Hi Mike, in any case I'd like to say thank you very much for your work and trying to help me, I really appreciated all your effort and time. Yes. I can make that available to you. Email me (aldac...@gmail.com) and I'll set you up. I'll do that this weekend. The slides for John Colvin's video are 16:9, so I'm not doing the picture-in-picture thing for them. Most of them are pretty big in the raw video, but I'm showing a full screen view of each slide anyway for varying periods of time based on what he's saying. I hope this one turns out better for you. Since I'm foreigner I may sound a bit rough in my comments, but I really appreciated your help. Thanks again, Matheus.

I think that's ideal. Picture-in-picture has been requested many times in the past, with different examples given. This format you mention has come up several times. Next year, I'll ask ahead of time if we can arrange something like that.

Okay. I thought that by cutting to the split view in my edits, I was making the slide more legible. I actually had you in mind when I did it. It looks bigger and clearer to me than what is head on in the raw video footage, and definitely bigger than what they did in the livestream. Sorry it's less legible for you. By the way, is there any recorded version with that same camera from far behind without any edition (ie: split screen)? Yes. I can make that available to you.

I think that's ideal. I don't disagree with the slides on the screen, my problem was when showing this way: https://imgur.com/1LeGPRd , for example I was reading the slide normally live until the screen would split and now 2 tiny texts (Remembering: For me watching on the phone with vision impairment it was tough), and still is since I do it mostly on phone while I'm doing interval at work. I think one or another should be used, but the original video was enough/readable as is (At least for me) without that split. Matheus.

The speaker can get more space at the start, at the end, and occasionally as he/she is not talking directly on any slide. Other than that, I think Mike is overdoing a great work! ;) Agreed! None of this takes away from the job that Mike is doing with the raw footage he already has. I'm just mentioning this for future conferences. -Steve

I agree that the Facebook conference was very well done, they had cameras and camera operators everywhere. But in general, I think a video stream of the screenshare, a stream of the person talking (and only that), a stream of the whole stage, and if possible, video streams of each questioner would be a great raw source to start with.

The edited version is still too small? It's only slightly scaled down from full size, and larger than it was in the livestream. I don't have access to the video stream of the slides, so I had to export Walter's PDF to JPEG. They all came out square, and I scaled down only 15% in the video.

I did the same thing for the DConf Online videos last year. Makes it easier to follow. Looks good to me! If I were to suggest something, put the dconf logo in the gray gutter, and maybe the talk title when doing the split screen. But understandable if you didn't want to go back and do that. I tried that using the same background we used in the livestream, with the logo in a different position, and with it somewhat blended into the background. I just find it too distracting. My eyes keep drifting to the logo.

I already boosted the volume just below the clipping range. I'll see what I can do with the additional settings in the audio editor.

Walter's Edited DConf Talk Video -- Feedback Request
I've settled on a format for the edited talks that I think works. To be clear, I'm not chopping these up as I do the DConf Online talks to remove the pauses, uhs, ahs, etc. I'm letting the whole thing go from beginning to end just as if it were live. What's different from the livestream version is the layout. My goal is to ensure the slides are visible, while not focusing on them entirely, and cutting to the slide view at what seems like appropriate times (as opposed to the random cuts in the livestream). I've uploaded the edited version of Walter's talk and left it unlisted. Before I make it public, I'd like to ensure there are no major issues with it. And let me state beforehand: by "major", I mean *major*. I really, really don't want to go back into the editor with this unless I absolutely have to. As long as the audio can be heard, and the slides are legible when they need to be, then I'll be happy. I'm not going to do any minor touch ups or changes. I only want to know if it serves its purpose. If you haven't seen Walter's talk yet (or would like to watch it again), please give it a look and let me know if you uncover any major problems: https://youtu.be/iuP-AWUyjp8 Thanks!
