[videoblogging] Live video production with BoinxTV (pre-release Mac app)

2008-10-02 Thread Kevin Lim
Hey all,
   I produce video podcasts on an occasional basis, and dabble with
video as an experimental media. One of the areas I've been interested
in is the growing space of live video production on the Mac.

In terms of Mac-based video production studios, I've heard that daily
videocasters like GeekBrief.tv use WireCast, while I've been playing
with the freely available CamTwist on my end. Today, I managed to try
the pre-release version of BoinxTV... and I love it.

Here's the feature summary:
- BoinxTV is an audiovisual mixing tool
- for recording video podcasts or displaying live
- overlay logos, a news ticker, or create graphical effects
- apply transformations and filters to the incoming video image
- runs on your Mac and supports up to three cameras

From my personal experience with BoinxTV:
- decently short learning curve in terms of user interface (i.e. video mixer)
- it's a beta but it runs well on my 17 HD MBP, even with multiple
cameras and layers active
- unsure if BoinxTV is capable of acting as a video source for live
video streaming (e.g. Quicktime broadcaster, Flash-based video
streaming)
- no idea on cost yet

Here's the page where you can register to be invited to try BoinxTV:
http://www.boinx.com/boinxtv/
I bet you'll get an immediate invite after registering there since I
got my pre-release today (I registered some time ago).

[videoblogging] Audio visualization

2008-10-02 Thread Adam Quirk
Does anyone know of any software that can do live visualizations of audio
files, like iTunes or Windows Media Player does? The stuff that looks cool
when you're sober and really cool when you're not?

Ideally it would be customizable with color schemes, and possibly even image
overlays like a logo.

Thanks,
Adam

there's a good itunes plugin called eyephedrine.. A large selection of  
different visuals (80 i think). Most are extremely tacky, but there  
are some very good ones in there that work perfectly for projections  
at parties.

Btw (some shameless self-promotion), here is my remix of Radiohead's  
track Reckoner: http://blog.davidterranova.com/my-radiohead-remix
It's been reviewed by Smokin Jo and Damian Lazarus, so I'd appreciate  
any votes...

Thanks :)

it may be overkill for you, but MaxMSP/Jitter would do this for you.
You would have to either build it yourself or find someones already
built patches online.

   Yes, it's Adam Curry's podshow.

 He set this up for independent musicians, and podcasters.

 Here are the terms of service
 http://music.podshow.com/music/producerTerms.php

 Basically, you can use the music on your podcast so long as you give
 attribution to the musician and podshow.

 It's dependent on the musicians uploading only music they have rights to
 distribute.

 I try to be careful about using copyrighted music (that is, I don't) and I
 have always considered pod safe music fair game.

I saw on the videoblogginggroup.pbwiki.com that music.podshow.com is
   listed
as safe for video blogs ­ but I just wanna check for sure.
I am on their site and the info is really sketchy. I also noticed a
   pretty
well known Canadian band (Great Big Sea) has its stuff up there, and
  they
are signed to a label. Usually the labels get all uppity when it
 comes
  to
rights for video etc.
Anyone know for sure how this works? I think I should contact the
  label,
non?
  
   probably be best to contact Podshow direct.
   our wiki may have old information.
   (and update if you'd please!)
