[videoblogging] Live stream blog from an event
Hi I've been offered a gig to do a live streaming blog from an event for 3 days in the US, payed for by the (big) company running the event. Never done anything like this before, I usually just run my talking head YouTube blog from my lab at home. Never live streamed before, and never had a paid video blogging gig like this before. They would even widely market me leading up to the event as being there live blogging. It would involve the usual stuff for a live event blog, walking around booths, interviews with key people and random visitors, and a wrap-up at the end of the day. No idea of the full details yet, but I thought I'd ask any general advice from those who have done full day/multiday live blogs. I don't know as yet if I'd just be the on-screen talent or they would expect me to do everything and provide all the gear and streaming infrastructure etc, I'm assuming the former, and that I'd get plenty of technical help. That wouldn't stop me bringing my own kit just in case though. What about stuff like recording live streams for edit/playback later?, what type of gear is needed, typical streaming software etc. How much actual live work would be typical for a full day event? etc I'm assuming that live streams would go live of course, and in-between they would show previously recorded segments? I've got plenty of ideas of course, but it would be good to hear from anyone who's been there and done that. So any and all tips appreciated. Thanks Dave.
Re: [videoblogging] Live stream blog from an event
There is this one list that I've been on for ten years or so that has a small group of streaming experts. They won't tolerate too much newbie nonsense but for those of you seriously interested in live streaming I can't recommend it too highly. http://lists.streamingmedia.com/listinfo/advanced j On Fri, Apr 23, 2010 at 3:18 AM, David Jones david.jo...@altium.com wrote: Hi I've been offered a gig to do a live streaming blog from an event for 3 days in the US, payed for by the (big) company running the event.

For advice from people on this list: Verdi ran 24 hours 24 artists last year, getting 24 people to VJ their own session, hosting live and mixing in pre-recorded video, using Mogulus (now Livestream.com) - would be worth asking him for his experience advice. And John Leeke's been doing live video conferences from http://www.historichomeworks.com for years. Phil Campbell in the UK has an Ammobox which he puts together for people to do easy live streaming of conferences. Worth checking it out - http://ammoboxproject.com - and talking to him - http://twitter.com/philcampbell Rupert http://twittervlog.tv On 23 Apr 2010, at 08:18, David Jones wrote: Hi I've been offered a gig to do a live streaming blog from an event for 3 days in the US, payed for by the (big) company running the event.

[videoblogging] Re: Live stream blog from an event
Sounds like a great gig- congrats! I use Livestream Studio (Studio is the free version) for live streaming video. It's totally web based - no software. Aside from streaming, you can also record a live stream. And you can upload and stream pre-recorded pieces. You can add titles, etc Ustream is another free app I've used. It does require software is similar to Livestream in terms of functionality. For equipment, I use a video camera w/ a firewire connection to a fast laptop connected to the internet via either wifi or ethernet. You definitely need a fast internet connection. On Macs, Livestream seems to run better in Safari than Firefox. Don't run any other applications when streaming (turn off Growl and similar apps). It can sometimes be tricky getting Livestream to recognize your camera- you need to reboot or mutter the right sequence of curses. hope this helps, Barrett Posted by: David Jones david.jo...@altium.com tronnort Fri Apr 23, 2010 12:18 am (PDT) Hi I've been offered a gig to do a live streaming blog from an event for 3 days in the US, payed for by the (big) company running the event.

Here are the direct links to my launch pages for streaming live video: RetroVideo: http://historichomeworks.com/hhw/conf/vidconf.htm where I use FlashMeeting, which is rather low video quality, free service, somewhat difficult to get signed up and started using. Strong on video conferencing features including text chat, slide shows, drawing on the slides, etc. Reports from the Field: http://historichomeworks.com/hhw/video/rftf.htm where I use Kyte.tv, much higher quality video, can stream live from any computer/cam and from limited cell phones with special software, recordings immediately available, can upload edited videos, audio files, photos with background audio, free basic service which I use and paid expanded services, starting a $150 per month. Player embedable on webpages and viewable on many cell phones. Player has a built in text/audio/video chat feature that really works well. I usually use Kyte for my live streaming gigs when I don't need videoconferencing features. also, BamBuser.com, live streaming from computer/cam and many cell phones, recording immediately available, free service. Player embedable and viewable on many cell phones. When I am streaming for an event I always have a double backup with two other services set up and ready to go, in case one conks out. I've need it 3 times out of 10, all three times when the big/fancy/costly primary service quit working in the middle of the broadcast I was able to immediately switch over to the backup. (earned me deep praise from my client twice, especially the time when their own amazing computer guru has set up the streaming service that died) I have to say that FlashMeeting, Bambuser and Kyte have always worked for me and the paid services are hit or miss. None of the above require special software, just flash drivers on the computer. To broadcast from phones special software needed. John www.HistoricHomeWorks.com

http://www.youtube.com/user/dleesim#p/u/68/VbxcbGlRHZE i did invite my neighbor to join this list. i like having learned that likely the best of the new can be found here. i have forgotten more new formats than i ever learned, but i have learned to stay in touch with folks that know how to do what is new. i myself have been in video since 1973 - i am the gang leader in the above bit. shot in 1973 in 16mm, transferred to 2 inch tape for audio and editing, and broadcast. archive tapes were dumpstered, fans salvaged and tranfered to VHS when management was not looking. VHS transfered to DV tape then digitally cleaned up and remastered. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Rupert Howe rup...@... wrote: For advice from people on this list: Verdi ran 24 hours 24 artists last year, getting 24 people to VJ their own session, hosting live and mixing in pre-recorded video, using Mogulus (now Livestream.com) - would be worth asking him for his experience advice.

[videoblogging] Re: VLMC for Windows nopw available
I downloaded and installed it on my 3-year old WindowsXPHome system that is not particularly powerful. It ran fine, and imported some MP4 clips from my Xacti HD1010, the import was very fast. I was able to put a few clips on the time line. Playback was smooth, but the timeline control stick was a little flaky. The transcribe feature was turned off. No obvious transitions or effects. Cutting clips and deleting segments was a little flaky. It took about 15 minutes to output 2 min. to a file with H264 codec in an AVI container. This was the only output format choice. The avi file played fine in VLC, it would not import into MicroSoft Movie Maker 2.1. Verdict: needs a lot more work to be useful. I am still trying to find a no-cost editor/low-cost that will take my Xacti mp4 files directly and edit them. Currently the workflow of converting files to edit in Windows MM is too time consuming. I just tried Womble MPEG Video Wizard, which work fine but it costs $100. Premiere Elements 2.0 came with the camera, but that program simply does not run on my computer in a stable fashion--PE acts like it wants me to spend $10-15k for a new computer and five or six hard drives for its various needs. I could get a $100 plug in for PE that deshake the Xacti's very shaky video, but PE is too demanding for my simple computer. Any recommendations, other than getting a camera with better stabilization? (Which one?) --John www.HistoricHomeWorks.com
