How to use mirrorless camera for multi live streaming without a computer or phone

I am about to document how I use my Panasonic mirrorless camera to multi-stream live on Facebook, Youtube, and Twitch without using a computer or a phone. 

3 Ways to Live Stream

I use 3 ways to broadcast a live stream? 

- The first and easiest way is to use a phone with the Prism Live Studio app and my favorite Joby tripod phone case. 

- The second way is to stream from my laptop using the OBS Studio Software and the built-in laptop webcam. 

- The third way is to use a dedicated live streaming encoding hardware or device so that I can stream at higher quality by connecting my mirrorless camera. 

The third method is the setup I'm going to talk about in this video.

Check out the links to all the items I just mentioned in the description or comments below. 

The Yolobox Mini

This live streaming encoding device is the Yolobox Mini AND it's not just an encoder.  

The Yolobox Mini is also...

- a monitor,

- a recorder, and

- a multi-platform streamer.

Keep watching and I will demonstrate what else it can do. 

Yolobox vs Pro vs Mini

Right now as I am recording this in the year 2022, there are 3 Yolobox versions out there. 

- The first Original one-of-its-kind Yolobox was introduced to the live streaming market with all-in-one features including the encoder, monitor, recorder, multi-streamer, and multi-camera switcher. 

- The Yolobox Pro came later with additional features and more video inputs. 

- The Yolobox Mini is the newest among the lot designed for a different type of user.  

There 3 distinct differences in the Yolobox Mini.  

1. First, it is the newest and the most affordable among the lot. 

2. Secondly, it has only one video input, unlike the multi-camera features in the other 2 Yolobox.  

3. Finally, as the name implies, it is small, nearly the size of a phone. 

Because of its mini size, it is definitely targeted at solo vloggers or live streamers like me.

Why use a mirrorless camera?

Using DSLRs offer excellent video quality, ultra-high photo resolutions, and impressive low-light performance. If you want the same image quality as a DSLR with a more compact camera, consider using a mirrorless camera for your live stream. 


What equipment is needed to stream live?
What equipment do I need for live streaming? 

You'll need a camera, mic or microphone, lighting, and a stable internet connection. You'll also need to get your (digital) hands on some live streaming software.

There are free social media platforms, like YouTube Live and Facebook Live, that allow you to live stream an event for free (other than the cost of any equipment you may have purchased for production).


How do I connect my live camera to the live stream?

Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the camcorder HDMI output and the other end of the cable to the HDMI input of the video capture device.

  1. Connect the video capture device to the computer using the USB cable.
  2. Turn on the camcorder by moving the POWER switch to the CAMERA position.

  2. Configure the encoder. ...
  3. Connect to the streaming platform. ...
  4. Check your internet connection. ...
  5. Start streaming.

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.

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.

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...
