 To ecamm live version 3.10 beaters in one day. Aren't we lucky? Hello, welcome to take one tech. My name's Alec and today there were two new beaters released for ecamm live version 3.10 Beta 3 being the main release and then there was a couple of little bugs that were immediately rectified And so there was a second beta pushed out So if you did get the update notice and you updated to beta 3 then do make sure you go and just check for updates again and Get the beta 4. In fact, where are my manners? How do you do that? Well, let me just show you in my ecamm live setup. So if I come over to my screen-sharing mode, whoopsie daisy And then if you come up to the ecamm live beta menu And then down here, you'll see check for updates And so when you click that it is going to prompt you to update to the latest version if you are not already How about if you are using ecamm live and are curious beta curious But have not yet tried it out. Well, the place to go to get it is at ecamm Dot com beta i'll leave a link to that in the description It's a public beta anybody can go and download it and try it out It runs alongside the regular version of ecamm live So don't worry about having to choose between them You can just open the beta up give it a go and head back to the regular version Although i've got to say I use the beta almost full time So I don't sort of switch back and forth and I always find that they're generally Certainly stable enough for me But you may just want to bear that in mind that it is beta software And so there is prone to be the odd bug or two here and there That is the point of beta software. It's to test it before it goes into the public release Now if you are interested to learn more about the beta and you've downloaded it And you want to join a community of people who are also talking about it Then definitely also check out the facebook group for the ecamm live beta as well Link for that will be in the description as well And here is where you can share any feedback that you've got specifically about the beta And then also when there are new releases and things like that ken and glenn the lovely developers behind ecamm live They will come on and do a Sort of live stream explaining about features and things like that as well So definitely check out those two resources So what actually is in the latest beta? Well, there's only a couple of new features really, but they are worth mentioning So that's why I thought I'd just do a quick video So namely they are the ability to have multiple sounds running at one time So previously if you were playing music and then you wanted to add a sound effect The music would stop and then the the sound effect would play which is not necessarily what you want So I'll show you how that works But then also the ability to assign hotkeys to overlays in the same way that we have with Scenes in the last beta there was an easy way to assign keyboard shortcuts to different scenes That by the way is something that I think I neglected to really cover in my last update about the beta 2 release or the beta 1 release whichever it was So we'll just touch on that in this video as well And then there's a couple of other things related to alignment of text And then there was just some general fixes and things like that And as you can see beta 3 came out with these new features And then beta 4 came out wherever it is there Just a couple of hours later actually with a couple of fixes That they'd noticed actually while they were doing the demo of the update in the beta group So Let's get straight on into it though. Shall we he says after a few minutes of waffling? And let's have a look at how this stuff all works So I'm going to come back into my demo mode. I'll just get my screen ready. There we go So in Ecam basically where you have different Sound effects previously the behavior was that if you played some music and that started coming through Then when you went to play another track That one would stop and the other one would just play But what that meant is if you wanted to play a sound effect So say you'd got something like this I didn't do something stupid and you wanted that to play then that would have previously stopped the music Well, actually maybe what you want is for your music to be playing in the background So maybe we've got something going on in the background such as with this And you want to adjust that make the sound lower, but then you still want to be able to play Your sound effects over the top of the music Well, now you can do and you can do that as much as you want What's quite clever though is what they've done is they've added in some Little bit of coding so that they can basically decipher whether what you've got is really a sound effect So something that's like a short clip Versus something that's a long piece of music Such as this so the behavior that they've got is because they figure you're not actually going to want to have Two pieces of music playing over the top of each other sort of clashing with one another Um, so what they've done is if I play a sound effect It plays and the music stays in the background. However, if I come to click on one of these others It does actually end the previous piece of music and start playing the new piece So I think that that is quite a little clever thing that they've done there So the next thing that they've added in is The ability to add keyboard shortcuts directly to different actions Now we have always had keyboard shortcuts. So for example, if I come into the scene You can see that we've got keyboard shortcuts that have been predefined for In the case of the scenes command one two three four all the way up to nine Is to flick between the the scenes that you've got set up the first nine of them But then if you move the scenes around then those keyboard mappings keyboard shortcut mappings Previously used to change. So what they added in in the recent beta not this one today was for scenes They added in the ability here To add in keyboard shortcuts and this little sort of symbol here, which is the command symbol If I click on that Then I can just type in a hotkey that's going to allow me to switch scenes So if you're not using a stream deck or anything like that to switch scenes And you do want to be able to do it by the keyboard Then that was something that was added in in the recent beta Well, what they've done now is they've also applied that same functionality to the overlays as well So if I look in the overlays window over here This is all of my different overlays You can see that now exactly the same we can just add a keyboard shortcut type in the keyboard shortcut And that will allow you to Toggle on and off your various different overlays So the one final thing that I want to just mention is to do with text And that is the alignment tools within text So if I come and add in a new text overlay here, and I'm just going to type something Like this If I can even spell a four letter word, I always have trouble typing and speaking at the same time So let me just come here and just make this a little bit bigger so that we can see it So basically if you align the text with the the center of the screen, for example But then we have the we type in some more text Like this some more text still can't spell You can see that it has extended that out to the right And left the the left side where it was and that's because of the justification that we've got set in the text panel itself Whereas if I maintain if I sorry if I set that to be centered alignment Then now if I just put that where we want it again, and I was to delete some of that Then you'll see that it's maintained that center alignment So basically whatever you align it to in the the text box So either right left or center Then it will maintain that alignment sort of on the screen as well Whereas before it didn't actually used to do that. It would maintain the alignment within the text box itself But the actual position of the text box wouldn't necessarily maintain that position So that's another great little thing that they've done in terms of keeping everything all aligned If you are looking to do some really interesting stuff with text boxes Then I can highly recommend that you check out Building Blocks with Anna and Folgens And also their ECAM news network show that they do in the ECAM Facebook group as well Because they do some really next level stuff with text boxes And so I'm sure that all of these new little Functionality related to text boxes will come in very handy for all of that stuff There we go. That is just a brief update on those a few new features for this beta And I hope you enjoyed it if you did don't forget to like and subscribe as always And there is always my buy me a coffee link if you found that really useful That's the best way to support the channel on a one-off or ongoing basis So that's all for now, but I will leave a link to some more of my ECAM live videos over on the right hand side So be sure to check those out. Don't go anywhere. They're coming up right now
