Great video. We love Riverside! Also, love the ipod classic cameo...

[TheThrillerZone]

Holy Moly, this is one of the most informative, helpful, STRONG videos you've done. Bravo. And for the record, RIVERSIDE is getting better literally every single month. Double-Bravo! -DT of TheTZ

Appreciate the video. Always a fan of these more advanced tech/protocol videos from you guys. One thing I'd love to see Riverside implement is the ability to hook a second camera up to your phone and do a two-cam mobile recording. I'm a producer who has to remotely produce a lot of guests in difficult locations (mountain's, dessert, etc.) so keeping the footprint light for them while still allowing me to patch in and produce from a distance is top of mind. Right now we need the addition of a Zoom Podtrack hooked into 2 mics as well as a phone/riverside to do everything, but just being able to use a DJI pocket3 linked up to 2 DJI Lav mics and a guest's iPhone for a simple 2cam 2mic (4k) outside remote setup that I can remotely patch into would be my dream! Just putting it out there haha

Dude! That’s was great. I use riverside…. However what I just learned about Final Cut from you!!! Bro! I didn’t know how to do all of that combining stuff!

What do you store your fc library on? What type of drive?

[bulcub]

in fcpx, what timeline do/did you use? 24, 30 or 4k?

What is a good camera for a beginner for talking head videos? Also do you know a good way to sync audio / video with camera and rodecaster pro 2

[foodmonsterweightloss]

Overwhelmed as a newbie? OH YEAH. This video is definately not for beginners. Still, it's good to see what can be done as my compitence grows.

[InsightWithZaid]

Wow….. thats waaaay to complex. The equipment must have cost a fortune

[DSGQR]
