This Thursday 1/26, I Eric Norrell, Desktop Applications Specialist with Telestream will be doing a follow up show to my CES wrap show to talk about how to use Telestream Products in such a production. I will also talk about the troubles I encountered during production, and things that could have gone better.

I will be showing how I used Screenflow and Wirecast, and how Episode could tie into streaming workflows to expedite VOD delivery as well as some other post production help.

Please check out our Telestream Live Channel this Thursday at 10:30am PST/1:30 EST

Check out last weeks post with clips from the show to see some of what I saw at CES, and yes if you notice an audio issue in my recording I did as well and I will talk about how to control audio sources in Wirecast so that doesn’t happen to you on your broadcast.

Blog Post Update: Please find the Content from yesterday’s show more or less un edited below:

Craig and I worked through a few issues on the fly, and talk about why show prep is very important.

I had a really good time doing this show, even though we did it by the seat of our pants, in a way that I am constantly advising users to avoid. I hope that this was helpful in showing some common problems and solutions for some of those problems. If there is anything that you would like to see covered in upcoming Telestream Live! shows relating to video and wirecast please feel free to tweet @wirecasthelps or email wirecasthelps@telestream.net.

Live Web Streaming is not only becoming more popular, it’s becoming more necessary for social media, corporate and education initiatives.

Only a few years ago, large and expensive dedicated systems were required to produce high-quality streams. Now, you can do it with a few cameras and a computer.

In this webinar, you’ll learn the basics of how live streaming works, how to build your first stream, how to take full advantage of today’s live streaming software tools and how to interface with CDNs (Content Distribution Networks).
