After seeing the recent buzz around Meld Studio, I decided to give it a go as a replacement for OBS. Check out my first impressions in this video:

Hey all, after taking a bit of a break from YouTube in 2024 (you'll see why in future videos), I'm happy to say I'm back to posting regular tech content and I'm kicking off 2025 with a review of Blackmagic's Micro Control panel. Please give it a watch and let me know if you have any specific questions you want answered about the device:

Blackmagic have quietly announced a 16TB version of their popular Cloud Store Mini for $2,995. Ive been a user of the 8TB version since it was released and cannot praise it enough… it’s a crucial part of my editing and storage workflow. Having a 16TB version available in the same compact rack mountable form factor is a great move by BM! This gets me excited for what else they have in store for us at NAB next month!

This is cool, @photojoseph saw my video on turning the ATEM ISO DaVinci Project into a Multicam Timeline… and then used that to take it a step further to allow you to replace the footage from ANY camera (not just a Blackmagic Camera). This opens up even more possibilities! Check out his video tutorial here: https://youtu.be/CZpcvqOPAKo?si=OrXXH...

Today’s video is a tutorial MANY of you have been requesting! How to turn an ATEM ISO DaVinci file into a full MULTI-CAM PROJECT, so you can edit it in the Edit tab of DaVinci and use the Multicam viewer to make cuts/edits. It’s taken me months to crack the code, but I’ve finally done it!

HUGE Blackmagic announcement with tons of updates and new cameras & kit. Got any question for Blackmagic? I’ll be interviewing them at IBC 2023 tomorrow and want to get your questions answered.
Also let me know if there are specific products you want to see more of, I’ll be filming a bunch on the stand 👍

Sony has just unveiled the new ILX-LR1 professional camera with a 61.0 effective megapixel, full-frame image sensor, interchangeable E-mount lenses, and full remote operation. It's also got both 4K and 1080p HDMI output. On paper this look to be a serious contender if you're in the market for a small box camera for your live stream setups! Sony has thrown down the micro camera gauntlet... will Blackmagic reply ahead of IBC 😉

This might be Blackmagic's CHEAPEST Hyperdeck, but I've got a video coming out TOMORROW revealing why it's THE MOST POWERFUL Hyperdeck available thanks to a few hidden features. The video definitely isn't one to miss, and I apologise in advance if you feel the need to buy a Hyperdeck Shuttle HD right away after watching it 😉
See you tomorrow 😊
