 Hi, this is Michael here again. Today I'll be going through a little bit about how we do the user software to do the recording. So here I have the recording gear set up for set one. So you see on the left, we have our Avermedia Live Gamer Portable and with our Q2 HD which is set up to record the speaker. So the Avermedia has grabbed the screen of the presenter. So I'm using my laptop here on my Mac on the right to as a presenter screen. So that's coming in to the Avermedia to to grab the screen and then I'll be using the Q2 HD as a video recorder to record the audio as well as capture the speaker speaking. So next I'll go through the steps about using the software. OBSproject.com you'll find it open broadcasted software. So it comes first as a Windows software Windows download and recently they went and re-write the software just for the other platforms like OSX and Linux. The functionality tends to be a little bit different, but today I'll just be focusing on the Windows edition. The open broadcasted software looks like this. It's basically it's so it starts first with the different scenes you can set up. In each scene you can include sources. So for the Windows version there is a concept of global source. So I'm using global sources here. There's a couple of sources already set up the Q2 HD, Avermedia, screen capture. For my recordings, I also use a background just so in case when I do an overlay or a picture-in-picture I can use a background to kind of show off to show something interesting in the background. I'm usually a gray background with the Ingenius SG logo. Splash screen usually the first screen that appears. Sometimes I also have a couple of cameras connected to this set up. So which is for example the Q4 camera. But today I will just be using one camera and one screen capture 2. So that's how it will basically look like. So once these things are set up you can click on preview to basically see the what's going on. So first thing it shows up is a splash screen. So you can see the splash screen on the left and then you click on picture-in-picture overlay. It shows you right now it shows me the desktop on my Macintosh and of course it shows me my own screen. So it shows me the the video camera which is Q2 HD. So you can also see the levels are going up and down which tells me that it's actually recording audio right now. So it will be it may look a little bit interesting. So this is one of the so we can basically set it up one by one. You can edit scenes. Move these squares around. If you want to add new sources you can do this as well. So you click on you can click on you can right click here add global sources and say I'll add a now I'll add a second camera. So I can have two cameras on the same screen. Right. Okay, of course we're just using one right now. So let's remove that. Okay, so the only one screen the picture-in-picture these all been laid out single one by one. So let me show you an example right now by relaying out a new one. So click on head scene given name it starts out as empty. So next one you right click on the resources tab global sources saying we'll add a background right. So the background is here right click and I say fit the screen right you can see this add some more. Let's say I'll add another global source which would be say the Avermedia. All right. So you tell me what's going on and then I'll add one more which is the video. So the Q2HD camera. So I can resize this and move it to a corner. So it can be a now a proper picture-in-picture right. Yeah, so this is how I pretty much set it up. Audio wise is also pretty straightforward. So you click on settings and and click on audio. So it tells me I'm using the default audio of the computer. So whatever is coming in is actually being recorded. So you can also check this by going to back to this one the recording devices. Make sure the Q2HD or whatever is set as the default and you should will use that for recording the audio audio channels. So right now yeah, so we have splash screen, picture-in-picture overlay without overlaying and only a screen only. So you want to just show what's on the screen. You know and just click on play here, and I'll be basically showing a presentation slide. You guys do it the other way around which is video focused. So the video is focused on you and then the screen is on somewhere in the corner. Or the video only. So this is what you can do. This is the preview. So preview doesn't actually mean you're recording. It's just to be previewing the stream. So in order to actually do a recording, you just click on start recording to actually start recording it. You could also set up a video streaming to YouTube which I'll cover in a different episode. So right now we'll start to start recording. But I'll check out the recording settings in all the settings and check out encoding to tell me what kind of encoding is possible on this screen. Usually on a computer I'll just set like 12,500 kbps for a rather high definition. The video wise I've set it to 720p so that I can capture pretty much everything I need. You also set up hotkeys so that you can switch between scenes easily. And many others here. Well you go with the basic defaults. So just click on start recording. So this is how I usually start the recording by showing first the splash screen. And then I go on to the picture in picture which would have me the presenter just talking in a corner in this picture in picture format with a talking head at the bottom right followed by the screen on the left. So in some places sometimes you can also do an overlap like this. With an overlap it also makes it a little bit easier to I mean it makes it better to capture what's on the full screen which is kind of cool. So and then you can also do a screen only where you have a lot of activity going on on the screen you want to give the most focus on what the presenter is showing on the screen will use this. This is very good for like a demo right so I'm doing a software demo and I'm showing off some code. I can use this to kind of just focus on the presentation presentation slide or the presenter's computer. I'll switch to video only if I usually during the Q&A so that because at this point the presentation slides don't matter that much anymore so it's a Q&A session and I'll just focus on the video and let the presenter just continue with it. I might even switch over to the list this format which is the picture in picture with the slides off in the corner. So this is what this does is that if your presenter is gesticulating or talking about certain things or drawing on a whiteboard but you still want to have the presentation slides or something around the corner so for example something like this where you have some big bullet points on the screen and you want the presenter to be able to just have some presentation talk about something you know like he will gesture with his hand or he will be showing off a hardware like a phone or something or he will be like oh yeah this bigger thing is going on da da da so this is so basically this is kind of good for that as in he wants him to show off a physical component or something that's happening at the same time capture the presentation bullet points so there's some of the things he can do. Now of course the video only and once the presentation is over I'll switch to black just to fade out as a as a pseudo fade out and I'll stop recording right so you're not sure that's what it is and to get to find your recordings you are go to file open recording folder you'll find all the video recordings that was recorded before if I open this I should be able to play back right so that's the the video and then that video can be uploaded to to the will be uploaded eventually to engineers.sg yep that's all for recording for the introduction to open broadcast the software
