This is so great! Thank you. I needed to pick up a few of these items for my live streams. Love this so much.

[jeffostroff]

Sean one of your best videos yet! Really cleared up a mystery for me, I just bought a new high end Nikon Z6 and was wondering how to start using it for live broadcasts, how to get video from camera to PC, even though my Samsung Galaxy S8 phone has been great on 4G network, The Nikon lenses, especially my new 50 mm 1.8 really takes it to a new level and tight depth of field separating me from the back ground. Your black magic card was the missing link for me. SUGGESTION for future video: Next you need to show us how to live stream with our camera when we are mobile, i.e. patch it through our smart phone to go live on YouTube. I take my phone into stores a lot and do product reviews live, but again, the Nikon would boost the quality into the stratosphere if I can figure out how to stream mobile with it. you'll get a million views off that one for sure.

Sean, the biggest game-changer for me was going to a triple monitor setup. I started using this setup when I was getting my degree in Cybersecurity and wouldn't trade it for anything!

[TimRoseOfficial]

Sean this is one of the BEST live stream vids I've found. I enjoyed your others too, and I've checked out a lot of others but they don't really go into the details like you do! I am finding the livestream aspect quite intimidating to get set up, mostly because I'm on an older laptop now (5 years) that's really starting to show its age, and I don't have the budget to spend on setting up a new computer/camera etc! However, I am saving this video to my private playlist so I can refer back when I am able! Always appreciate your super helpful content, thank you my friend! 👊

[Lifewithstan]

Awesome video and we are so happy to watch your video and learn from you.

[melissacaputo]

I love how clearly everything is laid out, so nice!

[RamBT]

Bro...because of you, I'm about to hit 1k subs.

Thank you for all the great tips! 😎

[AromaDelightBeautyCareProducts]

Sean, I'm so nervous about the live stream! Thank you so much for explaining this technique! I will give it a try soon!

[justintaylor-moneymindset]

My videos have gotten so much better since discovering this channel. Thank you so much 🙏

[JahStyles]

Thanks. Very helpful and on-point videos.

[shorty]

I absolutely love your videos! I have been studying your videos and making my own notes. Im going in full force this time 🤣 once I get the courage to talk to the camera... Wish me luck ❤️💛

[makingsense]

People will find any reason to dislike a video. If everything was free in the caption they would still dislike it. Great Video ! Very informative!

[tombuck]

Thanks Sean! This is really helpful. My high school students do a live daily broadcast in a pretty rad studio we out together, but my streaming setup at home is kind of a mess.

[ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Wow, this is a lot! I started a bare bones live stream setup but my upload speed is only 0.5 MBPS, don't think I can do it from here. Within a year or so I should be able to go full time on YouTube, thinking of getting an office down in the city where I can link to high speed internet. At that point I'll build a full command center, probably will come back to this video and buy all this gear!

[IgorOli]

For the people who are starting out. Neewer is an amazing cost-benefit for your studio.

[chessoptics]

I am an absolute beginner this is too much for me right now but i love your presentation clarity and informative information if I had the money id just pay you to teach me everything in person i love your set up man damn id get this before i purchase a car its wonderful!

[beMOTIONdESIGN]

So good! Love BTS as well as gear videos and this satisfied both of those desires! Thanks again for another great video!

[LivingSpiritism]

Great video, Sean. Lots of great ideas. At my church we Livestream the lectures using Wirecast, but we're starting a new live podcast with a video feed so I'll check out the vMix software and see if it might be a better solution. I'd love to start and end our Livestream with a short "bumper" video intro, and from what I just saw here it looks like it's easier to do that on vMix than Wirecast. Very cool. I'm going to share this with my other friends in the podcast.

[BecomingHerWithFlash]

You made me start my channel this 2020. Can't wait to share my progress!

[simardisabelle]

Thank you so much ! I'm starting from scratch with the equipment and you gave me a good idea about my needs. I will start teaching online and I want to use that kind of setup, wireless to be able to walk, talk and ear perfectly. I am moving a lot and I would like to get a perfect sound for my learners. Maybe you suggest to me that beautiful microphone, or the mic on me? 🙂👩🏻‍🏫
