edit or use a mixer

Half Hour Huddle on ShermanHu.tv for 20081229

Sherman Hu — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 01:21:36 +0000

Today’s show is the last broadcast for 2008. Alot has happened since our first broadcast in April this year. Ustream.tv, with the help of our show supporters (thanks peeps!), has listed the “Half Hour Huddle” amongst the “Highest Rated” shows on Ustream, along with presenting our Huddle as the “Featured” show on their home page 3 weeks in a row on Mondays. Thanks Ustream.tv!!

This broadcast extended past our usual half hour time segment, but oh so fun and worthwhile! We bridged topics that ranged from tech to relational health! You’ll have to catch up on this episode to see what I mean, it may make a true difference in your life and relational health

I look forward to hosting more LIVE broadcast shows that deliver value to you, and to continue to earn your support as a trusted resource and advisor. Here’s to you and yours for 2009, wishing you a blessed, healthy, wealthy and prosperous New Year!!

11:21 DulcitaLove : Like the new look: http://shermanlive.com
11:21 johnyang : Hello Sherman and guests
11:22 colmcgunnigle : Thanks Sherman!
11:23 Toranika : New blog design looks good. Now if only I can make mine look like that :-p, lol.
11:23 WildAngel : Yes….
11:23 mike1mb : WA is that Sandra or Brian? I get your “names” confused
11:23 graphic_guy : Thanks everyone for the cart suggestions
11:23 Toranika : Askimet is good. I used to get over 50 spam comments a day, now I don’t get any *grins*.
11:23 WildAngel : Sandra, Mike
11:23 JoselinMane : I will be launching my blog this week!
11:24 JoselinMane : Que Pasa mike1mb!!!
11:24 mike1mb : sheesh I know Brian’s name is similar, in our group PBMM
11:24 WildAngel : You have makeup on
11:24 WildAngel : I can be Brian but my Cherokee is weak
11:25 JoselinMane : Sherm u like http://ithemes.com/ ?
11:25 ustreamer-22475 : nice new blog – i just made one with another one of the revolution themes. Am not having much luckj with adding different thumbnails for the home page. any ideas on how to do this? also want to add more blocks below the recent posts part. am stuck
11:26 ustreamer-46942 : how r u
11:26 cknicker : My green screen comment was for grins but now I’m intrigued, what stuff do you have to be able to do green screen? I thought it was a big production cost.
11:26 ustreamer-46942 : yes i think too
11:26 ustreamer-46942 : i like green color
11:26 mike1mb : Hi to Michelle Joselin Dulcita and any othre Tweetrs I might have missed, follow me and I follow back http://twitter.com/mike1mb
11:27 WildAngel : takes a bow…
11:27 ustreamer-46942 : dont worry go ahead
11:27 mike1mb : no its a real Cable channel
11:27 MyklK : cknicker – bought green sheet for $20, then you need software to do the “Chroma” effect. done.
11:27 Toranika : I thought G4 was a classical music boy band :-p
11:29 eldonletkeman-1 : cknicker: You need the proper software that will allow you to use green screen or Chroma Key. I use Adobe Premeire Pro and after effects. Sony Vegas can do it as well. Adobe also has an easier program called Ultra that allows you to put in pre-designed backgrounds. It’s a finicky process.
11:29 mike1mb : Viddler’s comment feature is nice too adds them right to video in time with action
11:30 MyklK : I use Pinnacle Studio (bought my green sheet there as a package)
11:30 eldonletkeman-1 : Pinnacle is a great entry level program
11:30 MyklK : Great! That’s where I am!
11:30 eldonletkeman-1 : good choice
11:31 eldonletkeman-1 : sounds like Yoda doing an impression of Darth Vader
11:31 eldonletkeman-1 :
11:31 MyklK : heh.
11:31 colmcgunnigle : Yoda
11:31 BiggiFraley : Sherman, some of TweetDeck’s new features – spellcheck, when accidentally closing a group, it warns you it’ll be deleted and let’s you cancel action. I was sooo waiting for that one!
11:31 MyklK : “Help you, he will.”
11:31 colmcgunnigle : “there is no try”
11:32 colmcgunnigle : yes myk
11:32 colmcgunnigle : Yoda is cool
11:32 Chrissyna : I think he means if it is MAC friendly (Ashampoo) LOL
11:32 eldonletkeman-1 : Boba Fett rocks
11:32 SelfMadeCelo : No problem =)
11:33 MyklK : My computer FREEZES trying to record a UStream broadcast – is that normal? What are the “PC” requirements? Maybe I’m trying to be too High Definition??
11:34 WildAngel : Thanks for all the help-
11:34 WildAngel : I will have to go back and dedicate to shermanlive.
11:35 AlexKaris : Happy Holiday all you awesome PEEPS!!
11:36 brandrider : Hi Sherman. Do you get into social marketing in your blog creation program at tutorialU?
11:37 shermanlive-1 : eefx
11:37 cknicker : Good grief! U all giving me so many good links I’ve had to filp to a second page in my notebook.
11:37 colmcgunnigle : ashampoo … for windows … sorry Sherman!
11:38 colmcgunnigle : flipping is good!
11:38 MyklK : Hmmm, I just thumbtacked my greenscreen to the wall!
11:38 mike1mb : cnicker – aren’t live shows the best ever resource
11:38 MyklK : Don’t stand close to the wall (3-5 feet) to avoid shadows.
11:38 colmcgunnigle : especially live shows with Sherman talking
11:39 BiggiFraley : so what’s the difference between a green screen and a blue screen?
11:39 WildAngel : I think Sheram will have to go to an hour- this is getting to be really popular
11:39 colmcgunnigle : Do you use a softbox for lights?
11:39 mike1mb : I’m kinda fond of his brother from another mother, but I won’t mention his name unless Sherman will
11:39 eldonletkeman-1 : Done some green screen work. Lighting is key. The compact flourescents are nice. Cool temperature as well. won’t burn your precious fingers
11:39 SelfMadeCelo : Eldon do you prefer Final Cut over Premiere?
11:40 TCTC : I use Adobe Ultra. . . but very touchy. Best Advice I can give is use as little as possible. Live sets are much better looking.
11:40 JoselinMane : AlexKaris!! Que Pasa Bro!
11:40 TCTC : Live sets as in real sets.
11:40 eldonletkeman-1 : Final Cut uses much more drive space. Like 30 gigs or something. it’s apples and oranges. i prefer Premiere because I know the software.
11:41 eldonletkeman-1 : But Final Cut is really snazzy software
11:41 AlexKaris : Hola Joseline…Hope your awesome!!
11:41 colmcgunnigle : Supporting you in decluttering your plate … so easy to get our plates cluttered, things just plop on there!
11:42 WildAngel : If you declutter your plate you will lose weight too
11:42 eldonletkeman-1 : Premiere does not support Power Mac G5 systems, only intel based Mac
11:42 colmcgunnigle : lol
11:46 mike1mb : eefx
11:46 cknicker : Laundry hamper for IKEA
11:46 eldonletkeman-1 : Green screen is excellent for Digital Video and Blue Screen is optimized for film. They use separate colour profiles. DV uses RGB and Film use CMYK. It’s all really technical but you can use for either. You just need to use a coulour that won’t be used in your footage
11:47 mike1mb : Thanks Sherman, He’ll appreciate the mention
11:47 BiggiFraley : Great answer. Thanks, Eldon!
11:47 JoselinMane : thanks eldon, get info!
11:48 BiggiFraley : Thanks also for answers from MyklK!
11:48 colmcgunnigle : How cool, go away for your planning process, I love it. So great to do that together. You guys … giving me great hope for couples!
11:49 colmcgunnigle : Planning and writing down, yes, like a magnet
11:49 eldonletkeman-1 : but colours can bleed, so standing in front of your screen lights is key, then use separate lighting on the subject
11:49 MyklK : (no prob @BiggiFraley – Eldon’s got the know how – I just goof around with it)
11:49 WildAngel : That is a great 2009 planning process
11:50 MyklK : Yeah, adding the frustrations was a take away for me.
11:50 colmcgunnigle : I had macs for FIFTEEN YEARS before becoming a traitor um convert
11:51 BiggiFraley : You all have suggested several, but if I could absolutely have my pick at any video editing software FOR PC, which one would I choose?
11:51 Chrissyna : OMGosh another plate – lookout team!!!!
11:51 SelfMadeCelo : Just Clear, not too fancy lol
11:51 colmcgunnigle : Sherman, PUT the PLATE DOWN
11:51 colmcgunnigle :
11:52 AlexKaris : Dome is another word for your head…cmon brother….ol
11:52 colmcgunnigle : LOL
11:52 colmcgunnigle : Laundry Hamper from Ikea GREAT
11:52 eldonletkeman-1 : BiggiFraley: I would suggest Pinnacle for the entry level, but if you’re interested in the more powerful software go with Adobe, Pricey though
11:53 MyklK : Yeah, Pinnacle is like $120.
11:53 MyklK : (green screen included in the package I got)
11:53 mike1mb : IKEA has some great lamps that probably provide similar lighting and some for about $10 ea
11:54 BiggiFraley : Would Adobe be easy enough to learn, though, or should I choose Pinnacle even if I could effort Adobe because it is better fot the beginner, Eldon?
11:54 SelfMadeCelo : Adobe is pretty easy to learn, just takes some getting use to.
11:54 cknicker : S, I’ve moved from the Dark Side, got a MBPro 2.4, 4GB, 512 VidRAM. To justify spending the $$ I showed my girlfriend the recorded session when you told me to go ahead and make the plunge.
11:54 SelfMadeCelo : I’m sure if you spent the time you can get down the basics to make a simple video
11:54 eldonletkeman-1 : Yeah, I’m toally self taught, try and surround yourself with peopl ewho know how as well. Networking is key
11:54 bkajino : Ditto on the planning… dreams are only wishes if you don’t have an action plan
11:55 colmcgunnigle : Thanks so much Eldon
11:55 eldonletkeman-1 : No prob
11:55 MyklK : Wow – didn’t know about separate lights for subject and background! I have a TON of lights already! Still learning.
11:56 cknicker : Harvard Business School has tracked their graduates for 40+ years. They have found tha clearly written goals are the second most important for success in business and in life.
11:56 MyklK : (I’ll have to do video with my sunglasses on!)
11:56 TCTC : Well gotta jam. . .Thanks for the great tips as always!
