Total rubbish for the money asked, just sell the app for $50 and fkkk off

[@erezcohen2519]

So happy about the timer! I'm planning to use ecamm live for Zoom concert performances and racked my brain trying to figure out how to avoid addressing my audience directly and create suspense before the opening song. I think the countdown will also allow latecomers a couple of minutes to shuffle in while people arriving on time will stay engaged.

[@bruce_daisley]

I've spent more time with you this week than I've spent with my family in three years. Thank you so much for such incredible videos

[@googleaccount2675]

Time for divorce

[@landalchemist]

Use the countdown time for my networking group for our infomercials, speakers, and referral sections of our meeting. Love the countdown timer.

[@AnthonyPrichardCommunications]

Placement targeting! The best low cost ad strategy. Awesome.

[@Stealth1490]

We are using countdown timers for the total eclipse on Chile! It's really helpful!

[@wawatough9662]

The timer is great for djs when there is a live competition. Thanks for the tutorial Adrian! Your awesome!

[@RichardPinnerMagician]

Hi Adrian Thanks for the videos. I'm going to use the countdown timer to countdown towards show time.

[@PepperTreeVilla]

He use the countdown timer every week for our live show on Monday nights. It's a way for us to start our stream while giving the notification tool on KZbin time to send out the notice that we're live. We usually have the timer set for 5-6 minutes. While that's counting down, we show our topic for the evening while playing some "groovy" music.

[@thewynnersclub2541]

We teach our clients how to pitch their Busines in 30 seconds, the countdown feature would be a great way for them to see the the time they have live!

[@nazdumanskyy]

if you created a circle overlay for your face view in the bottom right corner, is there any way to shift the view inside of it. As in shift left or right. I always find it so hard because it always crops to the center and then I have to move my camera every time

[@USALiveStream]

Your the most greatest GURU Turtorial Portal were everything you explain is cleared thank you, Sir Twenty Six thumbs up.

[@isaacmathewsmusic]

I'm an entertainer new to going live on Facebook, but I use the timer to countdown when I actually come on my live feed. I advertise say 6pm and then at 5:55Pm I fire up the live feed and I set a 5 minute timer that lets people know I'll be online when the countdown ends. I have an overlay that covers the entire picture that I "hide" behind till the counter hits zero. Thats the point when I shut off the overlay and viola there I am. Its kinda cheesy, but really kinda cool at the same time.

[@AdrianSalisbury]

I do exactly the same

[@gtwocgsf]

Thanks. I want to do a split screen overlay for my interviews. How does one do that? Thanks again.

[@bounderchris]

Once you add one and adjust and place it when you turn it back on does it go right back or do you have to adjust it again? Thanks!

[@RicTone]

how do you add a slideshow off images not a keynote presentation just images being looped? please advise. i would love to use this tomorrow for church.

[@symptothermie.eugenie]

Thank you very much Adrian !! You convinced me ^^ I subscribed thanks to your link, best regards !

[@spielundzeug]

What about transparent video overlays? Can't get them to work.

[@ThankYouPageMagic]

Just wanna say thanks. this helped on a couple of bits

[@AdrianSalisbury]

cheers mitch

[@OFICIALDAVIDGUAPO]

Hi Adrian, first of all thank you for your tutorials, I am from spain, just so you know you made it here too 😂. I am using the count down to do a life quiz show between 2 contestants. they have 10 seconds to answer and it really helps to have the countdown for the streaming 😜

[@AdrianSalisbury]

Nice work!

[@TomArildHansen]

Is there a way to edit a scene / text or anything, during LIVE, but hide the editing from the viewers? In OBS, you can get two windows. The one on the right is the LIVE view, and you can edit in the left one - and THEN change scenes.

[@ki5168]

Countdown timers are very useful for training courses, language training and the like.

[@KCAmersham]

We are using ECamm to live stream our church services. Is it possible to pull in lyrics from something like ProPresenter using NDI? Could they come in as an overlay in real time?

[@lfisher8154]

ProPresenter 7 makes this very easy using "Looks" which is found under Screens from the tool bar. If running Ecamm and ProPresenter on the same machine create a new screen and choose Syphon output or if Ecamm is on different machine choose NDI output. Remember that you must be on the same network to use NDI. More detail can be found on the Ecamm support website.

[@ear916]

Yes, we use it all the time with PP7.We use NDI, and it's setup as a lower third

[@jisraelgreene]

The functionality that you did at the 1:52 mark, has this been taken away? I have tried this several times and it does not bring my camera forward. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

[@joedawson4301]

Hi Adrian. I’m trying to use an animated lower third with an alpha channel. However when I import it, it doesn’t carry the alpha channel and shows up black. Do you know what’s going on?

[@ImpossibleBeats]

I was thinking the exact same thing.

[@DarrenFlemingAus]

Great tutorials on how to use overlays. But how do you create them so you can just drag them in when needed? Also, isi ti possible to have a reflector app appear as an overlay so I can show my Ipad on the screen of my live stream?

[@ear916]

Hello Adrian! I am new to Ecamm for our church and was a previous OBS user. I love the functionality of this software and think its great! However, i still can't get a grasp on how to use overlays. We sometimes have to add a text or graphic on the fly (while we're live) and when you are live and add an overlay, everything you do to that overlay i.e sizing, moving etc, shows up live! how can you stage it before pushing it live? It seems like by default, it is set to 'show' and coming from OBS, you had a studio mode that allowed you to queue up something before pushing it live. Any help you can give me would be appreciated! -- Thank you!

[@edtwodth]

Is it possible to have a background behind the video?

[@awiwicaksono6881]

Hi Adrian,... I just subscribe for standard account. Is this feature (overlays) only available for pro accounts?

[@RafalGalinski_drony]

thx Adrian, your tutorials are rocking!

[@loading.express]

Thank you a lot, Adrian! Very helpful!

[@AdrianSalisbury]

thank you

[@jisraelgreene]

So this may be a silly question, but can the audience always see the controls from ecamm?or will they only see our image and what we are attempting to share?

[@AdrianSalisbury]

J Israel Greene only what you share on the main screen is seen

[@bnieverajr]

Regarding overlays, what are the specs for full screen images? JPG, PNG preferred?

[@AboveAndBeyondProduc]

is it possible to drop a background to replace the black background when doing split screen?

[@JohnPaulMusicUK]

How do you make a scrolling ticker? Pretty simple on OBS.. can’t seem to do it on eCamm Live.

[@anina_net]

How can I get better looking skin? Are there any skin filters if I’m just using my Mac book pro?

[@TheChamberRoomExperience]

This won’t go to Periscope and the screen share is crazy because I have to cover the whole ecamm screen. I don’t understand with Periscope I tried logging in About 10 times and I get a notification every single time that I am trying to login onto Periscope. But it never actually logs me in because I end up looking at a white screen over the E camm right after it looks like it’s about to login but it doesn’t let me in.

[@StartToFinishPodcastingTV]

Does Eccam allow you to place Powerpoint presentations into the overlay or at all?

[@StoryCityChurch]

Adrian, thank you. Speaking on behalf of a church that has needed to graduate quickly into live streaming because of the pandemic, Ecamm has been really helpful. Your tutorials are really helpful. I have a question about overlays- can you somehow create an overlay while in live mode and edit it how you want it to appear on screen BEFORE activating it visually to your viewers? Also, in answer to your question about countdown timers, we like to use them because we go live 20 minutes before service starts to reassure people that we are there and give them time to find us and wait with us :) thanks!

[@AdrianSalisbury]

please come and join the Ecamm Academy, it's exactly for people like you! It will be $99 well spent I promise www.adriansalisbury.com/ecamm-live-academy

[@ear916]

Hello did you ever figure out how to edit an overlay BEFORE putting it live? I am struggling with that in our church. Thanks

[@arthurj2985]

Just purchased the software, Great info thanks…

[@WealthandWisdom]

When you were clicking through presentation, was that keynote or some other format

[@AdrianSalisbury]

Wealth and Wisdom I export from keynote as a pdf and bring that in 👍

[@WealthandWisdom]

Great, didn’t know and will use!

[@almostjefri]

How do you make the PDF full screen? Thanks!

[@AdrianSalisbury]

size it to 1920 x 1080 pixels and it snaps there automatically

[@almostjefri]

@@AdrianSalisbury Thanks!

[@valleygirl670]

not pdf, PNG

[@AdrianSalisbury]

@@valleygirl670 you want a full size PNG? Simply drag it onto the screen, the same as the PDF, just make sure it's 16:9 format as I said above 👍

[@VanguardsofIsrael]

Does this program have the ability to create frequently edited changing text transitions? For example, overlays or duplicate scene page with (words/name, etc), overlays without the audience seeing the creation of the changes? This would be applicable for scriptures, song lyrics, etc. Or in OBS lingo......preview scene transition with dual ability to see each screen simultaneously...Thanks

[@themusicofmikegoodwin]

Adrian firstly thanks for great tutorials. Loving this program. I'm using PDF overlays created from pages docs. Whilst they display well on my screen they are not displaying to well over ZOOM via virtual camera. Any suggestions as to getting better quality PDF's and Audio/Video in general out of ZOOM. Mostly I teach 1 to 1/2 students in a conference. I have 2 x cannon DSLR Cameras and iMac setup with Audio interface (Focusrite Scarlett)

[@AdrianSalisbury]

Should be the same quality on zoom as Ecamm. Is your internet good? Is your output quality from Ecamm set to 1080? You may be interested in my Ecamm Live Academy which starts THIS MONDAY! www.adriansalisbury.com/ecamm-live-academy

[@themusicofmikegoodwin]

@@AdrianSalisbury Thanks Mate, I think I got it sorted now. Have tweaked that many settings I can't tell you what I did. I think there was a check box "display in HD". Yes I should do your course.

[@WillieKush]

My web widgets are not showing up for some reason

[@FrederickLakesJr]

I use count down timers before my twitch stream goes live.

[@LambertPreacher]

Thanks Adrian! All of my overlays automatically fill the entire window. On here, you have them smaller and resizable. How do I do that, so for instance I can have my main video showing with Keynote slides in the corner?

[@LambertPreacher]

Ha! I got it.... sorry.

[@RyanNagy]

I supposed you could use a countdown timer if it was a sales video and the offer you are making ends when the clock hits zero. I have used many countdown times on my sales pages, but never one embedded in a video or webinar. Peace out! Great video series.

[@rokstaz]

How we add multiple presenters to a webinar style event? I can only find reference to using skype, which not every uses

[@AdrianSalisbury]

For now Skype is the only way but Ecamm will be soon releasing a way to bring guests in directly so stay tuned ;-)

[@rokstaz]

@@AdrianSalisbury thanks for the quick reply, look forward to update :D

[@ricgzz]

Can you use animated overlays in Ecamm Live?

[@PhillipSwindall]

Question: If I created a lowerthird image (no text) and I want to use Ecamm's CG for the text, is there any way to GROUP the background with the text to bring it on and off? Additionally, can I change part of the lower third without changing the rest?

[@RunyCalmera]

How can I draw in a video? Like a video with my name on the lower third which is a dynamic video?

[@ManoaDavid]

How can you add TICKER on ECAMM

[@sarahcandee3765]

What about a music overlay?

[@AdrianSalisbury]

Hi Sarah. These should be able to be added in as sound effects in Ecamm

[@ourawesomeplanet]

yeah we want our live to be exactly 24 mins so the countdown helps!

[@AdrianSalisbury]

Our Awesome Planet well now in 3.4 the countdowns can trigger an action. You could set it to change to a new scene with an intro video and when that end it automatically ends the live! 🤯

[@tedz2000]

Can you overlay a program or in my case I want stream my zoom meeting through ecamm so the audience can see the zoom feed

[@Erin_USA]

Can I set more than 2 countdown timers? I'm planning on doing "study with me" live sessions and want to have 45 mins study time countdown & 10 mins break time countdown.

[@AdrianSalisbury]

You can set as many countdown timers as you want yes.

[@welkieandmerry]

how to put pdf overlay. there is no option

[@Studeo22MediaGroupNetwork]

Brilliant!

[@levydb]

When overlaying a PDF on a live broadcast, can the viewer see the page number navigation overlay at the bottom of the pdf?

[@RadarApologetics]

Great video

[@AdrianSalisbury]

Thank you

[@kevinr8]

I would use the countdown timer to make 10 minute Songs for my fans

[@studentoftheword6115]

How do you create an overlay. This shows you how to use an overlay that was already created. We also need to know how to IMPORT an overlay.

[@TheHeartOfAVillain]

PLEASE mention ANIMATED OVERLAYS.....

[@AdrianSalisbury]

The Heart Of A Villain they weren’t a thing when I recorded this, maybe an update required, good point 👍

[@TheHeartOfAVillain]

I’ve tried to import and use animated overlays from Tuber Tools and it doesn’t show up. Not sure what I’m doing wrong.

[@jonathanyarborough7537]

@@AdrianSalisbury Yes please do one on animated overlays

[@AbhijitPohankar]

Sir i wish you speak a bit slowly and close up the shots on the desktop when you say somthing about it...Its too casual a tutorial..

[@welkieandmerry]

Sorry its my mishaf its okay now.
