00:00:00 Intro
00:00:09 Morning Everyone! What camera(s) and lens would the Panel recommend for a House of Worship where volunteers with minimal photography knowledge would be operating and learning the cameras on a weekly basis?
00:11:08 DPA has entered the wireless mic market. [link]
00:19:05 I have completed a complicated edit of a 3-person video podcast in FCP on a Mac. I want to export separate audio tracks for each person to send to my sound engineer but I only see how to send all dialogue together. Advice?
00:27:39 Is there any reason Loopback being downloaded and installed on computers in an education environment might cause security issues? Having it would certainly help with playback volume issues in classrooms.
00:30:00 Should we use oxybot or codelight for our projects?
00:31:25 Do you charge significantly less for a production if the client is a not-for-profit organization and used to getting a discount? If so, has that become an issue for pricing other productions when a client has learned about "the deal?"
00:39:39 With home internet backup systems, how can the backup know to kick in when the primary fails? Speedily?
00:41:49 Our ATEM has no audio. What’s up with that?
00:43:50 Using Zoom ISO, how do you record the ISOs? Is a hardware device needed and/or can additional software be used to make the recording on the same laptop as Zoom (that has Zoom running)? What is recommended?
00:48:05 I learned about programs like companion and zoom OSC from this show. Is there a website or does the office hours discord have a thread that list all of the amazing tools and apps that are talked about on the show?
00:50:05 iOS 18.1 added call recording to the iPhone's phone app. Has anyone used it and the transcription output , and does it work in FaceTime calls? (Check the law in your jurisdiction first)
00:52:17 What is the best TV for Blu Ray and UHD? Best quality, best for budget, and best bang for the buck near 55 inch?
00:55:54 I'm having trouble updating the latest firmware on my ATEM Mini Pro ISO. I have it on my network, my computer sees it, but pushing the update to it is not working. Any ideas why this is giving me problems?
00:56:47 Good to see you, Chris Fenwick have you moved closer to Da Vinci Resolve ?
00:57:07 I've been holding off on buying another Mac, waiting on the Mac Studio M4. Do you think the tariffs will affect prices on the Mac studio M4 when it releases? Does it make sense to buy the M3 Mac Studio
00:58:02 In Adobe Premiere Pro is there a way to lock the workspace so panels do not move. This is for a high school media class with shared PC's and it's an ongoing problem ;)
