Adrian's Journal 220209 - Attempting a co-working Twitch stream

Wed 9 Feb 2022

What's a co-working live stream? I discovered it when I was searching if anyone streams while working without speaking. Yes, there are. It is exactly what it says, it's a stream that invites viewers to work with you. 

I successfully streamed publicly for 6 plus hours though without any audience. 

That's in the day. At night I streamed again on Tiktok in front of an audience. 

Here's what I did and learned. 

  • I used Yolobox Pro to stream directly to Twitch and switched between a wide shot of my desk, my computer screen, and my phone screen. 
  • I streamed for over 6 hours without talking, because that's what other co-working streamers do... And they have an audience of about 50 watching. 
  • I streamed myself working, making my product review video, doing admin work, and taking breaks.
  • I managed to complete a product review shoot of the Creative Live webcam showing my production process all the way. 
  • I used the Yolobox scoreboard overlay as my Pomodoro timer and keep a tab of the number of work sessions vs break sessions.  
  • Doing a co-working stream breaks the procrastination habit as a solopreneur working from home because you know there will be people watching. 
  • Why am I doing this? I have been a vlogger for a long time and wished I recorded my life 24 hours. Now it's possible. 
  • I streamed on Twitch for over 6 hours.
  • Also, it's about marketing, Just wait till my audience builds up to a decent crowd. I know because it's happening on Tiktok Live. 
  • I went live at night on Tiktok because the peak hour where my followers are most active is 9 pm. 
  • I started late at 9.30 pm because of preparation and motivation issues. The audience dwindled along the way.
  • At any one time, there were more than 10 viewers. 
  • I was recording my next Tiktok content in this stream, the Dr. Strange Portal tutorial
  • The viewers were actively commenting. Some asked to follow my Twitch. Many were appreciative of my work. Some tell me have to go the bed. 
  • I streamed on Tik-Tok live for 3 hours.
To make it better, I will start the co-working stream earlier, maybe at 9 am. As for the Tiktok stream, it's better to start at 8 pm and end after 9 pm to catch the most active time. It will also be better if I can monetize my Tik Tok videos.

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.

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...

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...
