Can I do that in Ecamm? A StreamYard to Ecamm Ultimate Transition Guide

[@ZaiXPMusic]

This is incredible! I will have to get this!!! I am about subscribe as well. Your way of teaching is great!

[@kirkrnugent]

@@ZaiXPMusic wow thanks so much man! So glad this video was helpful. What are you using to stream now?

[@kingraimyahchicago]

Wow….ur the 🐐 Kirk Thxs for this video … got to watch it a few times to get it all together… yeah Ecamm should be cutting u a check for this one… Salute💪🏿🖤

[@kirkrnugent]

Wow Wow Wow!!!! Such kind words my friend.Let me know if there are other questions you'd like answered as you move from StreamYard to Ecamm. If you're on a Mac Ecamm is the hands down best option. If you havent already consider joining membership, it's $9 a month and ensures we can keep producing this kinds of content.

[@prgioesp]

Question, how do you make that zoom effect on your videos? it looks great!

[@kirkrnugent]

@@prgioesp I use an app called Pro Mouse from the Mac Store it’s just a few dollars but worth every penny.

[@ToTheTopwithCarlosNavarro]

Thanks for this video. I really love Streamyard. I don’t think it is enough of a difference to switch. I do like the local ability which probably really helps with latency. Also the comments look a lot better on ecam. Great video! Thank you!

[@kirkrnugent]

@@ToTheTopwithCarlosNavarro thanks for the comment and support of the channel. I did this video as a response to many current StreamYard subscribers upset because of the major price increase making Ecamm significantly cheaper.

[@ToTheTopwithCarlosNavarro]

@@kirkrnugent gotcha!

One thing I love about Ecamm is that you can play the vid either as an mp4 , or webm. MP4 seems to play in the bottom of a scene (which I sometimes don’t like), and has far more controls. A webm has less controls, but can be layered wherever you want in that scene, and you can customize it. Kinda wish they made they’d look into the mp4 file being able to customize and place that file wherever you want in the scene as well

[@kirkrnugent]

Hey Shaka, thanks for the comment. What you describe is how both video formats work. MP4 can't be played as a layer it has to be the entire scene, while webm gives you the flexibility with the audio. MP4 can also be used as an animated overlay but you dont get any audio. If you havent already consider joining membership, it's $9 a month and ensures we can keep producing this kinds of content.

[@StopStrugglingNow]

Mac Only?

[@kirkrnugent]

@@StopStrugglingNow Yes. Ecamm, the software, is only compatible with MacOS.

[@daibydaitv]

I use a Cam Link 4k capture card also for my DSLR camera. Between Ecamm and Streamyard brings the best out 4k picture while streaming/recording?

[@daibydaitv]

And did you record this video using Ecamm? It's very crisp

[@kirkrnugent]

@@daibydaitv hands down Ecamm has waaaaaay better video quality it’s not even a competition. This is the very issue that sent me back to the market place looking for an alternative platform and I was excited to find Ecamm and never looked back. For all my live shows and recorded content (including this video) I use Ecamm. Thanks for the comment and support of the channel.

[@kirkrnugent]

@@daibydaitv yes I used Ecamm to record this video in 4k using a dslr connected via a capture card. If you want a free trial of Ecamm use my link - kirkrnugent.live/ecamm

[@daibydaitv]

@@kirkrnugentthanks for the response & all you do!

[@weatherwatchok]

Can you record video and stream it later?

[@kirkrnugent]

@@weatherwatchok absolutely! Actually I use Ecamm to record all my videos including this one. When streaming it later it’s not automated so you will have to go live and then play the video but the rest can be automated in terms of ending the broadcast. Hope that answers the question, thanks for the comment and support.

[@saintwolfvision]

Streamyard just seems to works better in practice. Guests have lots of issues connecting with ecamm but 0 issues w streamyard. Streams with streamyard have crisp and level audio. ecamm audio is not level and impossible to fix later. I would say the audio problems are the biggest issues. Getting complaints from viewers. Streamyard streams are just flawless and less headache.

[@kirkrnugent]

@saintwolfvision thanks for the comment and support of the channel. Also thanks for sharing your detailed experience between the two platforms. The cost difference between the two has caused many to rethink what platform they will chose. StreamYard was always more expensive but have recently increased significantly. That said the issues you've detailed with Ecamm I assume come from you're own experience which I respect and also respectfully disagree completely. I use Ecamm to create every video on this channel and for every live show. I have way more audio control in Ecamm than SY I havent had issues with guests for myself or client projects and I have so much more flexibility to design and brand my content with Ecamm than SY. Also use Ecamm at my church where we have thousands watching every week. Similar to SY you can record isolated audio tracks so you have unlimited flexibility to correct issues in post. Lastly the video quality between the two can't be compared. StreamYards 1080p simply isn't 1080p and ive worked with support to confirm that. Where Ecamms 1080p is true and they have 4k as an option. StreamYard has its strengths it's super simple and limited personally I can NOT share that it's flawless but I also would NOT say Ecamm is flawless either. Again I thank you for your comment and just want to share my own experience as well with both platforms.

[@empresariosonline9862]

Yes, you can record a webinar, schedule it, and launch it as "live" on Ecamm. If yes, how?

[@kirkrnugent]

@@empresariosonline9862 thanks for the comments and support of the channel. To your question, I mostly do live webinars which I accomplish through Ecamm and zoom. Even with StreamYard I've only done live webinars using the OnAir feature. So when you say launch it are you referring to pre-recorded?

[@millonariospr]

Yes

[@TEMDeuce]

Thank is the same exact question that I was going to ask. Streaming prerecorded material is a gamechanger. I was hoping @kirkrnugent answered it I love that feature in streamyard and I will have to pay that price increase to in order to keep it. I will try Ecamm 's free trial to see if they offer it.

[@kirkrnugent]

@@millonariospr So with Ecamm you can play a pre-recorded video for the webinar but it's not automated like GoToWebinar or WebinarNinja. Are you able to automate webinars with StreamYard On-Air?

[@kirkrnugent]

@@TEMDeuce I hope I'm answering this question properly. It's absolutely possible to play a pre-recorded video in Ecamm even for a Webinar but it's not a fully automated experience you will have to open zoom and play the video. Does that answer the question? So sorry for the confusion and thankful for your comments.

[@bindraussen]

Thanks for this ツ Subscription ON ... How can I create and save different layouts for different channels and use this mutual?

[@kirkrnugent]

Thanks for your comment and subscription to the channel! Means a lot! By layout I am assuming you mean scenes is that correct? If so you can duplicate Studios and you can also export scenes and import them in other studios.

[@freedomsaoirse]

Thanks so much! Foírfe (perfect)! Now those of us leaving SY have a place to go.

[@kirkrnugent]

Come on over to Ecamm my friend! If you have a Mac it's the hands down BEST streaming / content creation suite you can find!
