How to Set Up a Live Webinar for Training

I was asked for tips on setting up a webinar.  Here’s Part One…

What is a webinar?
  • Webinars are web-based seminars with more than 30 participants. 
  • Online presentations, workshops, lectures and meetings.
  • Webinars are interactive between the viewer and the presenter. 
Why conduct webinars online?
  • Save money on travel, catering and venue.
How to organise a webinar?
  1. Set the date in advance.  Avoid dates near holidays to ensure maximum attendance.
  2. Set the right time. Avoid timings when your participant will be out of office and avoid having it too close to the end of the day.
  3. Set the agenda. Determine the duration and list out the topic.  Include some Q and A time.
  4. Select you webinar tool. Test various tools and choose the one with features that suits your requirement.
  5. Practice running the webinar.  Ensure you know how to use the webinar tool to run the session smoothly.
  6. Send the invitation. Outline the agenda so participants will know if it is relevant for them. Include a link to connect to the webinar. 
  7. Record the webinar. Make the recorded webinar available for later use or for people who did not attend.
Webinar tool vs online meeting tool?
  • Most online meeting tool accommodates up to 30 participant, while the webinar tool can take hundreds or more.
  • Webinar tools have features like invitation, registration and followup facilities. 
How to choose a webinar tool? Questions to ask…
  • Can it accommodate multiple presenters at different places?
  • Can it display slides from the presenter’s computer?
  • Can it play back a video from the presenter’s computer?
  • Does it allow user with slower internet to switch to lower resolution video?
  • Can you send over files to your viewer?
  • What is the maximum number of participants?
  • What is the price?
  • Can you test a free trial before committing?

Finally, TWO webinar-like services you must explore…

Sony Vegas Pro 8 Tutorial - Multicamera Editing

Sony Vegas Pro 8 makes it easier to edit videos from different cameras right from the timeline. You can capture and edit video for a single scene from 2 or more cameras or for a single scene shot a few times with one camera. Here is a tutorial of a Multicamera Edit of a drama I shot. The drama was acted out four times to the public and being a non-profit organization, the client have budget only for one videographer. For each of the 4 acts, the camcorder (Sony HDR-FX7 High Definition Camcorder) was placed at 4 different positions and shot in various angles. Multicamera edit is accomplished in only 8 steps with the Sony Vegas Pro 8. Step #1: Capture Multicamera Video Clips Use the normal Sony Vegas Video Capture function to capture recordings from each camera. Give each capture filename a unique name. Enable scene detection before capturing so that each segment is captured as a separate clip. Step #2 : Layout Video Clips on Timeline Drag and drop video clips over each other on the...

Macbook Air M1 Case

I bought a transparent case for my MacBook Air M1 . It came with a free screen protector, a keyboard cover, and some rubber plugs to cover the ports. Check it out! https://youtu.be/d-wALSd3nn8 I didn't expect the rubber plugs. It was a nice surprise. The case fits snuggly, with access to all the ports. The keyboard cover is almost invisible to the eye. I have no intention to use the screen protector. Why? I need to see the true color of the display for my YouTube videos. ~ Adrian Lee  @Adrian Video Image  The video was recorded on iPhone 12 Pro Max with Filmic Pro app in 4K 60fps and edited with Capcut.

FCPX - The storage device "Macintosh HD" is almost full

The message "The storage device Macintosh HD is almost full" appeared when I was editing a video with Final Cut Pro X on my new Apple Macbook Air M1.   Final Cut Pro Taking up Too Much Space  My Macbook Air M1 had only 256GB of storage onboard. My raw footage was only about 9GB. The biggest file was the FCPX project files itself at about 140GB! How did 9GB become 140GB? There is not enough disk space for my Final Cut Pro. Why Is Final Cut Pro Taking up So Much Storage Final Cut Pro renders files in high-quality media so that we can playback our edits smoothly direct from the timeline.  It creates multiple HUGE high-quality files of our footage in the background.   It is a good thing, so as to maintain high-quality final edited video, BUT not a good thing for a laptop with only 256GB. How to Clear Disk Space on Final Cut Pro The question is how to delete the rendered files in FCPX? 1. Select the library in FCPX...  2. Go to Files > Delete Generated L...
