virtual interviews workflow/tech advice?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #70566 of 76343 |
Hey Guys,

I've got a project at work kicking around. We're looking into doing virtual
webcam interviews and I've been charged with recommending the tech/workflow.


So far I'm thinking to use iMovie's record-from-webcam feature to record
just the iChat video, and simultaneously run Snapz Pro (or iShowU) to
capture the screen + video in case we want that. Have heard that SnpazPro
files don't play nice with FCP though, is that true?

Thinking the built-in webcam on the MBP isn't good enough quality for what
we want...any recommendations for external webcams? Also wondering if anyone
knows of good USB lav mics so we can get good audio straight into the
computer as well.

Basically, to anyone who's done virtual interviews or similar, I'm looking
for any workflow/tech recs you can pass my way.

Thanks everyone!


-Lauren
