Dear lovely lady, thank you for you informative video (so professional and detailed). You really provide some insights that no other content creators mention. Also, I really like your presentation style. Appreciated and subscribed!

[@meredithmarsh]

Thank you 🙏

[@tracythrowerconyers]

I would love to see a video on that deck!

[@DarrenM]

I just love seeing how to setup a recording space. I also love how they evolve over time. I’m a big fan of being set up and ready to record.

[@meredithmarsh]

Thank you for your contribution!!

[@MsNeuroSpicEE]

omg I was just saying exactly that! I wish you could just do that too!!!😩

[@ConstantineIsslamow]

Thank you so much for doing this for us. Cheers

[@meredithmarsh]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@JTTechie]

Hi Meredith. This was very useful and onformative. Been setting up and tearing down for each recording. Going to build my Youtubicle lol. Thanks!

[@meredithmarsh]

Yesssss!! Get your youtubicle set up!

[@TC_Conner]

Such a wonderful and informative and enjoyable watch Miss Meredith! Please do a video on how you programmed your Stream Deck. I have the same one and only know how to add a “Open” function. 😩 You absolutely hit the nail on the head when you mentioned fussing around with what you have to do if you don’t record directly into the computer. Which is what I’m doing! 😫😫 I need to get my “YouTubicle” set up properly, I know it’s gonna take more effort to truly “set it and forget it,” but I’m very close. Thanks to you! I plan on using your guide to help me reach the finish line. 💜😎💜

[@meredithmarsh]

Glad it was informative for you!! I added streamdeck to my list of topics.

[@LorenaBergan-nz3kt]

I’m doing interviews from home and on line. What I need is a good camera, & mixer that won’t break the bank. We are a non-profit

[@customersfirstacademy2638]

Thank you this is super helpful! Is there an easy way to auto-focus a Canon DSLR if I'm filming myself?

[@meredithmarsh]

A lot of canon cameras have auto focus that detects your face. Best thing to do is google it for your model or check the manual 😜

[@LivingByFire]

I'm honestly surprised you did not recommend the Canon M6 Mark II. I use it for my KZbin channel and it works very well.

[@meredithmarsh]

The M6 mk2 is a great camera! But I hate the flip UP screen vs flip OUT screen. It gets in the way of any mics mounted in the hot shoe. I sold mine last year.

[@thelouisdibianco]

Love this video to streamline my KZbin creation process. One challenge. I have a 24" iMac with the M1 chip. It does not have a port for the Cam Link. What's the alternative? Thanks.

[@meredithmarsh]

You might need to get a hub or something to connect more stuff :-)

[@MoradPortofino]

Hi. Great video. You're a good youtuber 😊

[@meredithmarsh]

Thanks!! 🙏

[@amorimf.fernandes2738]

Love your videos. I learnt with you making videos on iMovie. Many thanks teacher! 😊

[@sarahrosereads]

Awesome video...but still intimidating LOL

[@Sketchrcat]

Meredith, can you use the direct recording into a computer using a cam-link when using a Sony HC X-2000 Camcorder to record instead of a camera?

[@meredithmarsh]

I’m not sure. Does it have a micro-hdmi output on it?

[@MsNeuroSpicEE]

I have the Hyperx QuadCast S is that okay? everyone always says Rhode Shure or Audio Technica, but I can't get any seed money to start my podcast, my equipment has been expensive 😕 I don't have a mixer thing and I can't afford one I don't know what to do I spent a lot on my setup and I am 3/4 of the way there which is quite frustrating

[@thecopyworx]

Two quick questions: Do I need the dummy battery to use the Cam Link - or for any other reason aside from preventing the battery from running out in the middle of recording. And… I have a Canon Rebel 7 camera. Does the lens you recommend work with this camera? Thank you for your awesome videos! ❤

[@meredithmarsh]

You don’t need the dummy battery for the camlink to work, you’re right - it’s just so you don’t run your battery down while recording! The lens I recommend won’t work it’s the rebel. It’s only for M-series canons.

[@thecopyworx]

@@meredithmarsh thanks so much!

[@SimoneEppler]

Hey, thank you for the guidance. I set everything up accordingly and it works quite well, except for two things: I have a major lag in descript between the audio and the video (video lagging behind) and I feel like Descript is messing with the audio quality (distorted audio). Two questions: Have you heard of the lagging problem from others? And do you switch off all the audio settings in Descript for the recording or fo you keep it on the default settings? I am really bummed out that i got rhis expensive mic and I still have to fix the audio in Audacity. 😢 Thank you for any answers or pointers 😊

[@meredithmarsh]

Awesome!! I do sometimes experience lag in descript. It is a real pain. When it happens, I adjust it the best I can. I posted a video about how to adjust the out of sync audio. But reach out to descript support because they may be able to give you some guidance there. I turn off Studio Sound in descript. Unless you have a lot of background noise, studio sound just makes my audio sound distorted and maybe that’s what’s happening for you? I do let descript adjust the volume automatically though. Hope that helps!

[@SimoneEppler]

@@meredithmarsh Wow, thank you soooo much for answering so quickly ❤️! Okay, I will contact Descript to see if I can fine-tune something and watch your video. Worst case is that I have to detach the audio and sync it manually. I did find out what (mainly) went wrong with the the audio: I accidentally changed the gain to 42. 🫡😅 Also, it turned out that my monitor headphones habe the wrong that's why I didn't hear that it was way too loud. I will do test recordings with and without the audio leveling in Descript and see if that makes any difference. Audio IS hard! Thanks again for your help! 🫶

[@antionyoreed9335]

Hello Meredith. Great content as always.❤ You said that you record your videos to your computer so that you won’t have to sync audio and video later. I use the mark ll for video and the rodecaster pro11 for audio. How would I record to the computer to not have to sync both of those later? Thanks

[@meredithmarsh]

You would need to record into a software where you can select your camera for video and the rodecaster for audio I would guess. I don’t have a rodecaster so I’m not sure. Try it!

[@antionyoreed9335]

@@meredithmarsh . I’ll try it. Do you think streamyard would be a good software? Thanks for responding .

[@meredithmarsh]

@@antionyoreed9335 yeah it works well!

[@RJMartinez]

Meredith, Noooooooo! I was in the process of buying the Mark II because I have had Mark I for about 5 yrs and I think it was time for an upgrade. Now Im trying to see which camera I should invest in now haha. It sucks they're discountining it :(

[@RJMartinez]

Seems like Canon came out with the new Canon EOS R50 line up trying to replace the Mark II. I believe

[@meredithmarsh]

@@RJMartinez 😢😢😢 i think the R50 is a good alternative but I like the R10. Waiting for new sigma lenses!

[@RJMartinez]

​@@meredithmarsh I plan on using it as a talking head camera for my video content the R10 is the other camera you talked about. Between the R10 and R50 is what I'm thinking now. You recommend the R10. I got the elgato cam link through your link. Thank you

[@ralphb998]

@@RJMartinez or @meredithmarsh_vidpromom, since the R10 is not Elgato’s camlink compatibility list, can you confirm that the Camlink 4k works with the R10?

[@lancecodes]

Have you had any issues with the M1-M3 line of Mac laptops with Cam Link? I’ve been having all kinds of issues :/

[@meredithmarsh]

No, I haven’t. I have had M1 and M2 working fine.

[@TStaff]

The canon M mount was never going to last. How come you dont have an unbias camera list?

[@meredithmarsh]

Why would I have an unbiased camera list? I’m not a journalist and this channel is not a news organization. I’m a consumer of these things so I give my opinion based on my experience.

[@thrivecartuniversity]

You have a really nice hookup. Will take me a while to get there. lol Time will tell.

[@MsNeuroSpicEE]

Oh bc I am single Mom, I am a professional person in IT but I am still one mama, raising teen boys without their dad, I am a widow without any money left to us, ya know? so I am not sure how people are doing this

[@LorenaBergan-nz3kt]

Yikes, my space will cause you to run over here and scream! I want natural lighting. My bistro table is right in front of the window, blinds half open, no sun!
