An explosion of multiple programming streaming on multiple platforms is upon us. For example, advancements in technology and production equipment "have made it possible for any expert to produce an informational and educational TV program that benefits public awareness," according to Majeed Javdani, writing in Forbes. "Previously, broadcasting was an extensive enterprise requiring millions in capital and operating expenses, along with a large team for production, as well as regulatory and technical burdens."

Quick tip for a video editor from an audio engineer #2: Clip gain vs. volume automation: what’s the difference? 🤔 The photo on the top is one of my pet peeves. To control the level of the music, the editor used clip gain on some regions, and volume automation on others. 🙃 A few issues with this approach: ✖️Creates an inconsistent gain stage, which can negatively affect the overall sound of the mix ✖️Makes the sequence hard to “read” or interpret visually ✖️Complicates the process of making splits Check out the picture on the bottom for what to do instead: ✔️Use clip gain to set the overall level of the music ✔️Use volume automation for dips and rides ✔️Sit back, relax, and enjoy the sound of your well-balanced rough mix Then, call your favorite audio mixer to make it sound even better! 😉

During the Covid pandemic, many of us learned how to put out decent video with our cellphones. Just as we need “good light” for our selfies, we also needed it for our videos. What we didn’t have were options to capture good audio that any novice could operate. News still had to be reported, interviews had to be conducted so we accepted whatever audio was audible. Not ideal but it worked for that time. Today, there are so many inexpensive and easy to operate options available. Below I have provided four options for you to review. When you click on the links, you will be directed to the B&H photo & video website. Here you can look through any questions someone might have about the product, read the reviews and have access to any accessory you might be interest in.

Once you’ve read up on the options, go to YouTube and check out a few videos to learn even more. Once you’re comfortable, go ahead and make that purchase. You will not be disappointed! With a minimal investment, you would have increased your production value. Check out the video below so you can hear the difference.

A study conducted by the University of California found that individuals retain 80% of what they see in video content compared to just 20% of what they read. Training Videos supplement the controlled procedures, providing a valuable visual reference to the Best Practices and Techniques. Higher Retention allows operators to assemble faster, which positively affects production Yields. #MedicalDeviceManufacturing #VisualTraining #TrainingVideos #EmployeeOnboarding #ContinuousImprovement #ManufacturingExcellence #TrainingBestPractices

Live streamers - what’s up with YouTube?! Why am I unable to change the camera input? It’s greyed out and won’t allow me to switch the input from the computer webcam or the Blackmagic Atem or even OBS. It also tells me it’s in use in another application but I can’t find what or where to turn it off! Any help out there? #youtube #livestream

This post sheds light on the difficulties of managing multiple video switchers efficiently within a limited timeframe. Juggling eight distinct switchers over eight days, encompassing popular brands such as GrassValley, Ross, Sony, FourA, Blackmagic, NewTek, Panasonic, Streamdeck, and Roland, can indeed pose a daunting challenge. Despite the potential confusion that may surface, acquiring proficiency in operating each switcher is within reach. Seeking assistance online can be instrumental in navigating through this complexity. Remember, with determination and the right resources, mastering these technologies is attainable. #VideoProduction #TechChallenges

TV shows offer MORE opportunity now than ever before! Our format easily solves the four factors of control, distribution, funding, and creativity. We provide the right partners a unique opportunity to create, film, and distribute their show, within a family of similar shows called, "Dad Downstairs". Imagine a TV show with REAL LIFE situations, that millions of parents and families face, where EACH city has their cast and crew and YOU are the Executive Producer in that city! Family drama, a spice of humor, and different casts in each market worldwide! That is the formula for "Dad Downstairs". The new drama com features a divorced couple, raising their children, each living in a duplex in the same house! Most TV shows portray divorced couples in sitcoms, often at the expense of the ex-wife ("Judith" in Two and a Half Men). Few portray the challenges divorced couples face; raising their children, and trying to heal from hardship and trauma. Most use one parent or the other as a scapegoat, making them look bad, to create humor, shaping the false reality of how these couples NEED to communicate better for their healing and their children. Let's change the narrative to healing pain, NOT just entertainment! Cast yourself in the lead role, choose your cast and crew, then write your scripts! Invite the mayor or governor for a cameo role. Get the city tourism and local merchants involved. Film in local hotels, restaurants, and city locations, promote where you live and work, and be a hero in your town! Hire local actors and crew. CREATE JOBS in your city or state, and be a show co-creator of a hit TV series! We are looking for EPs in EVERY city and country with D2C streaming. We created ``Dad Downstairs`` for worldwide distribution. Think of "Real Housewives" and how that concept flourished and is in 21 markets now. This show concept has a broader appeal to a wider demographic worldwide! We offer a 90% revenue stream in your market AND help with marketing and distribution from the 10% share we retain, all with a nominal license fee. Each EP in that market can create their script, cast and crew, union or non-union, film, edit, and finish as many episodes as they desire. We offer a marketing platform where they can receive income, ``direct to consumer`` (D2C) the first week the show is done and downloaded! Each EP has its dashboard to monitor their income stream and can even allocate a percentage of the income in that market to investors, sponsors, partners, or supporters. They too get their dashboard to keep track of their earnings! The best part is you can withdraw your money any time you wish, every DAY if you want! That is your choice. Every market of ``Dad Downstairs`` family drama, has a different cast and crew. Remember, YOUR script will differ from ours too.
