How to livestream with a DSLR photographic camera – Video Transcript

Okay, permit's go started. Hullo, and welcome, whether you are catching me live now, or if you're watching us on the replay. Today, I am going to be covering a favourite topic of mine.

I'm going to show yous how to livestream using a DSLR photographic camera. And this actually will be a simplified tutorial and walk through of what I personally use. Earlier you become, do I accept to practise it this mode? No, but this is how I do it.

And I think this is kind of a squeamish and simplified way of doing it. And I'chiliad going to walk y'all through not only the equipment, merely I'thousand also going to show yous how to go end to cease.

In one case you've got all your equipment, how do yous actually use your DSLR camera to alive stream with it? I'chiliad going to walk you through the software using StreamYard.

And if nosotros're lucky and information technology's playing nice, I may evidence you the other one I apply, which is pardon me, Ecamm Live besides. Let'due south become right into it. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Sara Nguyen, and I help coaches, content consultants and creative pros do their business organization using video with ease.

And I live stream a lot nigh live streaming. Brand sure that you check out the description considering I'm going to put the links to all of the equipment and whatever of the resources that I mentioned in this video.

And, you lot know, that's where a lot of the action volition happen if you want any extra information. Let'southward get right into it. Okay. Bare basics in social club to alive stream with a DSLR camera, to the interweb, whether yous're looking to do that for YouTube, or y'all're looking to do that for Facebook or both or any other social media platform, the commencement thing that you lot demand in order to do that is a DSLR camera.

I personally use Canon, I, this is the Canon 80d. You're watching me now through the Canon 90d. I upgraded because I wanted the Canon 90d, which was 4k. Yous don't have to go 4k.

The Catechism 80d works really nicely as well. I don't know what lens this is. This was a lens that my husband had, but the one that you're watching me through right at present is the 18 to 55-millimetre lens.

The one that came with the camera, I believe. It'due south simply the standard lens. But obviously, with the DSLR, you lot can swap out the lens then that you can create different looks and things like that.

First of all, you need a DSLR camera. It doesn't accept to exist a Canon. I personally use a Canon. I don't know why. I think it was just the brand that I liked at the time.

And I really love them. Now, the other thing that you demand to be cautious of is that the DSLR camera needs to take video capability because not all of them do. Make sure that the DSLR photographic camera that you're using has video capabilities.

Bank check the, you know, check with the person y'all're buying it from check with the specs of the camera that it can actually play video. The second matter that I'd recommend that you go is a ability adapter for your camera, correct?

The cameras come with a battery, and the problem with live streaming with the DSLR is that it juice its bombardment and you don't want the camera to shut off considering it'south out of juice. If you tin can, I highly recommend getting a ability battery for your DSLR then that you tin plug the camera into a abiding source of ability.

Then you don't have to worry about it dying on you. That'southward the second matter that I really recommend that you get. Now, this is a footling chip, I wouldn't say controversial, only times are changing, right?

The next thing that I recommend that you lot go is a capture card. There are lots of capture cards out there, and I know that Canon has a web utility now that you can, you know, utilize your DSLR without a capture bill of fare. However, it's still in beta.

I haven't tested it out. I can't comment about it. I've heard it's a petty bit buggy, hence why I didn't rush out to become and get information technology, merely I recommend getting a video capture card.

There are lots on the market. You lot need a video capture menu in club to connect your camera to your figurer. The i that you're watching me through right at present, I got it yesterday. Excited. I'm going to show you lot my screen.

The 1 that you're watching me through right now is the AVerMedia Alive Gamer Ultra. Actually cool, really cool, cute, reliable 4k on the higher end, but stunning, reliable capture carte du jour.

That's on the higher end of the ones that I would recommend. The other ones that I've used, I've used the Cam Link by Elgato, the Cam Link 4k. I'thousand having relationship issues with this one.

We were really good, but now we're having issues. I've just had problems with reliability, with the Cam Link 4k. Hence, why I moved over to AVerMedia. For the most part, it's been really good, simply I had, I've had issues with the Cam Link because it'south but being inconsistent. I've plugged it in and it'southward not worked.

It merely decides to work whenever it wants to. Nosotros're in a, we're in a bad relationship at the moment. I'm trying to resolve information technology with Elgato and it's this taking a fiddling bit of fourth dimension.

That's another one that I've used, but having a couple of problems, you may not, merely this is my feel. Y'all don't have to splurge on a capture menu. This is a no-brand i.

It'southward a, I don't even know, literally a no-brand one that I got for about $20 off Amazon and it does the task also. I've got the links in the description to similar a high end, the Elgato, and so similar a no-brand i, which really just does the task.

Y'all really simply need something to join the dots. And so you lot need a cablevision to bring it all together and don't worry. I'm going to show you how it all comes together. It depends on your camera.

In terms of what HDMI cablevision you need. For the Catechism, I have an HDMI to an HDMI mini. The mini goes into the Canon, similar this. The mini HDMI side goes into the Catechism like this.

And and so the other side of the HDMI goes into your capture menu, right? And then the capture card, motion this effectually, goes into your computer. In the USB port of your computer, and that's how y'all kind of claw information technology upwardly birthday.

Once over again, we've got the DSLR camera, the HDMI mini into the Canon 90d, and and then the other side of the HDMI cable into the capture carte. And that's a bit blurry, merely you become the betoken.

And and so the capture card into your reckoner. That'due south the basic setup. The other thing that I would recommend that you lot go is a microphone considering you desire to get decent quality sound.

There are lots of microphones. You're listening to me now on the Deity D3 Pro, which is a shotgun microphone. That's going direct into my computer. It'south a little bit on the higher finish, but I like how I sound with the microphone.

An alternative is a USB microphone. This is the RODE NT USB mini. RODE sent me this 1. It's a good microphone, good quality sound. And it plugs into your computer via USB, correct?

You literally merely plug information technology into the USB, plug it into the USB port, and then you lot've got everything going. You've got the capture card on one side, you lot've got the USB in the other port and you're all proficient to go.

I similar the RODE NT USB mini, one considering information technology'southward a USB microphone, significant y'all don't need annihilation fancy to get it working. You can plug it straight into your reckoner and information technology's adept. Information technology'due south a decent quality sound and it's easy to use, right?

And it's non that expensive. That'south why I really similar the RODE NT USB. Only that basically is the setup that I have. I take my camera, a capture card, and a microphone. That's pretty much it.

Permit's talk about how do you actually go live subsequently you've got all of your equipment set up. I'k going to go over, I'm going to show you lot how to do this in two means.

And this is why I had problems this morning 'crusade I stuffed up all of the live streams that I've got fix up. But let's get over to my figurer, and I'm going to show y'all how information technology all comes together. Alrighty.

This is i of my favourite live streaming software options. I do recommend that if you are going to live stream that y'all avert at all costs using the native Facebook producer.

The native Facebook software, it's just horrible to use. Information technology doesn't a lot of functionality and information technology's incredibly buggy. I use StreamYard and I use Ecamm Alive. Yous're looking at StreamYard right at present.

And I'm going to show you once everything is plugged in how easy information technology is to make, to go it all to happen. StreamYard I like because they've got a lot of functionality. They're web-based.

You don't take to rely on having a souped-upwardly reckoner. It's not, you know, hugging all the all of your computers processes and you tin can get it to piece of work. Now once you become into StreamYard, you select create broadcast.

I'thou going to get a pencil. so this matter here create broadcast. This button hither. And once you've done that, this will open up the ability for yous to really go alive.

You connect all of the social media accounts that yous desire to get live to. Whether that'south Facebook, YouTube, Periscope, you name it, you connect the 1 that yous want to go live to and and then you lot select information technology.

I'chiliad going to go demo, create circulate. We're getting there. And I'll prove you where the photographic camera comes in. Hither. Here, when I select cam/mic, so this option here, this allows me to choose the camera.

As you lot tin run across here, at that place'south different camera sources and this Live Gamer Ultra video 2, that'southward the capture carte du jour, right? I simply choose that capture carte. That's information technology. That'south it, right?

Audio, y'all can choose the microphone that you desire to use. I'm gonna shut that. Into broadcast studio, add myself to the stream. Boom! Boom goes, the dynamite hit get live and that's it.

Then I'm going live via the StreamYard and that'due south it. How piece of cake was that? It's non as hard as it used to exist. The software has gotten fabricated life so much easier for us and I recall the technology is becoming more than streamlined.

And as you can see, I'1000 live now, and this is using the same, I'1000 doubling seeing myself, the same camera equally this broadcast. All right, I'm gonna end this now. That'south how like shooting fish in a barrel it is to go live using StreamYard.

I'm going to close that at present. That'due south how you do information technology using StreamYard. Because I'k living life on the wild side, I'm going to prove you how to do it from Ecamm Alive.

I just need a second to set up it upwards and to move all of my windows. And so switched you over to do that. I'm going to bear witness yous how to do it now in, come on, Ecamm Live. All right.

Now you should be able to run into Ecamm Alive. This is my live ready. Lot of inception, a lot of risking life right now, simply with Ecamm Alive, once you accept everything fix, all y'all have to do is go to photographic camera.

And every bit you tin run across, Live Gamer Ultra Video, that's my capture card. I simply select the camera and that's it. And I'm live now, and that's it. That's how easy information technology is to get live using either StreamYard or Ecamm Live.

Literally select the capture card as your video source. That's it. I actually admittedly love it. Now, I need you to terminate doing that and then nosotros tin can become dorsum to me. Okay. Hopefully we're back. Alive life on a little scrap, a little bit on the wild side today with the technology setup.

That substantially wraps us up. Promise that was easy because I endeavour to brand information technology equally simple as possible, right? Try to break it downwards in terms of you demand a camera, you need a capture bill of fare, you demand a cable to bring information technology all together and you need a microphone for the nearly office.

Then obviously you demand a reckoner because it needs to plug into something. And and so you just need software to go live with it. It'south not every bit complicated as it used to be probably five years ago.

And I retrieve now, particularly with DSLRs, the price of DSLRs have come down and so much as well, particularly 4k DSLRs. If you want to go live streaming 4k, that I really, really encourage yous to requite it a go. If you can.

One time again, you don't have to utilise a DSLR. You can also utilize like a webcam, but this tutorial plainly is about how do you set it all up, put it upward all together with a DSLR camera. That essentially wraps up the tutorial today.

Thanks again for beingness here, equally usual, Dave, Meidiana. Pete John, my brother from another mother in Adelaide. Pete said, 'camera specs are important. Some entry-level DSLRs similar mine, don't send a clean HDMI signal'. This is true.

Every bit I said, yous need to brand sure that you besides, you know, it's i of those things where when yous spend a picayune flake more sometimes. Information technology helps makes life a little flake easier.

As Pete said, the entry level ones don't always work every bit nicely, but that doesn't mean you have to spend a lot of money. Just need to notice that space, enquire the, you know, retail assistant tin can this output in 4k or HD, whatever it is.

Ask questions, do your research, just this is how information technology comes all together. That essentially wraps upwards the live stream today, had a couple of difficulties, simply we got through it in the terminate.
