How to Shoot and Stream Live Interviews with TriCaster Mini and Skype
March 24, 2016 by Chuck Baker
Lon Seidman’s Lon Reviews Tech Youtube Channel has over 80,000 subscribers and growing. Among his popular features are the “behind-the-scenes” videos that demonstrate how he produces quality shows as a one-person crew working both sides of the camera. In this video, he shows how he conducts live interviews, operating a TriCaster Mini for switching, graphics and streaming as he is also on-camera conducting the interview. He makes use of the TriCaster automation capabilities, including the ability to save profile templates for particular types of shows that include presets for the M/E buses, media players, graphics players and other resources.
