Ecamm Live - the Best Live Streaming App for Mac

-
Live streaming setup not working on a Mac? 

I have a problem streaming external camera video signals via OBS on a MacBook Pro. I get lags, delays, and latency issues... whatever you call it. 

Then I researched and found that the problem is caused by the Mac not helping in distributing the conversion work between the CPU and the GPU processors... a restriction Apple decided to put it.

I am already using a top-end MacBook Pro with 16GB RAM, 500GB SSD, and 2GB Nvidia CUDA Graphics Processing Unit (GPU).

The suggestion is to use a Windows PC... which does not have that restriction.

Now, if I want to continue to use my Mac for live streaming, there is only one solution today... Ecamm Live.

Ecamm Live helps to split up the workload in converting the external camera video signals between the CPU and GPU processors.

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.
